Slovaks working in Austria or Ireland may be asked for English versions of their criminal record extract and school certificates when they start a job. People who own a house or land in Slovakia receive decisions and public notices (verejná vyhláška) from district offices and building authorities, describing what is going to be built nearby and which parcels are affected. Companies with suppliers in Slovakia ask for a commercial register extract before signing and want to read it themselves. The English version keeps the layout of the original, so with both side by side it is clear which paragraph matches which.
Slovak and Czech look alike but use different letters. ä, ľ, ĺ and ŕ are Slovak spellings and ô corresponds to Czech ů, so none of the five exists in Czech. The mark on ľ is printed like a small apostrophe, so after scanning it is easily confused with l', and ĺ differs from í, like ô from ó, by a single stroke. That is why the document language should be set to Slovak, not Czech. Numbers and citations have their own form too: 96,6 m uses a decimal comma, and laws are cited as § 3a ods. 4 zákona č. 135/1961 Zb. When a decision becomes final, a stamp (doložka právoplatnosti) reading nadobudlo právoplatnosť is often put on the first page, with the date and signature added by hand. Handwritten figures on stamps are the hardest to read, so check them against the original.
These are the Slovak-language documents people most often translate to English — each keeps its original layout, seals, and tables.
Drop in a scanned Slovak PDF (one from your phone's scanner app works) or a digital PDF. Image-only PDFs are fine — no text layer needed.
OCR extracts the Slovak text, then it's translated to English while the original text is erased from the page.

Choose Slovak. The two languages share a lot of vocabulary, but letters like ä, ľ, ĺ, ŕ and ô and many word endings are Slovak only. The document language you pick on the upload page decides how the text is read and translated. At the end, check the marks in names and place names against the original.
The printed text on a stamp can be translated, but handwritten dates and figures are not always read correctly. A misread figure is rewritten as clean type, so it looks as if the original said so, which makes it hard to notice. Take dates of finality, dates of receipt and any figure tied to a deadline from the original.
Yes. The English version keeps the file number, parcel numbers (parcela registra C, E), length, width and area, and translates the project description and the legal basis. It works on a phone too: upload the PDF in your phone's browser and download the translated PDF. The poučenie at the end explains whether and how you can appeal, so read it against the original. If you want to object to the project, the deadline and the way to file come from the original, and a local lawyer can help.
