[PATCH] Add Irish (ga) translation for Proxmox VE

[PATCH] Add Irish (ga) translation for Proxmox VE

[Aindriú Mac Giolla Eoin]

Hello,

Please find attached a patch adding a complete Irish (language code ga) 
translation for Proxmox VE.

The translation aims to provide consistent Irish terminology for 
technical UI elements such as storage, networking, and system operations.

I would appreciate any feedback or suggestions.

Hey Aindriú,

sadly it seems that the attachment was stripped. Can you send the
changes as a patch [1] that is send as the email's body instead of as an
attachment?

Also if you haven't already, you will need to sign our CLA [2].

Thanks for your work and understanding!

Best regards,
Shannon

I really love that language, but AFAIK all native Irish speakers also speak English?
So this is additional work without any advantage? AFAIK, there are only 80K speakers worldwide (all English speakers)?

Hey Aindriú,

after some internal discussion, i just quickly wanted to follow up here
to say that Irish is likely not worth the trouble for us to maintain.
Points raised internally were that there aren't many Irish native
speakers that use it as their primary language [1] and that likely all
Irish speakers will also be able to use English.

Thanks for your trouble regardless.

Best regards,
Shannon
