Translation by Industry and Document Type

Energy, infrastructure and construction

Hydropower, wind and solar developers, transmission operators, road, rail, port and pipeline contractors and building developers work with international lenders, foreign EPC contractors (Turkish, Chinese, Italian, German, Korean) and Georgian authorities at the same time, and their documentation runs in three languages for years. They send us employer's requirements, FIDIC contract schedules, tender packages and bid evaluations, design submissions, method statements, inspection and test plans, environmental and social impact assessments, permits and correspondence with ministries and municipalities, HSE documentation and monthly reports, and they need interpreters on site for supervision, commissioning and safety briefings. We run these as projects with a glossary, a translation memory and a dedicated team; see technical translation and interpretation.

Real estate developers and agencies in Tbilisi and Batumi selling to foreign buyers need project websites, brochures and listings in English, Russian, Arabic, Hebrew and Turkish, sale contracts in bilingual form for notarial signing, and interpreters at the notary and the Public Registry for foreign purchasers; buyers need their passports and powers of attorney translated into Georgian.

Tourism, hospitality, wine and agriculture

Hotels, guesthouses, tour operators, ski resorts, transfer companies and restaurants serving visitors from Europe, the Gulf, Israel, Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Turkey, India and China need websites, booking flows, menus, tour descriptions and guest communications localized with search terms in each market, and interpreters and guides for groups and events; see website localization. Wine producers and exporters of mineral water, hazelnuts, fruit, honey and tea need labels and back labels compliant with the destination market, product sheets, certificates of origin, quality and phytosanitary certificates, distribution contracts, catalogs and websites in Chinese, German, English, Polish, Japanese and other languages, and interpreters at trade fairs and buyer visits. Agricultural businesses working with Dutch, Israeli, Italian and German technology suppliers need manuals and training materials, and those receiving grants and loans need reports and applications in English.

Healthcare, pharmaceuticals and medical tourism

Hospitals and clinics in Tbilisi and Batumi treating patients from the Gulf, Iraq, Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Turkey and Western Europe need incoming medical records translated for their doctors, treatment plans and cost estimates translated for patients, websites and pre-operative and aftercare materials in Arabic, Russian, English and Turkish, and interpreters at consultations. Georgian patients traveling abroad need epicrises, imaging and laboratory reports in German, Turkish, Hebrew, Italian or English. Pharmaceutical companies need registration dossiers, SmPCs and package leaflets in Georgian; clinical trial sponsors and CROs need protocols and consent forms in Georgian and English; device importers need instructions for use in Georgian. Everything is handled by medical translators under strict confidentiality; see medical translation and medical certificates.

Banking, fintech, insurance, law and professional services

Banks, microfinance organizations, payment providers and fintech startups need financial statements and audit reports for foreign lenders and parents, regulatory correspondence with the National Bank of Georgia, loan and security documentation, compliance and KYC materials, customer terms and app interfaces in Georgian and English; see financial translation. Insurers need policies, claims files and medical reports. Law firms, audit firms and consultancies outsource client translation under their own confidentiality obligations: contracts, court and arbitration documents, corporate records, due diligence reports, tax correspondence and legal opinions, with notarization and apostille for registry and court use; see legal translation. Notaries and their clients need foreign documents translated into Georgian and interpreters at signings.

IT, telecoms, manufacturing and logistics

Software companies, telecom operators and Georgian outsourcing firms need interfaces, help systems, documentation, contracts and marketing localized between Georgian and English, and increasingly Russian, Turkish and German for regional customers, in the localization formats they use; see technical translation. Manufacturers and importers of machinery, vehicles, HVAC, elevators, building materials and consumer goods need manuals, safety data sheets, certificates of conformity and type approvals in Georgian for market compliance and in English, Russian, Turkish and Chinese for suppliers and export. Logistics and freight companies, customs brokers and shipping agents at Poti and Batumi need transport documents, customs declarations, contracts and correspondence in Turkish, Russian, Chinese, English and Azerbaijani, often within hours.

Education, NGOs, international organizations and the public sector

Universities and schools recruiting international students need admissions materials, regulations and course descriptions in English, and translations of applicants' documents from Arabic, Hindi, Persian, Turkish and other languages into Georgian; students and academics need diplomas, transcripts, articles and theses translated and edited; see diploma translation and editing. NGOs, think tanks, development projects, embassies and international organizations working in Georgia need reports, policy papers, research, grant applications, training materials and public communications in Georgian and English, and interpreters for workshops, conferences and field visits. Public bodies need legislation, regulations, official correspondence and public information translated, and interpreters for delegations and official meetings.

Whatever the sector, the entry point is the same: send the documents or describe the meeting, and we assign the right specialists. Regular senders in any industry work with us through a corporate account with fixed rates, a glossary and one contact.

How the industry changes the process, not just the vocabulary

Vocabulary is the obvious difference between sectors, but it is not the important one. Speed differs: a customs broker needs a transport document in an hour, a clinic needs a record before tomorrow's consultation, a developer needs a brochure next week, a publisher needs a book next spring. Certification differs: a registry submission needs notarization and an apostille, a lender needs a certified statement, a website needs neither, a regulator needs a signed statement of accuracy. Format differs: a manual lives in InDesign, a statement in Excel, an app in JSON, a contract in Word with tracked changes, a certificate on paper bound by a notary. Review differs: a safety manual is reviewed by an engineer, a consent form by a medical linguist, a headline by a native editor, a birth certificate by a data checker comparing every digit.

Languages differ too, and not always as expected. A hotel assumes it needs Arabic and discovers its Gulf guests book in English; a winery assumes English suffices and discovers its Chinese importer needs labels in Simplified Chinese with an approved brand transliteration; a construction contractor assumes English and discovers the site crew, the municipality and the inspector all need Georgian. When you tell us your industry, we are asking about all of these dimensions, and the answer shapes which translators, which review, which format and which turnaround you get. That is why an industry page exists on a translation site: not to list sectors, but to set the process before the first document arrives.

What to tell us about your industry

Tell us your sector, the languages your partners, customers, regulators and lenders work in, the document types you send most often and how urgent they usually are, and whether you need interpreters and where. Share existing glossaries, brand names and previous translations, and tell us whether documents typically need notarization or apostille. From that we propose the translators, the glossary and the working model that fit.
