Ireland has a vibrant UX and UI design community so to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, we have translated some key UX and UI design phrases into Irish for you to use.
Every year, cities and towns across the world go green for St. Patrick’s Day and for the first time since 2019, parades that pay tribute to the music, culture and people of Ireland can happen in real life so there is a lot to celebrate. However, people may not realise that the first two weeks of March mark another important element of Irish life; our national language.
Seachtain na nGaeilge (Irish Week) acknowledges the beauty of the Irish language and demonstrates that it is not just a living language but a thriving one too. The Irish dictionary is constantly being updated with new words and phrases to reflect the ever changing and modern lives of the people who speak it. As one of the leading tech hubs in Europe, Ireland has a vibrant UX and UI community but what about the Irish language within those communities?
To celebrate St. Patrick’s Day and Seachtain na nGaeilge, we have translated 11 of the most essential UX, UI and design terms into Irish for you to use and enjoy in the workplace. Whether you’re fluent, have a cúpla focal (that means a word or two) or are entirely new to the Irish language, add your own dash of green to the week by using some of these key design phrases with your colleagues.
