Catalan Interpreting in Tbilisi and Catalan Localization for Catalonia and Andorra

Catalan interpreter at the notary and for property and company matters

Georgian law requires an interpreter for any party to a notarial act who does not speak Georgian, and the notary records the interpreter in the deed. Catalan and Andorran buyers of apartments in Tbilisi and Batumi, founders of Georgian companies, and parties to poders, wills and marriage contracts use our notary at Agmashenebeli 117 with the interpreter built into the appointment: you receive the bilingual Georgian-Catalan draft in advance, the interpreter reads each clause with you at the signing, and the notary certifies the act in one sitting. Where a native Catalan interpreter is not available on short notice, Spanish serves nearly all Catalan clients with their agreement, and Catalan by video is available. Georgians in Barcelona who need a poder for a Georgian matter use our interpreter by video for the drafting stage and sign before a Catalan notary or the Georgian consulate, and we translate the result. We also accompany clients to the Public Registry, to banks and to the House of Justice, and we translate the Public Registry extract and cadastral plan into Catalan for the client's bank or advocat at home.

Business, technology and Andorran clients

Catalonia is Spain's industrial and technological heartland, and Catalan companies in automotive components, chemicals and pharmaceuticals, food processing, textiles, logistics and software have Georgian partners, suppliers and, increasingly, Georgian development teams; Barcelona's startup scene hires Georgian engineers, and Catalan wine and cava producers exchange knowledge with Georgian wineries. Andorran family offices, banks and wealth managers have clients with Georgian interests, and Andorran residents invest in Georgian property. We provide consecutive interpreters for negotiations, factory and vineyard visits, due diligence meetings, bank compliance interviews and trade fairs, and simultaneous interpreting with booth equipment for conferences, including Georgian-Catalan-Spanish-English configurations and remote simultaneous interpreting through Zoom. Our business interpreters are comfortable switching between Catalan and Spanish in the same meeting, which Catalan delegations do constantly.

Tourism, football, medical and personal interpreting

Catalan and Valencian travelers come to Georgia for wine, mountains and Tbilisi, and Georgians in Catalonia bring family and friends to visit; we supply Catalan-speaking guides-interpreters for tours, for wine and food experiences in Kakheti and for cultural events, and interpreters for Catalan tour operators negotiating with Georgian hotels and DMCs. Football connects the two - Georgian players in Catalan and Valencian clubs, Georgian youth academies working with Catalan methodology, Barcelona's coaching culture in Georgian clubs - and we interpret at contract signings, medical examinations, federation hearings and training courses. Catalan residents use Georgian clinics, and an interpreter at the consultation, followed by translation of the records into Catalan for the metge de capçalera and CatSalut, is a frequent request. For personal matters - school enrollment, landlord negotiations, utilities, telecom operators - we offer hourly accompaniment in Tbilisi.

Catalan localization: why Catalan, not just Spanish

Catalan is spoken by around ten million people in Catalonia, the Valencian Community, the Balearic Islands, Andorra, the Aragonese strip, French Roussillon and Alghero, and in Catalonia the law gives consumers the right to be served in Catalan and requires product labeling, signage and customer information to be available in it; the .cat domain and Catalan-first websites are the norm for institutions and many companies, and Catalan consumers respond to brands that address them in their language rather than defaulting to Spanish. Georgian wineries selling to Barcelona's restaurants and wine shops - a sophisticated market that discovered qvevri wine early - need tasting notes, technical sheets and producer stories in Catalan alongside Spanish; Georgian tourism businesses courting Catalan travelers need Catalan pages; and Georgian software companies with Catalan clients need Catalan interfaces. We localize websites and booking engines, guesthouse and tour listings, real estate pages, restaurant menus, mobile apps and e-commerce stores into Catalan, working directly in your CMS, in JSON and XLIFF files or in design files, adapting tone, currency and date formats, writing meta titles that match Catalan search behavior, and testing the result on the live site with native Catalan editors doing the final pass.

Valencian, Balearic and Andorran conventions

Catalan has regional standards that matter for official and commercial texts. The Valencian Community uses the Valencian standard of the Acadèmia Valenciana de la Llengua, with distinct verb forms, vocabulary and orthographic preferences, and Valencian institutions expect it; the Balearic Islands use the Institut d'Estudis Catalans standard with island-specific usage; Andorra follows the IEC standard with its own administrative vocabulary. Our editors produce Catalan in the standard the destination expects - Valencian for the Generalitat Valenciana and Valencian universities and clients, IEC Catalan for Catalonia, the Balearics and Andorra - and adapt commercial content accordingly. Georgian organizations writing Catalan for partners, universities and funding applications get native editing with tracked changes, and companies producing Catalan content continuously can use a monthly editing retainer.

Booking and billing

To book an interpreter, send the date, place or meeting link, the subject, whether the counterpart is from Catalonia, Valencia, the Balearics or Andorra, 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; regional trips to vineyards, factories and events in Kakheti, Imereti and Adjara are billed by day with travel at cost; simultaneous work is billed by half-day or day with two interpreters alternating. Native Catalan interpreters are a small pool in Georgia, so book conferences and delegation programs a week ahead where possible; Spanish on site and Catalan by video are available at shorter notice.
