The problem is that to do that, I need to be able to write a press
release in the target language.
I cannot, for example, write an article on Wikipedia in Manx.
I did however get a positive response from Brian Stowell (prominent
Mec Vannin activist) that gave me the impression he and/or other Manx
ultranationalists will soon turn gv: from dead to not-dead.

Did you try local newspapers which are published in these langauges?
Best would be to have an article (public domain is best for press releases)
and visit the editorial staff.
Make the press release a bit visionary, like "only (modern) encyclopedia
in language XXX)" or "wikipedia XXX can be used by anyone to print it
on paper".
