    I want to translate "Reach for the stars" - the google translate suggestion doesn't look right - "Bhaint amach do na réaltaí" - or is it ok?

    Google Translate is a disaster.

    "Bain amach na réaltaí" might work.

    Or is there a seanfhocal that says the same thing, and is nicer Irish than a literal translation ?I'm sure there is , but cannot think of one. i.e. Aim high- do your very best- something along those lines. (It's for a school display so I want to get it right- could be looking at it for years!!):)
