Clarify whether the document describes a role or actual work

A generic position description lists expected duties; a reference or employment certificate can describe what one person actually did.

01

Source record

Provide the current role version, reporting line, and any attached competency framework.

02

Reader and purpose

Differentiate essential duties, optional tasks, and required credentials.

03

Quote details

Ask whether the reader expects an exact translation or a localized recruitment advertisement.

What to check before ordering

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

Establish the intended use and source version

A job description may be translated for recruitment, internal staff information, a training plan, or a qualification review. Ask whether the reader wants an exact rendering of the existing role or a separately adapted Slovak job advertisement. Record the employer, role title, department, reporting line, issue date, and version. A current description may not match the duties performed years earlier; request the historical role version when that matters.

Preserve requirements and levels

Separate essential from preferred qualifications, supervision from independent authority, required licenses from helpful certificates, and core duties from occasional tasks. Include competency matrices, schedules, safety instructions, and internal acronyms if they define the role. Translation should not promote a junior position to a regulated professional status or erase physical or legal limits in the source.

Ask for actual-work evidence where needed

The Slovak Ministry of Education distinguishes academic recognition from recognition of professional qualifications for regulated work, which can involve professional experience. A generic job description does not itself establish that a particular person held the role or completed the duties. Ask the responsible authority whether it wants employer confirmation, references, work records, a license, or a qualification certificate alongside or instead of the description.

Scope the format and review

Give the field, source version, approximate words and pages, tables, attachments, target reader, exact translation versus adaptation request, and deadline. A company HR or technical owner should review specialized terms before use. Do not paste confidential job architecture or employee details in the public form.

Common questions

Answers to common questions before you request a quote.

Does a translated job description prove I performed the listed duties?

No. It describes a role. Ask the recipient which person-specific employment evidence it needs.

Can the Slovak version be rewritten as a recruitment advertisement?

That is a different localization or editing scope. Say so in the request rather than assuming an exact translation will be adapted.

Have an English document to translate?
