Create a dotALBA Top Level Domain for Scots Gaelic Internet Sites
The Issue
Ged a chaidh tòrr a dhèanamh gu Gàidhlig ath-bheothachadh o chionn ùine ghoirid tha mòran a 'cur cudrom air dualchas agus cultar a chaidh seachad (me prògraman BBC ALBA mu dhéidhinn caoraich, croitean agus iasgach). Ged a tha an dualchas sinn cudromach cha mhair Gàidhlig beò mur bheil seo ri fhaicinn mar phàirt den 21mh linn an T-saoghail. Tha sinn a 'faireachdainn gun e dòigh mhath tòiseachadh nam biodh Pàrlamaid na h-Alba ag obair còmhla ri ICANN a chruthachadh dotag ALBA àrd-ìre àrainn (TLD). ' S e sin am pàirt deireannach ri seòladh làrach-lìn (me www.website.alba). Tha sinn a 'faireachdainn nan robh TLD sònraichte airson Gàidhlig a bhiodh ' bhrosnachidh cleachdadh na Gàidhlig air an eadar-lìon. Agus bhiodh e furasda aithneachadh mar làrach-lìn Ghàidhlig .
While a lot has been done to revive Scots Gaelic recently much of this has been focused on heritage and past culture (e.g. the stream of BBC ALBA programs on sheep, crofts and fishing). While heritage is important we feel Scots Gaelic will not survive if it is not seen as part of the 21st century world. We feel a good way to start this would be for the Scottish Parliament to work with ICANN to create a dot alba top level domain (TLD) That is the bit you stick on the end of your website address (e.g. www.website.alba) We feel that having a TLD specifically for Scots Gaelic would encourage the use of Scots Gaelic on the web. And it would be instantly recognisable as a Gaelic website.
