Please accept https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-l10n-gv as the translation managing team for Manx

Hi,

Having followed the procedure on starting a team and the requirements,
I'm happy to appoint the Ubuntu Manx translators team as responsible for
Manx translations in Ubuntu.

Please see the inline comments below:

I would still encourage you to start working on the guidelines as soon
as possible. Even if there aren't any other new members for quite some
time, it will be helpful to have them to start translating consistently.

Launchpad offers you a unified online translation interface for all
translatable applications in Ubuntu, but it is still important to send
back contributions upstream, so that other distros can benefit from them
as well.

If there isn't an upstream team for a particular project, you might want
to create one. You can do this straight away or after having reached
some more translated content in Launchpad, which you could export
upstream.

You'll find more info here:

And as the final step, could you look into the points in the "After the
team has been accepted" section on
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Translations/KnowledgeBase/StartingTeam?

Welcome to Ubuntu Translations!
