Armenian Interpreting in Tbilisi and Armenian Localization for the Armenian Market

Armenian interpreter at the notary

Georgian notarial law requires an interpreter for any party who does not speak Georgian, and the notary records the interpreter in the deed. Armenian clients are often offered a Russian interpreter by default; we provide Armenian ones, which matters for accuracy on legal terms and for older clients from Javakheti or from Armenia who are more comfortable in Armenian. Because our office works with a licensed notary at Agmashenebeli 117, the interpreter is built into the appointment. The most common acts for Armenian clients are inheritance applications and certificates, powers of attorney to relatives in Armenia, apartment purchases in Tbilisi, marriage contracts, wills, and founding documents for LLCs and individual entrepreneurs. You receive the bilingual Georgian-Armenian draft before the appointment, the interpreter reads each clause with you at the signing, and the notary certifies the act in one sitting.

Embassy, Public Service Hall, banks, clinics and Javakheti

The Armenian Embassy in Tbilisi handles passports, citizenship registration for children, consular certificates and powers of attorney; its staff speak Armenian, but the Georgian documents presented there often need translation and an interpreter helps when Georgian officials are involved. The Public Service Hall serves clients in Georgian, Russian and some English, and interpreting support saves repeat visits for residence permit submissions, citizenship interviews, company registration, tax registration at the Revenue Service and property transactions at the Public Registry. Bank compliance interviews, school enrollment meetings and medical accompaniment at consultations, diagnostics and hospital admissions in Georgian clinics - with translation of the records afterwards - are frequent requests. For clients in Akhalkalaki, Ninotsminda and Akhaltsikhe, where many Georgian citizens speak Armenian as a first language, we provide remote interpreting by video for dealings with Tbilisi-based institutions.

Court interpreting and legal proceedings

Georgian courts provide interpreters in criminal cases, but in civil, family and commercial cases the parties bring their own. Inheritance disputes between relatives on both sides of the border, divorce and custody cases, property disputes in Tbilisi and Javakheti, landlord-tenant matters and commercial disputes involving Armenian-owned Georgian companies all require an interpreter who knows procedural language in both legal systems. We also interpret at police interviews, at the Public Service Development Agency's interviews for citizenship - a common procedure for Armenian citizens with Georgian roots - and at notary depositions, and we translate the case file so the client reads exactly what the court will read. For Armenian court proceedings joined remotely from Georgia, we interpret over video where the Armenian court permits.

Business interpreting: transit, logistics, IT, wine and conferences

Armenia's trade with the world moves through Georgia - through the Bagratashen-Sadakhlo crossing, the Upper Lars road to Russia and the ports of Poti and Batumi - and Armenian logistics, freight and trading companies deal constantly with Georgian customs brokers, port operators, insurers and partners. Armenian IT companies with offices in Tbilisi, Armenian wine and brandy producers selling in Georgia, and Georgian companies with Armenian distributors need consecutive interpreters for negotiations, audits and site visits, and simultaneous interpreting with equipment for conferences, trainings and regional events, where Georgian-Armenian-English and Georgian-Armenian-Russian configurations are routine. Remote simultaneous interpreting through Zoom serves online events between Yerevan and Tbilisi, and remote consecutive interpreting serves short meetings, including an Armenian founder joining a Georgian notary appointment by video under the e-Notary procedure.

Armenian localization for Georgian businesses

Two markets matter. The first is Armenia itself - three million people, a short drive away, who visit Georgia in large numbers for tourism, shopping, medical care and the Black Sea, and who buy Georgian wine, mineral water, food products and services; Armenian-language websites, menus, booking engines and clinic pages convert Armenian visitors far better than Russian ones. The second is the Armenian community in Georgia, particularly in Javakheti and Tbilisi, which appreciates Armenian-language information from businesses, banks and public services. We localize websites, booking engines, mobile apps, e-commerce catalogs, menus, real estate listings, medical tourism pages and social media content into Eastern Armenian, working directly in your CMS, in JSON and XLIFF files or in design files, adapting tone, currency and units, writing meta titles that match Armenian search behavior, and testing the result on the live site with native Armenian editors doing the final pass. Armenian script has its own typographic rules and font requirements, which we check in the rendered page.

Proofreading, Western Armenian, and booking

We proofread Armenian written by non-native speakers and Armenian produced by machine translation, returning tracked changes so your team learns the patterns, and we offer a monthly editing retainer for companies producing Armenian content continuously. For clients addressing the diaspora in Lebanon, Syria, the United States or France, we provide Western Armenian translation and editing through native speakers, since the two standards differ in orthography, vocabulary and grammar and a Western Armenian reader notices an Eastern text immediately.

To book an interpreter, send the date, place or meeting link, the subject and any documents to prepare from. Consecutive interpreting is billed hourly with a two-hour minimum on site in Tbilisi and no minimum beyond the first hour for remote sessions; simultaneous work is billed by half-day or day with two interpreters alternating; travel to Javakheti or to the Armenian border is billed at cost. Same-day bookings are usually possible during office hours.
