Portuguese-Georgian Translation Services in Tbilisi - Portugal, Brazil and the Portuguese-Speaking World

Portuguese and Georgian: Portugal's Georgian community, Brazil and Lusophone Africa

Portugal has quietly become one of the largest Georgian destinations in Europe. Georgians went there in tens of thousands in the late 2010s and early 2020s, first under the manifestação de interesse route (closed in 2024) and now through work visas, the CPLP-adjacent and general residence routes handled by AIMA (the Agência para a Integração, Migrações e Asilo, which replaced SEF in 2023), and family reunification; they work in agriculture in Alentejo and Odemira, in construction, hospitality, logistics and care in Lisbon, Porto and the Algarve, and increasingly in IT and services. Georgian students attend Portuguese universities and polytechnics, Georgian wine sells in Lisbon's restaurants and Portuguese tourists discover Georgia. Brazil, with an embassy in Tbilisi and a Georgian honorary consulate network, sends business visitors, evangelical missionaries, jiu-jitsu and football professionals and tourists to Georgia and receives Georgian students and wine. Angola and Mozambique trade with Georgia in goods and send students on scholarships and businesspeople in energy and construction.

Each Portuguese-speaking country certifies translations differently. Portugal has no sworn translator; a tradução certificada is a translation whose translator's declaration is certified by a notary, a lawyer, a solicitador, a Câmara de Comercio or a consulate. Brazil has the tradutor público e intérprete comercial (tradutor juramentado) registered with a state Junta Comercial, whose tradução juramentada is the only translation with legal effect there. Angola and Mozambique are not Hague members and require consular legalization. Georgia has the notarized translation. Our Portuguese team at David Agmashenebeli Ave 117 - Georgian sworn translators with Portuguese and Brazilian training, native editors in both variants and partners in Lisbon and São Paulo - navigates all of them.

We translate into European Portuguese for Portugal and Lusophone Africa and into Brazilian Portuguese for Brazil, with distinct editors for each - the vocabulary of civil registry, education and law differs (registo/registro, licenciatura/graduação, cartão de cidadão/RG) - and we transliterate Portuguese names into Georgian by consistent rules aligned with the passport, handling nasal vowels, ç, lh and nh uniformly.
