Kvary platform is originally created in Georgian. Where a Georgian version exists, Georgian is authoritative for platform UI, documentation, and legal interpretation.
Translations into other languages are provided for convenience. Some records may originate in other languages and carry their own source or legal locale for a specific flow, but where a Georgian version is available, the Georgian version prevails for platform-level wording and interpretation.

KES (Kvary Evidence Standard) defines a deterministic, reference-only evidence descriptor standard used within Kvary.Network to:

Anchored versions are immutable.
KES is designed to support:
Machine layer and human-readable layer remain aligned.
