Mapudungun translator

Ecrivus is a Mapudungun translation agency: we translate to and from Mapudungun, the language of the Mapuche people in Chile and Argentina. We pair you with a specialist who knows the Mapuche context, choose the right alphabet and dialect, and provide certified translation — a signed statement of accuracy — where an authority requires it.

Mapudungun has no single agreed standard spelling; the Alfabeto Mapuche Unificado, the Grafemario Raguileo and the Azümchefe alphabet compete. We establish which alphabet your source document is written in and hold to a single spelling consistently across the whole assignment.

Yes. The UK has no sworn-translator institute, so there is no "sworn translator" as a legal office here. For official acceptance we provide certified translation: a signed and dated statement of accuracy with our contact details. Where a body asks for more, this can be escalated to notarisation by a solicitor or notary public, or to an apostille or legalisation through the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO). Because Mapudungun documents are in practice often written in Spanish, certification frequently runs via Spanish. We confirm in the quote which level your receiving authority requires.

Yes. The central Nguluche serves as the reference variety, while the Pewenche of the Andean areas and the southern Huilliche diverge sharply. We establish the dialect origin of your document before pairing it with the right specialist, so the meaning is preserved rather than lost to a wrong assumption.

On working days you receive a quote within 1 hour. The lead time for the translation itself depends on document type, volume, alphabet and any required certification, and is confirmed in the quote. For tight deadlines we confirm a workable rush schedule up front rather than promising a fixed turnaround.

A Mapudungun translation agency takes the coordination off your hands. We assess whether your document is Mapudungun, Spanish or a mix, choose the right alphabet and dialect, arrange certification, notarisation or legalisation where an authority requires it, and have the work checked by a second reviewer. You keep one point of contact for alphabet choice, terminology, scheduling and delivery, all under a single quote. A skilled freelance translator does excellent work too; the difference an agency adds is bringing those moving parts together so you are not managing them separately.
