Translation & Localization

If you are living in Georgia, relocating to Tbilisi, applying for residency, preparing documents for migration, or handling official paperwork connected to Iran, you may need accurate and properly formatted Persian translations. 

Caulingo now offers professional Persian language translation services in Tbilisi, helping individuals and businesses translate documents quickly, correctly, and in a format accepted by official institutions.

Persian (Farsi) is widely used for personal documents, legal papers, and government certificates, and translation mistakes can easily lead to rejection or delays. That is why Caulingo focuses on high-quality Persian translations with attention to terminology, spelling of names, dates, and official formatting.

Caulingo provides Persian translation for passports and identity documents, including passport pages, visa stamps, national ID cards, and residence permits. We also translate official certificates such as birth certificates, marriage and divorce certificates, death certificates, education diplomas and academic transcripts, as well as medical certificates required for administrative or travel purposes.

For legal and administrative needs, Caulingo translates contracts and agreements such as employment contracts, rental and lease agreements, service contracts, and other legal documents. We also work with powers of attorney, court decisions, legal notices, police records, and other documents needed for government submissions or legal procedures.

Migration-related translation is another major field we cover. Caulingo supports clients preparing documents for visas, residency, immigration procedures, and relocation cases. This includes visa application documentation, migration forms, invitation letters, sponsorship letters, appointment documents, and supporting materials required by authorities or embassies.

In addition to personal and legal translations, Caulingo also works with business and corporate documentation. We translate company documents, licenses, permits, articles of association, commercial contracts, financial statements, and other corporate paperwork that may be required for cross-border cooperation or registration processes.

Many official institutions require translated documents to be certified and validated. For that reason, Caulingo also supports clients with notarization and apostille services in Tbilisi. Notarization is often required to confirm the authenticity of the translated document, while apostille legalization is necessary when documents are intended for use abroad in countries participating in the Hague Apostille Convention. This is especially common for certificates, diplomas, and legal documents used for migration, study, or employment purposes.

Caulingo aims to make the entire process simple: from translation to proper certification. Whether you need a single passport page translated or a full package of documents for migration or legal submission, our Persian translation services in Tbilisi are designed to meet official requirements and reduce unnecessary delays.

To request Persian translation services in Tbilisi, contact Caulingo with a scan or clear photo of your documents, and we will confirm the price, timeline, and whether notarization or apostille is needed for your case.

We are proud to announce that Caulingo is now officially certified under ISO 17100, ISO 9001 and ISO 18587, certified by BALTUM BUROO OU.

This is an important milestone for our team and our clients. These certifications confirm that Caulingo operates according to internationally recognized standards for translation quality, project management, continuous improvement, and post-editing of machine translation.

In a market where anyone can claim “high quality,” ISO certification provides something more valuable: verified proof.

What Does ISO Certification Mean in Translation?

ISO (International Organization for Standardization) standards are globally recognized frameworks that define how professional services should be delivered, documented, controlled, and improved.

For language services, ISO standards go beyond linguistic skill. They cover the full workflow from qualified translators and reviewers to consistent project management, traceable processes, risk control, documented quality assurance, and continuous improvement.

In short, ISO certification means quality is built into the system, not left to chance.

ISO 17100: The Translation Services Standard

ISO 17100 is the leading international standard specifically designed for professional translation services.

It requires a structured workflow that begins with ensuring translator competence through verified qualifications and professional experience. It also requires revision by a second qualified linguist. This is one of the most important distinctions between professional translation and low-cost translation services where texts may be delivered without proper revision.

ISO 17100 also sets expectations for project management and documentation. This includes understanding client requirements, managing terminology, applying quality checks, and maintaining traceability throughout the project.

For clients, ISO 17100 means your translations are produced through a controlled professional workflow every time, with quality assurance built into each stage.

ISO 9001: Quality Management and Continuous Improvement

ISO 9001 is the world’s most widely recognized standard for quality management systems. Unlike ISO 17100, which is translation-specific, ISO 9001 covers the organization as a whole and ensures that processes are repeatable, measurable, customer-focused, and continuously improved.

This standard confirms that Caulingo has a systematic approach to quality management. It supports reliable client communication, structured feedback handling, operational consistency, staff development, and corrective actions when improvements are needed.

For clients, ISO 9001 means you are working with a partner built for long-term reliability and stable delivery, not improvised processes.

ISO 18587: Post-Editing of Machine Translation (MTPE)

Machine translation is widely used today, but raw machine translation is not professional translation. ISO 18587 exists precisely to define how machine translation output should be professionally post-edited to reach a quality level suitable for real business use.

ISO 18587 sets requirements for qualified post-editors, clear specifications, defined quality expectations, and structured QA procedures. It also ensures that machine translation is used responsibly, only when suitable, and always with professional accountability.

For clients, this means that when MT is used, it is not a shortcut. It is a controlled process that combines speed and scalability with quality and responsibility.

Why Choosing a Certified Translation Partner Matters

Choosing a translation provider is not only about price. It is about risk.

Translation mistakes can lead to rejected documentation, compliance problems, contractual misunderstandings, reputational damage, and costly delays. This is especially critical in regulated industries and in multilingual projects where consistency and traceability are essential.

ISO certification reduces these risks because it verifies competence, enforces quality control, and requires documented processes. It also ensures consistency across projects and teams, and it creates accountability through clear roles and traceable decisions. Most importantly, it establishes a system of continuous improvement, meaning quality is not static but actively monitored and strengthened over time.

What This Means for Caulingo Clients

This certification strengthens what we already deliver every day: professional translation and localization, consistent terminology, secure workflows, reliable delivery timelines, and scalable multilingual operations.

It also confirms that Caulingo is a serious long-term partner for organizations that require regulated translation processes, enterprise-level quality assurance, compliance documentation, and structured MT post-editing.

A Thank You to Our Team and Clients

This achievement reflects the dedication of our project managers, linguists, reviewers, and operational staff.

We also want to thank our clients for trusting Caulingo with their content and allowing us to grow into a stronger, more structured and internationally verified language partner.

At Caulingo, we know that exceptional multilingual content starts with precision - combining expert translation with flawless visual presentation to captivate global audiences. Desktop Publishing (DTP) is the cornerstone of delivering polished, culturally aligned materials, especially when working with the Georgian language’s unique script and typography requirements.

Our Georgian DTP services, paired with professional translation, localization, UI/UX adaptation, and multilingual SEO, empower business leaders to achieve branding excellence and drive global expansion. Drawing on 2025 localization trends and insights from W3C and Typotheque, we’ve crafted essential DTP guidelines for Georgian to ensure your content shines in global markets while avoiding common pitfalls.

Why Georgian DTP Demands Specialized Expertise

The Georgian language, with its Mkhedruli script, presents unique challenges for multilingual DTP, as highlighted by W3C’s Georgian Gap Analysis and Typotheque’s typography insights. These challenges are critical to address for businesses expanding into new markets:

• Unique Script: Mkhedruli lacks traditional uppercase/lowercase distinctions. Instead, Mtavruli is used for titles or emphasis, which impacts layout design and brand consistency.
• Text Expansion: Georgian words are on average 20–30% longer than English, requiring careful adjustments in spacing and alignment.
• No Italics: Traditional Georgian typography avoids slanted fonts, so emphasis must be conveyed through bold, Mtavruli, or color.
• Font Compatibility: Non-Unicode fonts cause rendering problems across platforms, leading to broken characters and inconsistent branding.

These characteristics make specialized DTP expertise essential to ensure readability, cultural alignment, and a professional appearance in Georgian-language content.

Key DTP Guidelines for Georgian Localization Success

Our recommendations, informed by FONTS.GE, Google Fonts, and Rosetta Type Foundry, ensure flawless Georgian typography for localization projects:

• Select Unicode-Compatible Fonts: Use fonts like Noto Serif Georgian, Sylfaen, or BPG Nino Mtavruli Bold. Avoid outdated fonts such as AcadNusx.
• Avoid Italics: Use bold or Mtavruli for emphasis—italics look unnatural in Georgian.
• Use Mtavruli for Headings: Titles and emphasis should appear in Mtavruli, with Mkhedruli used for body text.
• Handle Text Expansion: Increase line spacing by 20–30% and avoid word-splitting across lines for better readability.
• Ensure Robust Encoding: Always embed Unicode-encoded fonts in tools like Adobe InDesign and test rendering across devices.
• Maintain Consistent Formatting: Apply Georgian conventions such as day.month.year (15.01.2025), commas for decimals (0,50), and standardized terms like „გაფრთხილება“ (Caution) for alerts.

Why Georgian DTP Matters for Your Brand

Poor DTP execution can derail even the best translation and localization efforts:

• Brand Reputation: Incorrect typography or broken characters signal unprofessionalism.
• User Experience: Poor spacing or unnatural word breaks reduce readability and engagement.
• Consistency: Non-standard fonts and formatting create inconsistencies across platforms.
• Cost Efficiency: Correcting mistakes later increases costs—getting it right the first time saves time and budget.

Industry studies show that consistent, culturally adapted design can boost customer trust by up to 30%, making professional Georgian DTP a strategic investment.

That’s why we specialize in creating custom Georgian translation style guides for major enterprises, ensuring your content is accurate, culturally aligned, and consistent with your brand’s global vision. 

In 2025, as AI reshapes the translation landscape, our tailored style guides and human expertise remain critical for seamless localization, preventing costly errors, cultural missteps, and inconsistencies. Drawing from the latest industry trends and insights from sources like Phrase and Blend, we’ll show why a custom Georgian style guide, paired with expert linguists, is a must-have for businesses expanding into new markets - and how Caulingo delivers results that elevate your brand.

Why Custom Georgian Translation Style Guides Are Vital in 2025

A custom translation style guide is more than a rulebook - it’s the foundation for professional localization services, ensuring your brand communicates with clarity and credibility across diverse markets. For enterprises, style guides are essential to avoid the pitfalls of inconsistent or inaccurate translations, which can erode trust and harm your reputation, as noted by Scriptis and Day Translations. Here’s why they’re indispensable:

• Ensure Brand Consistency and Voice: Style guides define your brand’s tone, terminology, and style in Georgian, ensuring every document - from marketing to technical manuals - feels authentic and aligned, as emphasized by Multilingual Connections.

• Prevent Errors and Cultural Missteps: Standardized rules for Georgian-specific conventions, like date formats (15.01.2025), no Oxford comma („ლურჯი, წითელი და შავი“), and terms like „გაფრთხილება“ (Caution), eliminate errors that confuse audiences.

• Optimize for Multilingual SEO: By incorporating keyword translation and localization best practices, style guides boost search engine visibility, aligning with 2025 trends like AI-driven localization noted in industry reports.

• Save Time and Costs: Clear guidelines streamline workflows, reducing revisions and accelerating project delivery, a benefit highlighted by Ulatus and MotaWord.

Without a style guide, businesses risk misaligned messaging or literal translations that fail to resonate, costing time, money, and customer trust.

The Role of Style Guides in AI-Assisted Translation

AI-powered translation tools are transforming the industry with speed and scalability, but they’re not foolproof. Common issues include incorrect punctuation (e.g., using English commas in Georgian), unnatural phrasing, or misformatted numbers ($0.50 instead of 0,50 $). A custom Georgian style guide acts as a guardrail, ensuring AI outputs meet linguistic and cultural standards. For example:

• Formatting Rules: En dashes for ranges (6–10 წელი), 24-hour time (15:00), and numerals for units (5 მმ).

• Terminology Standards: Consistent use of acronyms like „BIOS (BIOS-ის სისტემა)“ or alerts like „მნიშვნელოვანია“ (Important).

• Cultural Nuance: Guides ensure translations feel idiomatic, avoiding literal outputs that alienate readers.

As Blend notes, combining AI with human oversight and style guides creates translations that are both efficient and high-quality, making them essential for enterprise localization.

How Caulingo Crafts Custom Style Guides for Enterprises

At Caulingo, we know big clients need robust solutions for complex projects. Our collaborative process, aligned with best practices from Andovar and Interpro, involves dedicated teams of native Georgian linguists, project managers, and subject-matter experts to create and implement custom style guides. Our approach includes:

• Tailored Terminology Management: We build glossaries specific to your industry, ensuring terms are consistent across software UI, legal documents, and marketing content.

• Rigorous Quality Assurance: Multiple review cycles refine translations for fluency and cultural fit, perfect for high-stakes content.

• Client-Driven Customization: We partner with your team to incorporate brand preferences, ensuring your style guide reflects your unique voice.

In a recent enterprise project, we developed a Georgian style guide for a tech client, standardizing thousands of terms across documentation. The result? A cohesive, professional deliverable delivered ahead of schedule with zero inconsistencies.

Why Human Expertise Remains Irreplaceable

Even with AI’s advancements in 2025, human translators are critical for:

• Context and Culture: Humans capture tone, emotion, and cultural nuances that AI misses, ensuring translations resonate.

• Critical Thinking: Linguists resolve ambiguities in complex content, like software UI strings, that machines can’t handle.

• Brand Trust: Human-reviewed translations, guided by style guides, reflect professionalism, boosting credibility by up to 30%, as industry studies suggest.

AI accelerates workflows, but custom style guides and human expertise make translations meaningful and enterprise-ready.

Benefits of Partnering with Caulingo

Choosing Caulingo for your custom Georgian style guide and localization services delivers measurable value:

• Precision and Reliability: Error-free translations aligned with your brand, ready for global markets.

• Engagement and Clarity: User-friendly content (e.g., „აირჩიეთ დაწყება > მართვის პანელი“) enhances comprehension and SEO performance.

• Scalability for Enterprises: Streamlined processes for high-volume projects, from technical manuals to marketing campaigns.

• Professional Image: Consistent, culturally adapted translations build trust and strengthen your brand’s global presence.

In medical and clinical research documentation, the use of abbreviations is essential for clarity, brevity, and consistency. However, when translating medical texts into languages such as Georgian, Armenian, Azerbaijani languages of the Caucasus region, the treatment of abbreviations can present challenges. Often, translators face the dilemma of whether to expand all abbreviations or to maintain their original short forms. This post explores the issue of abbreviation usage in medical documentation, particularly in languages where short versions may not have direct equivalents.

The Challenge of Expanding Abbreviations

Abbreviations, such as "AE" (Adverse Event) or "IP" (Investigational Product), are a standard in Clinical Trial Protocols, Investigator's Brochures (IB), and other medical documents. While these abbreviations are widely understood in English and many other languages, some languages may not have equivalent short forms. In these cases, translation practices may differ. For example, while it’s common to expand abbreviations into their full terms in documents written in English, in some languages, this can lead to redundancy and a cluttered text that’s harder to read.

In Georgian, for example, medical terminology often does not have the same standard abbreviations as in English. Therefore, when translating an English text into Georgian, the abbreviations may need to be expanded every time they appear. However, this practice can make the document unnecessarily long and repetitive.

In Armenian, the medical field also uses certain abbreviations, but these terms may not be as widely understood in a condensed form. Thus, when translating medical documents like protocols or brochures, the need to expand abbreviations may arise. However, retaining the English abbreviation could be beneficial, especially for internationally recognized terms such as "AE" (Adverse Event) or "IP" (Investigational Product).

In Azerbaijani, like Georgian and Armenian, short forms might not always be equivalent to those in English, especially in specialized medical terms. Terms like "AE" and "IP" do not have direct Azerbaijani equivalents, and therefore, keeping these abbreviations intact may help maintain clarity and consistency in the document.

Why Abbreviations Often Stay in English

In many cases, abbreviations should remain in their original English forms, especially for terms like "AE" (Adverse Event) or "IP" (Investigational Product), which are universally recognized in the medical and clinical research fields. This is particularly important in languages where short versions of terms are not commonly used. For example, in Georgian, Armenian, and Azerbaijani, abbreviations like "AE" do not have standard translations, and expanding them every time could lead to confusion or impede readability.

By retaining the English abbreviations, the document maintains consistency and allows the reader to quickly recognize the terms without being overwhelmed by the expansion of every abbreviation. Additionally, maintaining these terms in their English form ensures that medical professionals, researchers, and stakeholders from various regions, including non-Georgian, non-Armenian, and non-Azerbaijani speakers, can still easily navigate and understand the content.

Professional Approach

It is important for medical documents such as Clinical Trial Protocols and Investigator’s Brochures to adhere to international best practices for abbreviation usage. The International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) and Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines recommend defining abbreviations upon their first mention and using the abbreviated form thereafter. Expanding abbreviations repeatedly in languages where short forms are not customary can lead to a loss of document clarity and professionalism.

Thus, in translating medical texts into languages like Georgian, Armenian, and Azerbaijani, it is recommended to:

• Define the abbreviation once in the document at first mention, followed by the abbreviation in parentheses (e.g., "Adverse Event (AE)").
• Use the abbreviation consistently throughout the rest of the text.
• Avoid over-expanding abbreviations that are already well-recognized in the medical community, particularly those that have become universal such as "AE" and "IP."
• Consider including a list of abbreviations at the beginning or end of the document to provide further clarification.

Examples in Georgian, Armenian, and Azerbaijani:

1. Georgian (ქართული)

• Adverse Event (AE): "გართულება (AE)"
• Investigational Product (IP): "კვლევის პროდუქტი (IP)"
• Clinical Trial Protocol (CTP): "კლინიკური კვლევის პროტოკოლი (CTP)"

2. Armenian (Հայերեն)

• Adverse Event (AE): "Վնասակար դեպք (AE)"
• Investigational Product (IP): "Բարեգործական ապրանք (IP)"
• Clinical Trial Protocol (CTP): "Քլինիկական փորձարկման արձանագրություն (CTP)"

3. Azerbaijani (Azərbaycan)

• Adverse Event (AE): "Zərərli Hadisə (AE)"
• Investigational Product (IP): "Tədqiqat Məhsulu (IP)"
• Clinical Trial Protocol (CTP): "Klinik Sınaq Protokolu (CTP)"

Conclusion

The over-expansion of abbreviations in medical documents can lead to redundancy and significantly reduce the readability and flow of the text. In languages like Georgian, Armenian, and Azerbaijani, where short forms may not be commonly used or directly translatable, retaining the original English abbreviations ensures clarity, consistency, and efficiency. It also aligns with international guidelines for abbreviation use, which are essential for producing professional, high-quality, and globally comprehensible medical documentation.
