Tajik Interpreting in Tbilisi and Tajik Localization for Tajik Students, Families, Engineers and Partners

Tajik interpreter at the notary, the university and the migration office

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. Tajik parents signing sponsor declarations and consents for their student children, Tajik students signing lease agreements and powers of attorney, Tajik buyers of apartments, Tajik founders of Georgian companies and Tajik-Georgian couples signing marriage contracts use our notary at Agmashenebeli 117 with the interpreter built into the appointment: you receive the bilingual Georgian-Tajik (or Georgian-Russian) draft in advance, the interpreter reads each clause with you at the signing, and the notary certifies the act in one sitting. Most Tajik clients are comfortable in Russian, and our interpreters switch as the client prefers; native Tajik speakers are assigned for parents and official delegations. We accompany students and families to university admission and dean's offices, to the Public Service Development Agency for residence permits, to banks, clinics, the police and the Revenue Service, and we interpret at the House of Justice for marriage registration.

Hydropower, energy and donor projects

Tajikistan and Georgia are hydropower countries with the same institutions around them - the World Bank, the ADB, the EBRD, the EU, USAID and bilateral donors funding dam safety, grid modernization, energy trading (CASA-1000 on the Tajik side, the Black Sea and Caucasus interconnections on the Georgian side), tariff reform and regulatory capacity - and Tajik and Georgian officials, engineers and consultants meet in study visits, workshops, regional conferences and project missions. We provide consecutive interpreters for site visits to Enguri, Zhinvali and the smaller plants, for workshops with the Georgian energy regulator and the grid operator, for project missions and negotiations, and simultaneous interpreting with booth equipment for regional energy and water conferences, including Georgian-Tajik-Russian-English configurations and remote interpreting by video, with interpreters who know the vocabulary of hydropower, grids and donor project management in Tajik and Russian.

Government delegations, business and mining

Tajik government delegations - from the ministries of foreign affairs, energy and water resources, education and science, health, industry and transport, and the Migration Service - meet Georgian counterparts on transit, energy, education and consular matters, and Tajik businesses in cotton and textiles, dried fruit and food, aluminum and mining, and construction negotiate with Georgian partners, while Georgian construction, engineering, consulting and IT companies pursue Tajik projects and tenders. We provide consecutive interpreters for official meetings with the protocol Tajik delegations expect, for business negotiations and site visits, and for tender clarification meetings, and simultaneous interpreting for conferences and forums.

Students, families and medical interpreting

The Tajik student community generates a constant need for interpreting outside business: parents visiting for enrollment or graduation who speak only Tajik, students in their first months before their Russian, English or Georgian is ready for a hospital or a police station, family matters, landlord disputes and medical consultations. We offer hourly accompaniment in Tbilisi for these matters and interpret at clinics with the vocabulary of medicine in Tajik and Russian. Tajik patients who come to Georgian clinics for treatment use the same service, and our Persian team supports Tajik clients whose documents or family connections run through Iran or Afghanistan.

Tajik localization: recruiting students and reaching Tajik audiences

Georgian universities compete for Tajik students, and the families who choose a university read Tajik and Russian, not English; admission pages, program descriptions, fee schedules, agent materials, video subtitles and social media content written in good Tajik - and in Russian for the many families who prefer it - reach them where English does not. We localize university websites and brochures, agent agreements and student guides, and the pre-departure information that reduces the document problems described elsewhere on this site, with native Tajik editors who know the education vocabulary Tajik families use and Russian editors for the parallel version. Georgian exporters of wine, mineral water and food to Tajikistan, Georgian companies with Tajik projects, and donor programs producing materials for Tajik audiences use the same team for websites, labels, training materials and correspondence, working directly in your CMS, in JSON and XLIFF files or in design files, with Tajik Cyrillic's specific letters (ғ, ӣ, қ, ӯ, ҳ, ҷ) handled correctly in every font and platform.

Proofreading and booking

Georgian universities, companies and project teams write Tajik and Russian for Tajik partners, ministries and families. Native Tajik editors polish Tajik text so it reads as if written in Dushanbe, correcting the izafet constructions, verb forms and formal register Tajik official correspondence uses, and our Russian editors do the same for Russian, returning tracked changes so your team learns from every edit. For organizations producing Tajik content continuously we offer a monthly editing retainer.

To book an interpreter, send the date, place or meeting link, the subject, whether Tajik or Russian is preferred 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; site and regional work is billed by day with travel at cost; simultaneous work is billed by half-day or day with two interpreters alternating. Russian-speaking interpreters are available at short notice; native Tajik interpreters for delegations and parents should be booked a few days ahead.
