I Tried to Play an Irish Language Version of Pokemon

For St. Patrick's Day this year, I tried to play Pokemon Red and Blue in Gaeilge, our native Irish language. I haven't studied Irish in 10 Years
Check out the Pokemon Red and Blue fan translation here. A massive thanks to Draoi for making this, it is seriously so cool to see something like this made / after_6_months_of_work...
Watch me play Irish Geoguessr with Irish friends: • Three Irish KZbinrs ...

Such a mindfuck to hear just how localized the pronunciation of this language gets. My great-grandparents spoke and taught a version that looked the same yet sounded completely different. Gramma Lalor used so much flourish and throat when she spoke it. I feel so bad that barely understand any Irish whatsoever.

[@LordJazzly]

Well, most native speakers _would_ use a more 'throaty' pronunciation, since the various Gaelics use pharyngealisation to mark different grades of consonant, making it an important part of the language being intelligible to listeners. But, as noted in the video - Irish language education in Ireland teaches the language as if its students are all background speakers (for various reasons), so students tend to speak Irish as if it's an extension of their existing native language. Which is usually English. That said, this isn't too bad for a (geographically and population-wise) smaller language learnt at school and then (by the sounds of it) not used much in-community. I've heard people with religious/ritual languages in their background/upbringing have a lot more difficulty speaking and reading; practise might not be everything with language, but you can't really do _without_ it.

[@Axius27]

To be fair, unless you're lucky enough to have another language spoken to you during that two-ish year period where infants are receptive to language learning, learning another language is bloody hard. I had German lessons for a good four years of school, and I didn't absorb anything beyond how to recognise German words (probably because I joined the class a year late and missed all the basic fundamentals :/ )

[@bertramjensen188]

You guys generally have it much rougher. The way I see it there's basically no language easier to learn than English purely because of how widespread it is. So if that's your first language it's gonna take significantly more effort to learn anything else

[@morbonator5091]

The Cáca Milis bit made me think of a short film we watched in French lessons: in it, an old woman takes a bus or tram (been a while, can't remember which one). She sits in one of those seats where you have two double-seats facing each other, making it a 4-person space. A black man sits down across from her at the next stop. She gets really arsey with him, insulting him for not speaking perfectly fluent French and a bunch of racist stuff. At the next stop, a ticket inspector comes aboard. The woman gets hers out. She again insults the black man for not having a ticket. So having had enough, in a moment where the inspector isn't watching, the black man does the only reasonable thing in that situation: he fucking *eats the granny's ticket*. Just snatches it from her hand and eats it. So the inspector reaches them, she complains about the man. He speaks up for the first time and in perfect French and supreme calm tells the inspector he doesn't know what the woman is talking about, then gets his own ticket from his pocket. She gets in trouble, he doesn't. And the short film ends. I did not expect that to happen at all while watching it, so it was very funny at the time (this was about 10 years ago). Moral of the story: don't be a KZbin like that old woman was.

[@azzafromtazza7744]

I was expecting that story to end like that ad where a white woman is sitting next to a black man on an airplane and she requests to be moved, and the flight attendant says there's a spare seat in first class and gives it to the black man instead of the racist woman.

[@Joshi_ForReal]

I swear I watched that film but it was in German? And I don't think it was a German dub because I remember the lips lining up with what they were saying 🤣 so there must be 2 versions of the same short film lmaoooo

[@miles6492]

We watched that in German too, and there was a very specific word choice I noticed in it... You see, there are two words meaning "to eat"--- one is "essen", which is used for people, and the other is "fressen", which is used for animals. So she says, "Er *frisst* mein Karte!" Which *really* adds to her racist shittery IMO.

[@LordPichuPal]

That is hilarious that he just eats the ticket, of all things he could do. Even better that the guy gets to show her up for being a dick like that. It's a good message for people to learn about or understand, and doing it in a humorous kind of way helps lighten the mood of it.

[@Erik_Emer]

I thought it's originally German. It's called "Schwarzfahrer," which is a double entendre literally meaning "black passanger," or but also figuratively meaning "fare evader."

[@Nefi424]

Pokemon games can legit be good resources for language studies, since the language tends to be simple and understandable by children as well. Plus in some languages like Japanese it also shows the reading of a kanji and not just the symbol itself so you can also recognize them by sound / learn their pronunciation. Extremely cool to see it done with Irish as well!

[@SparkSovereign]

I actually learned to read by playing Civilization; I wanted to play the game my dad was playing, so I was the only kindergartner who could spell "despotism". 😂 Games can be excellent tools for learning.

[@dazza2350]

the name of the kanji with hiragana/katakana on top is "furagana"/"振り仮名" and yeah it's a really cool thing JP has the first pokémon game to have it was the DS games (black and white) I think where you can tap on a kanji and it will show he hiragana on them

[@LocusTime]

I have done this! When I was studying french, I set my Pokemon Sword to french to try and casually learn it. Was certainly an interesting experience and I picked up some words, but not the most effective since it was quite easy to play through without knowing the language (since I’ve played through SwSh before + they’re quite hand-hold-y games) and therefore my brain just didn’t bother to pick up too much. So, for any wanting to try it, I would say its worth it for fun, but practically you will want to play through a harder pokemon game and maybe best to have a dictionary with you to check the words you don’t know, so you actually teach yourself it rather than guessing/ignoring the words. Either way very fun to see RT attempt it!

[@madamered1103]

As a Latin American who grew up with Pokémon, yeah, I think a lot of other people like me can confirm that they do help a lot, since over here it wasn't until XY we could actually legally play Pokémon in Spanish, everything we got was the English versions of the game, so you either tried your best to understand or you just didn't get far lmao

Thanks to you Dan and especially to Cloé as well for doing our language justice.

Eu falo português e já é difícil de entender inglês às vezes, imagine então irlandês. É um alívio ter a transcrição na tela para acompanhar. Obrigado pelo trabalho duro Cloé, todos os brasileiros que assistem o Dan agradecem! ❤ (TRANSLATION) I speak portuguese and is hard already to understand english sometimes, so imagine trying to understand irish. It's a relief to have the transcription on the screen to follow up. Thank you for the hard work Cloé, all the Brazilians who watch Dan are greatful! ❤

Really awesome to see the linguistic syntax here! I've always gotten scared away from Irish just based on pronunciation alone

[@bubbletea5294]

Huge props and love to Cloé for her editing (which is always wonderful, but especially here for the translations!)

[@burningrabbit7278]

This is honestly such a cool translation work. I love works in translation of any native tongue, but especially ones that are falling by the wayside due to whatever factors, be it natural or imposed like England's colonial project. This is a wonderful revival and a great way of keeping the language alive.

I've been interested in Irish and would genuinely like to see more content like this, despite not knowing anything much more complicated than dia duit.

[@anfearaerach]

There are free resources out there you can use! Foclóir has the pronunciations, and teanglann is the dictionary.

I would recommend watching the VOD for this one over on Twitch before it gets nuked. Reading chat with the added stuff not mentioned in this highlight vid is pretty cool. There's also a phrase that is said in jest in Ireland but in actuality is not very good that kept being said, so much that Dan had to clarify what it meant. And with nearly everything I learnt that stream, I forgot what it was 😂

[@samanthafaenovale2463]

Just got out of a shower. What a lovely gift, thank you Cloé!

[@GreatestEver-DAKE]

ofc this comes out 3 days after my irish orals. Could have used this to study

[@dimawithhismeatgrinder]

ive always wanted to hear what irish sounds like. what a creepy little phonology. like a bug that is mildly unsettling but mostly just kinda cute in a weird way

[@rdesignartes2520]

Cloé does GOD'S work on this channel, she deserves all the love she can get jesus.

[@soyouthoughticoulddraw]

As a student currently studying irish at university, this video both game me great joy (yu ming is ainm dom and just language and general) and terrible flashbacks (caca milis)

[@csfung5208]

Cloe you're awesome, makes this video so much more fun! Thanks to Dan for playing this too, been enjoying very much while not having enough time to gaming myself

[@novembers_GH0ST]

watched the vod already but watching this too because of all the effort put into the editing

[@efu2046]

Thank you for editing this, Cloé! Thank you for playing this too, Mr. RumbleTumbleGame!

[@Blitztwink]

Projects like this or Among Us' official Irish translation make me so happy frrrrrrr, I gotta try this out

[@recurvestickerdragon]

Dan needs to assemble the Irish Lads once more, to play that and other Irish localizations

[@jotunnblue]

Genuinely curious to see more of this. And of course, Thank You Cloe for the editing! You rockstar!

[@BierBart12]

I live in northern Germany and I think this would be just as surreal as if someone translated the entirety of Pokemon into Plattdeutsch(low German) Except absolutely no person under 70 now knows this language, But I still wish this was a thing. It'd really prove the theory that randomized strings(AI) are just gonna spread culture

[@GliYch]

Thank you, Cloé! Much apprechiated!

[@brothermomenet]

Best thing ive seen so far in the irish language was vida la vida by colm mcguinesse such a great cover

[@kathl.5598]

Thank you for highlighting how much work and thought goes into fan translations of media!

[@BasicallyBaconSandvichIV]

Thanks Cloe! This really helps me learning Gaeilge!

[@showinglight359]

Thanks for the translations Cloe

[@senabecool7232]

Thanks Cloe for doing RT's work

[@violentvixen592]

Thank you so much for your time and effort Cloé! Wonderful, wonderful job. Perfectly placed, too, and used smartly.

[@rashbandi9835]

Big ups to Chloe for her awesome subtitle work

[@arlentile8713]

Thanks to Cloe for the editing magic!

[@babo0n240]

Really amazing work! I’d love to see Irish be a language option in more games

[@SharowbladyeGaymerPorate]

Thank you Cleo, you make all these videos amazing

[@mattygee6852]

Thank you chloe!! This video is amazing to even struggle through hearing but it's amazing to see the subtitles to help!!

[@demonextdoor]

i was very surprised he didn't name the rival "Caoimhín" honestly
