Chinese Interpreting in Tbilisi and Chinese Localization for the Chinese Market

Chinese 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. Chinese buyers of apartments in Tbilisi and Batumi (Batumi's high-rises have a significant Chinese buyer segment), Chinese founders of Georgian companies, and parties to powers of attorney, wills, guarantees and marriage contracts use our notary at Agmashenebeli 117 with the interpreter built into the appointment: you receive the bilingual Georgian-Chinese draft in advance, the interpreter reads each clause with you at the signing, and the notary certifies the act in one sitting. We also accompany clients to the Public Registry, to banks (opening accounts for Chinese citizens and companies has become more document-intensive and an interpreter helps), to the Revenue Service and to the House of Justice, and we translate the Public Registry extract and cadastral plan into Chinese for the client's family or company at home.

Construction sites, contractors and infrastructure projects

Chinese state contractors and their subcontractors build highway sections, tunnels, bridges and other infrastructure across Georgia, employing Chinese engineers and managers alongside Georgian crews, and their work involves constant communication with the Roads Department, the Ministry of Regional Development, municipalities, Georgian subcontractors and suppliers, labor inspectors, customs and local communities. We provide consecutive interpreters for site meetings, inspections, safety briefings, negotiations with subcontractors, meetings with the employer's engineer and government agencies, labor inspection visits and community matters, in Tbilisi and at sites from Kvesheti to Kobuleti, billed by day with travel at cost; for long projects we place interpreters on site for weeks or months. Our interpreters for this sector know the vocabulary of road and tunnel construction, FIDIC contract administration and Georgian labor and customs procedures in both languages.

Trade, delegations, government and conferences

Chinese provincial and municipal delegations, ministry visits, chambers of commerce, Belt and Road forums and investment conferences bring Chinese officials and executives to Georgian ministries, the Georgian Chamber of Commerce, Enterprise Georgia and regional governments, and Chinese companies in energy, mining, logistics, telecommunications, automotive and consumer goods negotiate with Georgian partners; Georgian wineries, mineral water producers and hazelnut exporters host Chinese importers and travel to trade fairs in Chengdu, Shanghai and Guangzhou. We provide consecutive interpreters for negotiations, factory and vineyard visits, ministry meetings, tender clarifications and delegation programs, and simultaneous interpreting with booth equipment for conferences and government events, including Georgian-Chinese-English configurations and remote simultaneous interpreting through Zoom and Tencent Meeting. Our business interpreters distinguish Mandarin from Cantonese-speaking Hong Kong counterparts and handle the protocol of Chinese official meetings.

Tourism, medical and personal interpreting

Visa-free travel since 2024 has made Georgia a new destination for Chinese travelers, and Chinese tour operators, self-driving groups and independent travelers need Mandarin-speaking guides-interpreters for Tbilisi, Kazbegi, Kakheti wine tours and Svaneti, which we supply, along with interpreters for tour operator negotiations with Georgian hotels and transport companies. Chinese residents and visitors use Georgian clinics for dental work, diagnostics and treatment, and an interpreter at the consultation, followed by translation of the records into Chinese for the hospital or insurer at home, is a frequent request. For personal matters - school enrollment meetings, landlord negotiations, dealing with utilities, telecom operators and the Revenue Service - we offer hourly accompaniment in Tbilisi.

Chinese localization: wine, tourism, e-commerce and the Chinese internet

The Chinese market does not run on Google, Facebook or Instagram. It runs on WeChat official accounts and mini-programs, Xiaohongshu, Douyin, Weibo, Baidu search, Tmall and JD for e-commerce and Ctrip and Fliggy for travel, and content that works there is written for those platforms, not translated from a Western website. Georgian wineries selling to China - the largest export market for Georgian wine by volume in several recent years - need tasting notes, brand stories, technical sheets, back labels meeting Chinese labeling rules (the importer's details, the 中文标签 requirements) and importer training materials in Simplified Chinese written for Chinese consumers, who buy on story, provenance and gifting occasion; we produce them with native editors who know the wine trade's Chinese vocabulary. We localize tourism websites, WeChat official accounts, Xiaohongshu content, mini-programs, booking flows, guesthouse and tour listings, restaurant menus, mobile apps and e-commerce stores into Simplified Chinese (and Traditional for Hong Kong and Taiwan), working directly in your CMS, in JSON and XLIFF files or in design files, adapting tone, payment methods (WeChat Pay, Alipay), units and date formats, writing titles that match Baidu and Xiaohongshu search behavior, and testing the result on the live page.

Proofreading, technical content, and booking

Georgian organizations write Chinese for Chinese partners, tender submissions, Confucius Institute and university collaboration, and export correspondence; native Chinese editors polish that text so it reads as if written in Beijing, correcting measure words, register and the formal conventions of Chinese business correspondence, and return tracked changes so your team learns from every edit. For companies producing Chinese content continuously we offer a monthly editing retainer.

To book an interpreter, send the date, place or meeting link, the subject, whether the counterpart is mainland, Hong Kong or Taiwanese, 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; construction site and regional work is billed by day with travel at cost, with weekly and monthly rates for long placements; simultaneous work is billed by half-day or day with two interpreters alternating. Mandarin interpreters are available at short notice in Tbilisi; book conferences, long site placements and Cantonese a week ahead where possible.
