Mesembryanthemum | 195 comments I just created a record for a book that I own: The Old Georgian Embroidery, by Ketevan Davitishvili.

This book is in Georgian, Russian, and English. I speak English and Russian (not fluently), but no Georgian at all. So I used Google Translate to provide the Georgian title in the description.

I added a cover image that clearly shows the Georgian title, but the script is different enough that I'm not sure if Google Translate's version of the printed Georgian characters are correct. In fact, I'm pretty sure they're not.

If there's a Georgian speaker amongst our librarians, could you take a look and correct the title, if necessary? Needless to say, this is a VERY low priority task. But I thank you in advance if you're able to help.

Mesembryanthemum | 195 comments Thanks for that link -- the keyboard is amazing! I used it to piece together enough Georgian letters to search for the author (on the web). As a result, I'm pretty sure that the title I entered is correct.

I'll mark this topic as "done", but would be happy to hear confirmation or corrections from anyone who knows Georgian.
