i have these messages and i would like to know which dialect they are written in
and also if the google translations are accurate.

buiochas a ghabhail leat mo ghra...thank you my love

tá mé chomh mór sin i ngrá leat ...i am so in love with you

i'm not sure if there are any accent marks missing on the top line.

thanks mick

I don't think I'd use the words "Google," "translation" and "accurate" in the same sentence.

"Thank you, my love": "go raibh maith agat, a ghrá"

I think the second might be OK if you drop the "sin," but wait for more input on that.

Redwolf's translation for "thank you my love" is correct. For different variations of I love you, take a look at this topic.

Tá mé chomh mór sin i ngrá leat ...I am so in love with you
That's correct, and "sin" adds emphasis.

buíochas a ghabhail leat mo ghra...thank you my love
That would be only correct in the context of an incomplete sentence.
Ba mhaith liom buíochas a ghabhail leat a ghrá - I would like to thank you my love.

"Thank you, my love": "go raibh maith agat, a ghrá"
Like Redwolf said :yes:

just one typo in the above translations:

ghabháil has a síneadh fada on its 2nd "a".

Picky, picky :darklaugh:

...but I may as well join in the fun - mo ghrá is missing a síneadh fada.
