@nikolozpapashvili
I am an experienced English–Georgian translator and interpreter across legal, medical, media.
What I'm looking for
I am a professional English–Georgian translator and interpreter with over 10 years' experience across public sector, healthcare, legal, and creative industries.
I have provided language services for the UK Home Office, NHS, Migrant Help and leading media and film companies. Most recently I translated and proofread Georgian literary works for a UK film production, including a six-book crime series.
I work in consecutive and simultaneous interpreting, face-to-face and remote, and translate literary, medical, legal and technical documents; I also handle subtitling and media translation and use CAT tools such as SDL Trados and MemoQ.
DBS-cleared and dual British–Georgian, I combine linguistic accuracy with cultural sensitivity and composure under pressure, whether supporting asylum seekers or adapting novels for English-speaking audiences. I seek opportunities to deliver precise, culturally aware translations and interpretation for high-impact projects.
