Looking for help to translate into Irish 450 words about the Belfast City Cemetary sections, focusing this time on the Jewish section. Would appreciate if anyone has time!

Their heritage is Hebrew or Yiddish. It would be fake to put it into Irish.

Just send the text (or a link) and we'll see, Angelina.

Jews can speak ANY language. I know Jews who speak Irish fluently. And Spanish, Ladino, Amharic are common languages, it's not just Hebrew and Yiddish.

It wouldn't be right to translate anybody's name, regardless of religion or language. Tell us what you exactly you want translated Angelina.

It's unlikely a cemetery in Northern Ireland has been set up for Jewish Gaeilgeóir (is there a single one in Northern Ireland?)í. My hunch is that there is not a single person buried there who spoke Irish, and not a single person buried there that had a single ancestor who spoke Irish.
