A translation bureau for Rustavi - TARGMANEBI's service for a city half an hour from Tbilisi that nonetheless lives an entirely independent economic life. We have two large groups of clients here: companies needing regular, often bulky and often urgent translation, and private individuals with a diploma, a certificate or a contract to translate. Our remote scheme works the same for both. A photo or a file arrives, the price and the deadline come back within working hours, and the finished document goes out by email or by courier. The courier to Rustavi runs a daily route, which effectively puts this city on Tbilisi's schedule as far as we are concerned.
Plants, production, technical documentation
Documentation for an industrial plant is the bulkiest and the most demanding work there is - here a terminological error turns into a production stoppage or a safety risk. The most frequent groups:
Equipment and technology
- Operating and installation manuals for machinery
- Technological regulations and production instructions
- Automation and software descriptions
- Technical safety rules and briefings
- Spare part nomenclature and orders
Quality and certification
- Quality management system documents and audit reports
- Laboratory test protocols and standards
- Declarations of conformity for products
- Safety data sheets for chemical substances
- Environmental permits and reporting
Commerce and tenders
- Tender proposals and qualification documents
- Supply and service contracts
- Company extracts and financial reporting
- Powers of attorney and corporate resolutions
- Claims, correspondence and settlement protocols
A large technical project is assembled here on one scheme: the terminology base first, then the translation, then editing and a consistency check. If a document needs several weeks, we deliver it in parts so that your production process does not wait. Companies frequently ask us to split the work into two regimes - urgent operational texts and planned bulk documentation; that kind of arrangement steadies both the budget and the deadlines.
Foreign employees and labour matters
Foreign specialists work frequently in Rustavi's plants - engineers, technologists, representatives of equipment suppliers, managers. The package needed to employ them usually contains a passport, a diploma and qualification documents, a certificate of work experience, a criminal record certificate and medical documents - all in Georgian, notarized and often with an apostille affixed in their own country. In the other direction we translate the employment contract, the internal regulations, the safety instructions and the job description into the language the employee actually reads. That is not a formality: if a worker cannot read a safety rule, they cannot follow it either. Residence permit cases frequently add family members' documents - a marriage certificate, children's birth certificates and school papers.
The car market and export
The Rustavi car market is an event on a regional scale: buyers come from Armenia, Azerbaijan, Central Asia and further afield. There is always paper around a deal - the technical passport and the certificate of origin, the sale contract, the export declaration, insurance, transport documents, sometimes leasing or bank certificates. Two things are decisive in these texts: the accuracy of the identification number and the match between the buyer's details and their passport. We compare the numbers with the original twice and use the passport spelling of names. It happens often that the buyer is not present and a relative or representative closes the deal - then a power of attorney translation is added, and if that power of attorney was issued abroad we check whether it carries an apostille. Same-day work is an ordinary request here, and we work at that pace.
Private clients - diplomas, visas, court
Alongside the companies there are many private orders in Rustavi, and the list barely changes from year to year. Students prepare diplomas and school certificates for foreign universities, workers get certificates for a work visa, families get certificates for an embassy or consulate, and people approaching retirement bring old Soviet employment records to prove their service. Court cases form a separate group, where a decision handed down abroad - on divorce, maintenance or the division of property - has to be submitted in Georgian, or the reverse, a Georgian decision going to a foreign authority. In such texts the formulation and the exactness of a term are decisive, because in a court document every word carries a legal consequence. So these go to a translator working in the legal direction, and party names and case numbers are checked separately.
Interpreting is a separate request: in Rustavi it is most often needed when a deal is executed before a notary, at a meeting with a supplier's specialists at a plant, or in court and investigative proceedings where a participant does not speak Georgian. Tell us a few days in advance and the interpreter will be on site at the appointed time; material supplied beforehand, even a short description of the subject and the terms involved, improves the result sharply. For short negotiations a phone or video connection is often enough, and that is both faster and cheaper.
Languages in orders from Rustavi
In Rustavi Russian and English lead almost equally - the first in regional trade and the car market, the second in technical and tender documentation. Turkish is the language of construction and trading companies, Chinese of equipment and suppliers, German of technology and cars, Ukrainian of regional partners and family documents. We also work in Arabic, Italian, French, Spanish, Polish, Czech, Greek and Dutch; for a document in Azerbaijani, call us first.
Process and deadlines
Order in any form
A photo by WhatsApp to 501 113 200, a file to info@targmanebi.ge, or a phone call if what you need so far is advice.
Assessment and regime
We look at the volume and tell you the price and the deadline, and whether an urgent regime is possible and on what terms.
A specialist team
A technical text goes to a translator who knows engineering, a legal one to a lawyer's translator, a medical one to medicine; the editor checks the figures and names at the end.
Delivery to Rustavi
The file as soon as it is finished, paper by courier on the daily route, or at the Tbilisi office if you are coming in anyway.
Price, confidentiality, responsibility
The tariff for Rustavi is the Tbilisi one and the courier runs daily. A one-page certificate or a vehicle document is prepared the same day, a notarized package in two days, an employment package for a foreign employee in three, tender documentation on a schedule fitted to the tender deadline, a technical manual with delivery in parts, and an apostille on the timing of the procedure itself. Urgent orders are possible and their terms are stated in advance so that nothing comes as a surprise. A company's financial data, technological descriptions and tender prices are commercial secrets as far as we are concerned; on large projects we sign a confidentiality agreement. The bureau brand is owned by the sole trader Mariam Zumadze (ID 30601010853), a lawyer - which is exactly why we treat the wording of contracts, powers of attorney and tender texts with particular care. If an error in a translation is confirmed as ours, the correction is made at no extra charge.

Call: 501 113 200Frequently asked questions - translation in Rustavi
We are bidding in a tender and the documentation is large. Can you meet the deadline?
In a case like that we split the work between several translators working from one shared terminology base, and an editor gives the whole text its consistency at the end. Tell us the exact tender deadline - we will build the schedule around it and hand over the parts as they are ready.
We have hired a foreign specialist. His diploma carries an apostille - is that enough?
An apostille confirms that the document is genuine, but to submit it in Georgia you also need a Georgian translation with notarization, including the text of the apostille itself. The same package normally holds the passport, the experience certificate and medical documents.
I am selling a car to a foreign buyer and the documents are needed today.
The vehicle's technical passport, the sale contract and the accompanying certificates are done within working hours. We compare the identification number with the original twice and write the buyer's name exactly as the passport spells it - those are the two points where registration in the receiving country tends to stall.
We have safety data sheets for chemical substances. Do you translate those?
Yes - safety data sheets are translated in their standard structure, where the order of the sections and the mandatory phrasing have to be reproduced exactly. That kind of material is handled by an experienced technical translator.
Our accounting department prefers a monthly invoice to separate payments.
That is exactly how we work with regular corporate clients: agreed rates, orders through the month, and one official invoice at the end of it covering everything together. We sign a contract as well if your internal rules require one.
What do I do about a document in Azerbaijani?
Call us or send a photo and we will tell you in advance what is possible and how long it takes. Such documents often also have a Russian version or a bilingual form, which simplifies the process.
