If you already have a contract and need a reliable price and delivery estimate, sending only the first page or a screenshot is rarely enough. A contract translation quote in Tbilisi depends on the complete volume, subject matter, file quality, language direction, formatting and the requirements of the person or organisation that will receive the translation.
The checklist below helps you send the right information in your first message and receive an estimate based on the actual document.
1. Send the final version of the contract
We need the complete file to assess the work. If the contract is still being negotiated, tell us that it is a working version. It is usually better to begin after the text is final, because clauses added or changed later must be compared and translated separately.
For an initial estimate, you may hide confidential details that do not affect length or complexity. The final working copy must still be complete and legible.
2. Include every annex, schedule and table
Annexes, specifications, price tables, statements of work and amendments may form part of the agreement. If they belong in the same assignment, send them from the start. This produces a realistic total and helps keep terminology consistent across the document set.
3. State the source and target languages
For example: Georgian to English, Russian to Georgian or Turkish to English. The language direction determines which specialist is required and whether that person is available. “English translation” alone does not always identify the source language.
4. Explain where and why the translation will be used
A contract may be intended for a business partner, bank, court, tender or another organisation. The recipient may set its own rules for format, certification or the spelling of names. Confirm those rules directly with the recipient and send us its written instructions when available.
Translation and notarisation are separate steps, and not every contract requires notarisation. If the recipient asks for a certified form, mention this before work begins and review our notarized translation service.
5. Provide the approved spelling of names and key terms
If personal names, company names, addresses or product terms already appear in official documents, provide the preferred spelling. A passport, company extract, previous approved translation or client glossary can prevent inconsistencies.
6. Choose the required file format
Tell us whether you need a reading PDF, an editable Word file or a bilingual layout. Recreating complex tables or design may require additional work. A clear PDF or editable source file makes assessment and translation more efficient.
7. Give a specific requested deadline
Include the date and, if relevant, the time. We confirm a delivery estimate only after reviewing the file, calculating the volume and checking the appropriate translator’s availability. Urgent work is also assessed individually.
How the price is calculated
Written translation starts from GEL 15 per page. The final price depends on the languages, volume, specialist subject matter, source-file quality, formatting and deadline. We therefore provide the exact quote after reviewing the complete material.
For legal translation, consistent treatment of definitions, obligations, dates, amounts and annexes is essential. Translation is not legal advice; consult a qualified lawyer if you need the contract’s legal effect assessed.
