Hi, I am looking the translation of

"LIBERTE,
ÉGALITÉ,
FRATERNITÉ
FOR LIFE."


to Ulster Gaelic. I am only considering this as a Tattoo so no hurry.

Go raibh maith agat.

I use Google Translate but understand it can often get it wrong.

Few issues I see here. Equality is "comhionnanas". ar feadh needs the genitive. But I also think "for life" is an impersonal statement, so "ar feadh an tsaoil" would be better.

Saoirse, Comhionnanas and Bráithreachas ar feadh an tsaoil

Wait for more input.

seconded. "For life" might also be translated as "forever", ie. go brách, go síoraí, go deo...

Good point, they are nice alternatives.

Many thanks, for all the replies, I do prefer
"Saoirse, Comhionnanas, Bráithreachas go brách"
would it be fine that way without the "and"



Go raibh maith agat

Thank you everyone for the help and input.
