ParticipantDia daoibh, I’m trying to set up a ga_IE locale option on my website, and one task I have is setting up the abbreviated month names (Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec). I’ve looked in several places and I can’t seem to find any established standard for these abbreviations as Gaeilge. Do I just take the first three letters as in English, or would that look weird to a native speaker? Is there a standard?

ParticipantAthbhliain faoi mhaise! What about using “ar ais” (backwards) and “ar aghaidh” (forwards) for prevText and nextText, respectively? The problem with “An chéad … eile” is that you’d normally have to specify what it refers to, e.g. “an chéad téacs eile”, “an chéad lá eile”. In timeOnlyTitle, there should be a fada on “amháin”. As for abbreviations, I have no idea whether they’re used in Irish. Anyone got an Irish-language calendar? 🙂

ParticipantGo raibh maith agat, I knew there were better ones for next and back that I had seen on other Irish language sites, I just couldn’t think of them. Thanks for the help!
