Translations

In the early 19th century, thousands of British soldiers marched into Ireland to execute the first geographic survey of Ireland. Their orders were to translate every Gaelic place name into English, effectively erasing centuries of Irish history and culture. Translations tells the story of a small community of impoverished, Irish farmers and the British soldiers who set up camp in their village. As the two cultures collide, the severe language barrier between them prompts humor, strife, and ultimately tragedy.
