    Dia 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?

    As a follow-up, here’s what I’ve used so far (with English for reference)

    closeText: ‘Dún’, (Close)
    prevText: ‘Roimhe’, (Previous)
    nextText: ‘An chead eile’, (Next)
    monthNames: [‘Eanáir’, ‘Feabhra’, ‘Márta’, ‘Aibreán’, ‘Bealtaine’, ‘Meitheamh’, ‘Iúil’, ‘Lúnasa’, ‘Meán Fómhar’, ‘Deireadh Fómhair’, ‘Samhain’, ‘Nollaig’],

    Athbhliain 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? 🙂

    Go 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!
