Georgian Translation Services — Georgian ⇄ German.

Georgian translation services deliver certified German ⇄ Georgian documents in the Mkhedruli alphabet, produced by sworn, court-authorised translators for authorities and courts here. Each translator's public appointment by a German Regional Court (Landgericht) means registry offices and immigration authorities accept the certification as valid. The ergative construction that has no parallel in German or English is rendered correctly, with trade texts for the South Caucasus in the same hand. Standard-line pricing starts from €1.09.

Short & clear

Certified Georgian translations by sworn, native-speaker translators.

Reviewed by specialists · FÜD editorial team · kept current

Georgian has its own alphabet, Mkhedruli — unrelated to Latin, Cyrillic or Greek and written without upper- and lower-case — and a grammar with an ergative (“narrative”) case and polypersonal verbs. Whether it is a birth certificate from საქართველო for a German registry office, a diploma for recognition, a contract in the South Caucasus, or documentation for an English-language project: the work is done by native Georgian specialists with a proven field.

We work in both directions and both pairings. Georgian ⇄ German is what German authorities, courts and local partners need — including certified translations and consistent name transliteration. Georgian ⇄ English covers international life and trade: applications, contracts and documentation that circulate in English.

Who it's for

Living in Germany, thinking in more than one language.

Most people who search for this in English are already fluent Georgian speakers dealing with a German system — or internationals who use English as the working language. Both are covered.

Georgian → German, for the authorities

Birth, marriage and name-change certificates, diplomas and police records for a registry office (Standesamt), the immigration office or recognition of qualifications. Issued in Mkhedruli, they need a certified German translation with the name transliterated to match your passport.

Georgian ⇄ English, for international life

Job applications, employment contracts, references and company documents that an employer, university or partner abroad expects in English rather than German. Same specialists, same care with the alphabet and terminology.

German → Georgian, for home

German certificates, contracts, powers of attorney and rulings that have to be presented to authorities, courts or family in Georgia — in correct Georgian, in the form that is valid there.

Business & the South Caucasus

Companies trading with Tbilisi, or teams that run in English while the paperwork is German or Georgian. We assign a specialist for the direction and field you actually need.

Language & script

One case script, an ergative subject, and verbs that carry several persons at once.

Georgian is written in Mkhedruli, its own alphabet, with no distinction between capitals and lower case (e.g. გიორგი = Giorgi). The consonant system distinguishes ejective from aspirated sounds — a contrast that carries meaning and is easily flattened. Consonant clusters can be long, which matters when text is set: broken across a line without care, a word turns into unreadable boxes.

Grammatically the outlier is the ergative (or “narrative”) case: in certain tenses the subject takes a special ending, so reading it as a plain nominative reverses who did what. Surnames commonly end in -შვილი or -ძე and must be transliterated consistently and matched to the passport. For official use an authorised translator issues a certified translation; whether an apostille is also needed we check in advance — it is issued by the competent authority, not by the translation agency.

Quality you only notice at the receiving end

What only a native Georgian specialist catches.

Georgian looks at first like “an exotic alphabet, otherwise ordinary” — and that is the trap: the ejectives, the ergative and the transliteration are its own. These pitfalls separate a native professional translation from one passed through, and they only surface at the receiving end.

Typical pitfalls in Georgian translation and how a specialist resolves them
PitfallWhy it goes wrongHow the FÜD solves it
Ergative read as nominativeIn the aorist the subject takes the ergative (-მა). Read as a plain subject, the sentence can reverse who acted on whom — critical in a statement or ruling.The ergative is recognised and rendered by its function, so agency and object stay correct.
Ejective vs. aspirated flattenedGeorgian distinguishes ejective from aspirated consonants; the difference is meaningful. Levelled, words and names shift.Native phonology is applied, so the right consonant — and the right romanisation — is chosen.
Surnames -შვილი/-ძე transliterated inconsistentlyThese endings can be romanised several ways. Vary them across documents and the name no longer matches from one paper to the next.One consistent transliteration is fixed and matched to the passport across all documents.
Mkhedruli “interpreted” with caseMkhedruli has no upper/lower case; inventing capitals to “mark” names misreads the script.We treat the script as unicameral and mark names by position and context, not by invented capitals.
National and ISO transliteration mixedGeorgia's national romanisation and scholarly ISO differ. Mixed, a single name appears in two spellings.One scheme is chosen per document and matched to the ID, not blended.
Consonant clusters broken in layoutLong clusters wrapped carelessly produce broken glyphs or tofu boxes in the final PDF.Typesetting keeps clusters intact, so the delivered document renders cleanly.
Archaic letters in old records skippedOlder or church documents contain historical letters no longer in use. Skipped, names and dates go missing.Historical letters are read and transcribed, so old certificates are rendered in full.

Why “an exotic alphabet, otherwise ordinary” won't do here

None of these is a simple spelling mistake — most survive any spell-check. They arise at the seam of a unique alphabet, an ergative grammar and competing transliterations, and they only surface at the receiving end: the registry office, the recognition body, the court. That is exactly where native professional translation earns its place.

The difference shows not in the text, but at the receiving end.

So: native speakers with a field, the right alphabet, and passport-matched transliteration.

Certification & recognition

“Notarised”, “authorised”, “certified” — what counts where.

Reviewed by specialists · FÜD editorial team · kept current

For submission to German authorities and courts, a court-authorised translator (in German, ermächtigter Übersetzer, publicly authorised under German state law) produces a certified translation with stamp, signature and certification note — recognised nationwide. In Georgia the parallel route runs through a translation certified before a notary; the systems are not identical.

We clarify before the project which country the document is for and set the form valid there — following FÜD's documented quality process; where the service is delivered under DIN EN ISO 17100, the required second-person revision is included. Georgia is a party to the Hague Apostille Convention, so where an apostille is required it is issued by the competent Georgian authority — the FÜD does not issue apostilles — and we tell you in advance whether it is needed.

Use cases

Georgian to German translation: three typical cases from practice.

Alphabet, target country and transliteration decide terminology and form of certification. Three common jobs — from the starting point to the result.

Registry office & family

Birth & marriage certificate Georgian → German

Starting point
For a marriage or naturalisation, a Georgian civil-status certificate is needed in German — issued in Mkhedruli, with the name in its own letters.
Process
An authorised translator renders the certificate, transliterates the name consistently and matches it to the passport; the certification note makes it ready for the authority.
Result
A certified translation the registry office accepts, its name spelling identical to the ID — no follow-up query.

Careers in English

Diploma & CV Georgian → English

Starting point
A professional from Georgia applies to an international employer or programme in Germany that works in English, and needs a diploma, references and CV rendered accurately.
Process
Degrees, subjects and titles stay in the original with an explanatory equivalent; names are transliterated consistently; terminology is handled by a specialist in the field.
Result
Documents an English-speaking employer can place correctly — without misrepresenting a foreign qualification.

Law & trade

Contract & power of attorney German → Georgian

Starting point
A German company signs a contract with a partner in Tbilisi; legal form, deadlines and terminology must be precise in Georgian.
Process
Legal terms stay demonstrable, the ergative and verb agreement are set correctly; a legal specialist checks the terminology.
Result
A contract that is legally readable without replacing German legal institutions with foreign ones.

FAQ

Georgian translation – frequently asked questions.

Do you translate both Georgian to German and Georgian to English?

Yes. Georgian ⇄ German is the usual pairing for German authorities, courts and business partners; Georgian ⇄ English covers international contexts – applications, contracts and documentation exchanged in English. A native-speaker specialist is assigned to each direction.

How do you write Georgian names — by passport or by transliteration?

We transliterate from Mkhedruli consistently and match the result to your passport (e.g. surnames in -შვილი / -ძე). One spelling is used across all your documents so nothing diverges from the ID.

What is the ergative and why does it matter?

In certain tenses the Georgian subject takes a special ergative ending. Read as an ordinary subject, a sentence can reverse who did what — so in a statement or ruling the ergative has to be recognised and rendered correctly.

Can you read old or church documents with historical letters?

Yes. Older and church documents use archaic Georgian letters no longer in everyday use. Our native specialists read and transcribe them, so old certificates are rendered in full.

Can you provide a certified Georgian translation recognised in Germany?

Yes. For certificates, diplomas and official documents an authorised translator (ermächtigter Übersetzer, authorised by a German court under state law) issues a certified translation with a certification note, recognised by German authorities and courts nationwide. Georgia is a party to the Hague Apostille Convention; the apostille is issued by the competent authority, not the FÜD.

What does a Georgian translation cost?

The price depends on volume, field, direction and deadline. After a brief review we name a binding fixed price; standard certificates are usually a flat fee per document, from € 1.09 per standard line.
My Georgian diploma was transliterated with my surname spelled exactly as in my passport, and the church-era certificate with its old letters was read without a gap. Both certified translations were accepted first time.

Work with us

Already a native Georgian speaker? Become an authorised translator.

Our Georgian translations are produced by native-speaker specialists — the reason German authorities, universities and courts accept them without queries. Beyond the language itself, that rests on German at C2 level, a specialist field the translator can defend, and — for certified work — court authorisation. If you bring that combination rather than bilingualism alone, we work with Georgian translators employed and freelance, and the way in is also open through an internship.

The path

German to C2, plus a field

Native Georgian is your starting capital; the market rewards what you build on top. German at C2 — the level at which you read a German ruling or medical report without hesitation — is the real gate, because certified work means rendering official German with precision, not just understanding it. Add a field you can defend (law, medicine, technology, finance) and its terminology. That combination, not language alone, is what a registry office or a Tbilisi court actually relies on.

Why it holds up

Authorisation, and the expertise behind it

For certified translations you apply to the competent Regional Court (Landgericht) to be authorised under state law. And Georgian is exacting, specialist work: a language isolate in a unique alphabet, rarely seen outside specialist hands, with an ergative grammar and passport-exact transliteration that has to be right the first time. Careful human work here is what the receiving authority requires.
