If you would like something translated into Manx, or from Manx into English, Culture Vannin can help. The service is typically free for short translations of fewer than 50 words.
We aim to process translation requests within ten working days, although more complex translations may take longer: we will advise you of this at the time of enquiry. Please allow a good lead time of at least two working weeks.
The cost for processing longer translations will depend on the length and complexity of the text, particularly with regard to commercial requests.
It is important to give us the context for the word, phrase, or passage that you require, as this will help us find the best translation for you.
We use the expertise of several translators and work with Coonceil ny Gaelgey (Manx Language Advisory Council), a committee of Culture Vannin.
We reserve the right to refuse a translation request if it is not practical for us to provide it within the timeframe given, or if resources are not available.
Disclaimer: Please note that Culture Vannin cannot provide translations for text that could be considered offensive.
Our free translation service supports Isle of Man Government Departments and Local Authorities in line with the 1985 Select Committee Report on the Greater Use of Manx, and the Isle of Man’s commitment to the Council of Europe Charter for Regional or Minority Languages.
You can contact us with translation requests by emailing translations(at)culturevannin.im or by filling out the form below.
