My family will be visiting Ireland soon and one of the kids has absence epilepsy. Helping to work up a medical info card for them, esp since they'll be mostly in rural areas and rarely in cities. Thought having some info in Gaeilge on it would be beneficial and don't want to rely on some Google/AI crap translation. Also anything else you think would be helpful, please lmk. Really appreciate the help.

"Childhood Absence Epilepsy"
"Seizures cause brief staring spells and unresponsiveness that may appear like daydreaming or zoning out."

Many thanks in advance.

It would be easier to just leave it in English. There are no longer any monolingual Irish speakers, meaning that all people who speak Irish speak another language, and almost always speak English. Plus many of the words that are in your translation request do not have traditional/accurate Irish equivalents, as only recently have people decided to inject the language with such made up words that would be unrecegnisable to most native speakers. It would be easier for most if not all Irish speakers to understand the English version, as little attention is paid to such words in the native language.

I agree with Seamus, in fact I’d worry that adding Irish to something medical like this would give a doctor/first responder pause and maybe they wouldn’t take it seriously.

Ok, good to know. Thank you.

Translating medical terminology into any language is difficult. If possible, I think you should keep the terms in English to avoid errors in translation.
