Ukrainian Interpreting in Tbilisi and Ukrainian Localization for Georgian Businesses

Ukrainian 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. Many Ukrainian clients are offered a Russian interpreter by default; we provide Ukrainian ones, which matters both for comfort and for accuracy on legal terms that differ between the two languages. Because our office works with a licensed notary at Agmashenebeli 117, the interpreter is built into the appointment. The most common acts for Ukrainian clients are довіреності to relatives in Ukraine, apartment purchases and long-term leases in Tbilisi and Batumi, marriage contracts, wills covering Georgian property, and founding documents for LLCs and individual entrepreneurs. You receive the bilingual Georgian-Ukrainian 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, schools, banks and clinics

The Ukrainian Embassy in Tbilisi handles passports, citizenship registration for children, consular certificates and powers of attorney; its staff speak Ukrainian, but the Georgian documents presented there often need translation and an interpreter helps when Georgian officials are involved. The Public Service Hall serves many clients in Russian and some in English, but forms, receipts and decisions are in Georgian, and interpreting support saves repeat visits for residence permit submissions and biometrics, company registration, tax registration at the Revenue Service and property transactions at the Public Registry. School enrollment meetings, parent-teacher conferences and Ministry of Education recognition procedures are a large part of our Ukrainian interpreting work, as are bank compliance interviews. Medical accompaniment - at consultations, diagnostics and hospital admissions in Georgian clinics, with translation of the resulting records afterwards - is a separate service that Ukrainian families use heavily.

Court interpreting and legal proceedings

Georgian courts provide interpreters in criminal cases, but in civil, family and commercial cases the parties bring their own. Divorce and custody cases between Ukrainian spouses, or between a Ukrainian and a Georgian spouse, disputes with landlords, labor claims by relocated employees and commercial disputes involving Georgian companies with Ukrainian owners 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 and at notary depositions, and we translate the case file so the client reads exactly what the court will read. For Ukrainian court proceedings joined remotely from Georgia, we interpret over video where the Ukrainian court permits.

Business interpreting: IT companies, conferences and remote meetings

Ukrainian IT companies and product teams relocated to Georgia work in Ukrainian and English internally but deal with Georgian landlords, accountants, lawyers, the Revenue Service and banks in Georgian. We provide consecutive interpreters for those meetings and for negotiations with Georgian partners, and simultaneous interpreting with equipment for conferences, trainings and events; Georgian-Ukrainian-English three-way configurations are routine. Remote simultaneous interpreting through Zoom's language channels serves online conferences, and remote consecutive interpreting serves short meetings, including a Ukrainian founder joining a Georgian notary appointment by video under the e-Notary procedure. Interpreters prepare from your agenda and glossary in advance.

Ukrainian localization for Georgian businesses

Two markets matter here. The first is the Ukrainian community inside Georgia - tens of thousands of residents who prefer to read menus, real estate listings, clinic websites, school information and government-facing guides in Ukrainian rather than Russian, and who notice when a business makes the effort. The second is Ukraine itself, a market of over thirty million for Georgian wine, mineral water, tourism and software, with a strong preference for Ukrainian-language content since 2022 and legal requirements for Ukrainian on consumer-facing materials. We localize websites, booking engines, mobile apps, e-commerce catalogs, menus, real estate listings, medical tourism pages and social media content into Ukrainian, working directly in your CMS, in JSON and XLIFF files or in design files, adapting tone, currency, units and legal disclaimers, writing meta titles that match Ukrainian search behavior, and testing the result on the live site with native Ukrainian editors doing the final pass.

Proofreading, Russian-to-Ukrainian conversion, and booking

Many Georgian businesses have Russian-language content and want a Ukrainian version. A machine conversion is instantly recognizable and mildly offensive to Ukrainian readers; a proper localization by a native Ukrainian editor is not. We convert and edit websites, brochures, contracts, presentations, real estate listings and customer support scripts, and we proofread Ukrainian written by non-native speakers, returning tracked changes so your team learns the patterns. For companies producing Ukrainian content continuously we offer a monthly editing retainer with a fixed page allowance.

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. Same-day bookings are usually possible during office hours.
