Translation Help

If you are trying to display a webpage which is written in another language and the correct characters do not appear (often indicated by square boxes instead of the correct characters) then you need to update your web browser with the appropriate language support files.

If you are using Internet Explorer you need to go to View > Encoding > More and then select the language that you need. If support for this language is not already installed on your PC a box will appear asking you to download the relevant files from the Microsoft website. You should do this and they will normally install themselves on your PC although sometimes you may be asked to put your operating system CD in the CD drive as well. You may need to restart your PC.

If all is well the web page should now display with the correct character set.

Other Translation Services

Unfortunately the Council does not have the resources to manually translate its web pages from English into other languages that are not listed above. However, machine translation links will be provided as soon as services for these languages become available.

If you would like to speak to someone at the Council using a telephone, then you will be able to make use of the Telephone Interpretation service which the Council offers.
