How can I add new language support in the Overleaf LaTeX editor?

Question

I'm trying to add Georgian text support in Overleaf LaTeX editor but it shows me empty space where the Georgian text is supposed to be. How Georgian text looks: ეს არის ქართული ტექსტი.

I tried adding \usepackage[georgian]{babel} in background.tex as well as in the main file A.K.A. David_Shainidze_CV_GEO.tex, but still facing the same issue.

I've also tried selecting different supported compilers on the platform but nothing has changed. Ex: Tried LuaLaTeX and XeLaTeX:

Here's the project structure:

• Minimal Reproducible Example:

% !TeX TS-program = lualatex

\documentclass[11pt]{article}

\usepackage{../components/commonheader}

\begin{document}

ეს არის ქართული ტექსტი

\end{document}

• The entire source code of the project: https://github.com/dsha256/modular-latex-resume

Please, don't hesitate to ask if you need some additional details for giving a shot to my issue.

Thanks in advance! Appreciate any type of interaction and willingness to help me <3.14

• You need to use a font which includes the characters of your language, e.g.

---

% !TeX TS-program = lualatex

\documentclass[11pt]{article}

\usepackage{../components/commonheader}

\setsansfont{DejaVu Sans}

\begin{document}

ეს არის ქართული ტექსტი

\end{document}

• You also must not use & in normal text. You will see an error about this in the log file. You have to escape it with ... Frontend team (2 Engineers) \& the Backend team ...

• Don't try to compile your document with xelatex. You load packages which exclusively work with lualatex
