I think they're trying to say "I won't be broken," but it's not correct. Where did you find it?

Probably this, although it being wrong could make any number of other things, too.

It could also be an attempt to say "I will not break." It's kind of hard to tell what happened without knowing the original intent.

Ní bhrisfidh mé
I will not break

or you might like:

Ní bhrisfidh mé choíche
I will never break

It is recommended that you always wait for three to agree on a translation.
I speak Connemara Irish, and my input will often reflect that.
I will do an mp3 file on request for short translations.

Ni bhrisfear mé choíche, perhaps? I will never be broken. Otherwise it leaves me wondering what exactly you'll never break!

*choíche is heard achoíche (achoidhche) in Ulster.

Wouldn't "...choíche mé" be more natural? For me it is anyway...

At any rate, I think géilleadh is a more suitable verb to use in Irish.
