Harry,
I have not been able to discover any translation into Scottish
Gaelic...The Green Ray would be an obvious appropriate one. The Director
of the Glasgow Gaelic Book Centre (a public body) has told me that the
expense of translation and publication is high and that it can only
produce translations on the basis of requests that will guarantee good
sales. Possibly there is also a structural problem...it would probably
be necessary to translate from English into Gaelic (rather than directly
from French) and so possibly translation rights to pay to the publishers
in the case of good modern English translations. As most Gaelic speakers
are bi-lingual in any case, there would need to be a special reason
(perhaps in the education sector?) to justify a translation.
