What to check before ordering

These notes help you describe your request. The receiving organization’s current instructions should guide the final requirements.

Define the reader and intended action

A policy for employees, proposal for a buyer, investor report, and customer instruction need different levels of explanation and tone. State who will read the Slovak version and what the reader should be able to do with it. If a regulator or other authority will receive it, include its format and language instructions.

Choose the approved source version

Mark the version that is ready for translation and identify charts, tables, footnotes, embedded slide text, tracked changes, and appendices that belong in scope. A draft that changes during translation can create rework. Mention any parallel files that must use the same terms.

Share brand and terminology references

Provide approved product names, existing Slovak copy, a glossary, or a style guide if available. Flag terms that must remain in English and abbreviations that need explanation. These references can help make a group of materials consistent without guessing company-specific vocabulary.

Check the Commercial Register route for company records

If a document is intended for Slovakia’s Commercial Register collection of documents, ask the filing representative which record and language form it needs. Section 40 of Act 29/2026, effective 17 August 2026, describes collection documents in Slovak or a foreign language accompanied by a verified Slovak translation. It separately permits content-identical versions in an EU member state’s official language alongside specified documents. That additional-language option should not be treated as permission to file an English record alone without checking the actual procedure. A bank or private counterparty may have different instructions.

Plan the review and file handoff

Tell us whether the source is editable, who will review the Slovak text, and whether comments must be incorporated. Layout in a spreadsheet, deck, or designed PDF can affect scope. Give the internal review date as well as any publication or filing date.

Common questions

Answers to common questions before you request a quote.

Can an English company record be filed without a Slovak version?

Do not assume so. Section 40 of the current Slovak Commercial Register Act describes documents in Slovak or a foreign language with a verified Slovak translation for the collection, plus a separate additional-language option for specified identical versions. Ask the filing representative and registry which exact record, translation, and submission form apply.

Can terminology stay consistent across documents?

A supplied glossary or prior approved translation can guide terminology. Mention related files when you request the quote.

Should I send a PDF or the editable file?

Describe both if you have them. Editable text can simplify review, while the PDF can show the intended layout. Discuss a suitable file-sharing method after the initial request.

Can a team review the Slovak version?

Identify the reviewer, terminology owner, and planned review date when requesting a quote. Review rounds and later source changes should be included in the scope discussion.
