It's difficult to translate that short few words. One of the peculiarities of the Irish language is that 'baile' means both 'home' and 'town' . It is not normally a problem because they can be seperated by context.

Baile eile = another home / another town

I can't figure out an unambiguous way to translate just the two words.
Warning: Reasonable command of Irish - but I still make basic errors.
