I posted previously for a friend and you were all wonderul.
I am looking for a translation for the following:
Be brave, live well.
I was about to say that it is an engraving so I would like it to be as accurate as possible, but then realized that's riduculous..how many folks request an inaccurate translation?

You'd be surprised! We get a fair number of people who want translations from ungrammatical English into equally ungrammatical Irish :lach:

More like wanting "All your base are belong to us."

Bíodh misneach agat, caith saol maith

Ah, that's Irish. Someone else would need to do SG for you.

For the Scottish Gàidhlig, perhaps:
Bi misneachail, bitheadh beatha mhath agad
Be brave, have a good life
I'm still a learner, so be sure to get input from others, especially for tattoos.
