No, that phrase doesn't make any sense, so I assume you got it from Google translator. Google translator is only good for getting the gist in one language of something which is in another language. It is terrible for composing text in a language with which you are not familiar.

There are various choices one could make for given words in the sentence, but here's one suggestion for now, and if you wait then others may have comments or corrections:

ag breathnú le haoibhneas ar an streachailt chun a bheith neach daonna ar fad
admiring [regarding with admiration] the struggle simply to be human

i had already posted on here cuz i am getting a tattoo that says "admiring the struggle it takes simply to be human" and i really want it in gaelic writing i had one gentlemen comment this i was wondering if this is the translation im looking for or if anyone had more suggestions...
"ag breathnú le haoibhneas ar an streacha"

Perhaps

ag breathnú le meas mór ar an streachailt nach mbaineann sé ach bheith ina dhuine

eshenne, I've merged your threads. You're welcome to ask for confirmation; in fact, we encourage you to do so. But please keep all discussion pertaining to this translation on one thread. If your request scrolls off the first page without confirmation , post a follow-up to your own message to bump up the priority of the thread. Do this in the same thread by clicking on the Post Reply button. (In the body of the message, you can just say "bump".) Do not start a new thread because that just starts the discussion all over again, with a new group of people who haven't had the benefit of seeing the previous discussion.

Craig11, when someone says they're looking for confirmation on something they've already posted on here, it's best to report the post (so a mod can deal with it). Then, once the mod has either merged the threads, or locked one of them, you can reply. Otherwise, we end up with discussions in multiple places.
