First of all, our sincere apology:
E kala mai!
Sorry! Pardon (us)! Excuse (us)!

At this time, we do not provide translation services, mainly due to time constraints, as we lead busy working lives. Our time and energy resources, like yours, are finite.

These web pages are our hana punahele a ho`onanea (hobby, avocation).

Attending to the scores of requests and the research necessary to obtain accurate translations can be painstakingly time-consuming, and doing so would grind the on-going maintenance and development of the hawaiianlanguage.com web site to a halt.

One day, when retired and better versed, we may be more inclined to take on such a daunting challenge. But for now...`a`ole hiki ("no can", not possible). E kala mai!

We have, however, prepared a sequence of research steps to help you obtain your translation/s… or click here for a translation by a bona fide expert:

  1. For names, check here: The Hawaiian Home Page: Names.
  2. Check these Online Dictionaries:
  1. Check the hawaiianlanguage.com SEARCH.
  2. Check the Hawaiian Language web site's Speak Hawaiian Like a Local ;- ) or The First 101 Words.
  3. Check the Hawaiian Language Table of Contents.
  4. Check the Hawaiian Language Word Lists.
  5. Consider obtaining your own resources. All proceeds go to the `Ahahui `Ôlelo Hawai`i.

___________________________

If the above steps do not yield your translation, then check with a bona fide expert at the `Ahahui `Ôlelo Hawai`i, a private, non-profit organization dedicated to the perpetuation of the Hawaiian language:

Would you please send the `Ahahui a generous contribution to the above address in return for their effort? Your donation is tax-deductible and supportive of a deserving, hardworking organization.
