Georgian translation services

Georgian translation is priced per word for text and per minute for audiovisual, depending on volume, subject matter and turnaround, with agreeing how capitals and headings are handled included as part of the brief rather than billed as an extra step. Send your files and we will come back with a free, itemised quote, backed by our Price Match Promise.

Yes. Native Georgian linguists handle every translation, and a second native linguist independently reviews each text, checking that no Latin-style capitalisation has slipped into the Georgian and that Mtavruli appears only where it was agreed.

Yes — Georgian translation, subtitling and voice over all come from one team, working to a single glossary throughout, so subtitles, on-screen titles and scripts follow the same convention for names and headings.

Not in the way English does. Modern Georgian is written in Mkhedruli, in lowercase only, with no capital at the start of a sentence or a name. It does have Mtavruli, capital-like letters used for whole words in headings or for emphasis, much as English uses ALL CAPS.

Sometimes, and that is exactly the risk. Mtavruli became separate Unicode characters only in 2018, many fonts do not include them, and uppercase and title-case settings can behave unexpectedly with Georgian. We agree at the brief whether headings go in Mtavruli and check that your font supports it before delivering them.

Yes — audiovisual is our specialisation. We deliver spotted SRT/VTT and timed two-column voice-over scripts, plus translated text when you need it.

Yes. Before Unicode 11, all-caps Georgian could only be produced with special fonts, so older files can hold headings that look capitalised in one font and plain in another. A native linguist checks what the characters actually are and tells you what needs updating before you reuse them.

For written work, no: standard literary Georgian is the form used in official and business communication, education and the media, and it is our default. The decision that changes a Georgian project is not the variety but how the text handles capitals, names and headings.

Most short documents are delivered within 24 to 48 hours. Word count, subject complexity and turnaround all move the date, and your project manager will confirm the timeline at the start.

Less than people expect: the document, script or subtitle file, its word count, what the text is actually for, and the date you need it by. A draft is fine — we would rather quote on what exists than wait for a final version that eats your deadline. A named project manager comes back with an itemised quote, normally within four working hours.

More than half of enquiries get a reply within thirty minutes during office hours (Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm UK time), and the itemised quote normally follows within four working hours. After that you have one dedicated project manager who owns the job from brief to final file — not a ticket queue, and not a different name on every email. If it is easier, call +44 207 095 5730 and ask for them by name.

Yes, and it is one of the commonest reasons people get in touch. Tell us it is for a pitch and you get a figure you can put in front of your own client, itemised so it stands up to being picked apart, with no obligation and no follow-up sales calls if the pitch goes elsewhere. If it lands, the quote still holds and we already know the project.
