How it works

How to Translate Products to Slovak

Get your product catalog translated and ready to sell in three simple steps

  1. 01

    Import your products

    Connect your e-commerce platform or upload your catalog as a file. WISEPIM takes over titles, descriptions, attributes and categories.

  2. 02

    AI translates to Slovak

    The AI translates your catalog with your glossary, your protected terms and your instructions per market. Numbers, units and model numbers stay as they are.

  3. 03

    Review and publish

    Review the translations and publish them to your sales channels. That way you reach Slovak-speaking customers without going through an agency.

Example

One article: what changes, what stays

An example from a sanitary catalog. Texts and option values are translated. Numbers, units and article numbers stay exactly as they are.

One article: what changes, what stays
Product nameThermostatic shower mixer, surface-mounted, DN 15, chromeTranslated, with the terms from your glossary
Material (option value)BrassTranslated once for every product with this value
Connection1/2"Stays 1/2"
Flow rate22 l/minStays 22 l/min
Article numberTB-4415-CRStays TB-4415-CR (protected term)

In a Catalog Jobs translation run, a text whose numbers, units or protected terms do not match the source waits in the Review queue instead of going live.

Checklist

Slovak Product Information Checklist

Make sure your product data is complete and optimized for Slovak-speaking customers

Product Content

  • Build titles in the order your channel expects: brand, product type, key spec, model
  • Keep article numbers, EANs and model codes untranslated as protected terms
  • Use one term per concept across the whole catalog, set in your glossary
  • Translate safety notes and claims exactly, and never add new ones
  • Check that bullet points name the same specs as the source

Attributes and Specifications

  • Translate option values once per attribute, not per product
  • Keep spec values identical: DN 15, 1/2" and 22 l/min stay as they are
  • Write decimals and thousands the way the target market does
  • Mark brand and series names as never translate
  • Check units the market writes differently, without changing the value

SEO and Discoverability

  • Keep meta titles under 60 and meta descriptions under 160 characters
  • Use the search terms buyers in the market use, not literal translations
  • Translate the alt text of your images
  • Map your categories to the category names of the market
  • Set hreflang tags for every language version

Culture and language

Slovak Culture and Language Insights

Understanding the local culture is key to successful product translations

Recommended Tone and Style

Use a Mixed tone with a professional, respectful, informative, direct style when writing product descriptions.

Key Considerations

  • Importance of correct grammar and spelling, as errors can undermine credibility.
  • Direct communication is appreciated, but always maintain a polite and respectful tone.
  • Value for money and clear, transparent pricing are crucial for Slovak consumers.
  • A strong national identity means a preference for local payment methods and trusted brands.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Relying solely on machine translation without professional human review.
  • Not localizing currency (EUR) or offering preferred local payment methods.
  • Ignoring local holidays and cultural events in marketing campaigns.
  • Assuming content localized for Czech is directly applicable to Slovak without adaptation.

Translation tips

  • Always use native Slovak translators to ensure natural phrasing, correct grammar, and cultural nuances.
  • Pay meticulous attention to diacritics (e.g., č, š, ž, ý, á, í) as their incorrect use can change word meaning or create awkward phrasing.
  • Localize all numbers, dates, currency (EUR), and measurement units (metric system) to Slovak standards.
  • Maintain a polite and respectful tone, using appropriate formal address ('Vy') when addressing customers in general e-commerce contexts, unless a more informal approach is explicitly desired and appropriate for the brand.
  • Ensure all legal disclaimers, privacy policies, and terms and conditions comply with Slovak and EU consumer protection laws.

Shipping Expectations

Localization

Localizing for Slovak-Speaking Customers

Translation is just the start. Adapt your content to local expectations for maximum impact.

  • Slovakia uses the metric system exclusively. All measurements for length, weight, volume, and temperature should be in metric units (meters, kilograms, liters, Celsius).
  • Clothing sizes primarily follow the European (EU) standard (e.g., 34, 36, 38 for women; 46, 48, 50 for men). Always provide a detailed size chart with measurements in centimeters (cm) for accuracy.
  • Shoe sizes are universally expressed in European (EU) sizing (e.g., 38, 39, 40). It is beneficial to include a size conversion chart with foot length in centimeters.
  • Weight units for products should be in kilograms (kg) for larger items and grams (g) for smaller items, typically without imperial equivalents unless specifically targeting an international audience.
  • Dimensions are typically presented in centimeters (cm) for most products, in the order of length x width x height (dĺžka x šírka x výška), e.g., 'Rozmery: 30 cm x 20 cm x 5 cm'.

  • Date format is typically DD. MM. YYYY (e.g., 31. 12. 2025) or without spaces: DD.MM.YYYY (e.g., 31.12.2025).
  • The decimal separator is a comma (,), for example, 123,45.
  • The thousand separator is a non-breaking space ( ) or a thin space, for example, 1 234 567. For four-digit numbers, no separator is typically used (e.g., 1234).
  • Currency is shown with the amount followed by a space and then the Euro symbol (€) or the currency code 'EUR', for example, 99,95 € or 99,95 EUR.
  • Time is expressed using the 24-hour format (e.g., 14:30). The week starts on Monday.

  • Slovak consumers appreciate authentic, natural photography over overly staged or heavily photoshopped images. Lifestyle shots that depict real people in relatable, everyday situations are generally preferred.
  • Model representation should reflect the local population, emphasizing a sense of realism and approachability. Diversity in age and body types is valued, avoiding overly idealized or 'perfect' models.
  • Design aesthetics tend towards clean, functional layouts with sufficient whitespace. Clarity and usability are often prioritized over excessive ornamentation. Blues, greens, and earthy tones are popular.
  • When featuring people, direct eye contact is generally acceptable and can convey sincerity. Images showing family, friends, or community interaction in a positive light often resonate well.
  • Imagery showcasing Slovakia's natural beauty (e.g., Tatra Mountains, national parks) or traditional elements (folkloric patterns, crafts, but used subtly) can evoke national pride and connection.

  • Red is widely recognized as the color for sales, discounts, and urgent promotions in Slovakia, signaling attention and a good deal. Orange can also be effective for similar purposes.
  • Blue (especially darker shades) is strongly associated with trust, reliability, and professionalism, often used by banks, insurance companies, and governmental institutions. Green also conveys reliability, nature, and health.
  • For premium or luxury products, gold, silver, black, and deep purple colors are effective in conveying sophistication, high quality, and exclusivity.
  • While not strongly negative, brown can sometimes be perceived as conservative, earthy, or modest, and might not be suitable for products aiming for a modern or luxurious image. Avoid overly chaotic or clashing color schemes.
  • White is often associated with purity, cleanliness, and new beginnings. Green is strongly linked to nature, health, and hope, making it suitable for eco-friendly or wellness products.

Local SEO

Local SEO Tips for Slovak

Optimize your product content for search engines in Slovak-speaking markets

  • Prioritize Google for SEO, as it holds over 90% market share in Slovakia. Focus on optimizing for Google My Business listings for local services and stores.
  • Conduct keyword research for Slovak variations, including diminutives (e.g., 'kaviarne' for coffee shops, but also 'kaviarničky' for cozy small ones) and regional dialect terms if applicable for hyper-local targeting.
  • Structure content to be clear, concise, and informative. Slovak users appreciate direct information, often preferring practical guides and factual descriptions over overly promotional or long-winded text. Use clear headings and bullet points.
  • Focus on local link building by seeking partnerships with prominent Slovak online directories (e.g., Zoznam.sk, Azet.sk), local news portals, relevant industry associations, and regional influencers.
  • Utilize a .sk ccTLD (country code Top-Level Domain) and local hosting within Slovakia to signal relevance to search engines and improve loading speeds for Slovak users.
  • Optimize for mobile-first indexing and ensure fast loading times on mobile devices, as a significant portion of Slovak internet users access content via smartphones.

Slovak Product Translation FAQ

Common questions about translating products to Slovak

WISEPIM translates with the glossary and do-not-translate terms from your Knowledge Library, so product names and fixed terms come out the way you set them. It handles product descriptions, technical specifications, and sales copy. It typically delivers 95%+ accuracy. You can review and edit every translation before publishing, and reviewer feedback can become new glossary terms and settings for the next run.

It depends on the size of your catalog and the number of languages. Bulk translations run in the background as a job, so you can keep working, and you get a notification when the results are ready to review. Before you start, a free preview shows how many texts per language need translating and what the run costs in credits.

Yes, within the rules you set. The AI adapts tone, wording and formatting to the target market, and you steer it per project with a glossary of fixed translations, words that are never translated (brand names, model codes) and your own instructions. In a Catalog Jobs translate run, every new translation is checked for kept numbers and units, protected terms, intact HTML and length limits, and a text that fails waits in the Review queue instead of going live.

Yes, if you turn on SEO optimization in your translation settings. Meta titles, meta descriptions and meta keywords are then written for search in the target language, with natural keyword placement and the original meaning kept. With it off, they are translated faithfully at a similar length. In a Catalog Jobs translate run, meta titles over 60 characters and meta descriptions over 160 go to the Review queue.

Yes, you have full control. You can edit any translated content directly in WISEPIM and push the changes to your connected sales channels. If you update the original product description, you choose whether to translate it again or keep your manual edits. On paid plans, the operation history lets you undo changes at any time.

Translation runs on credits. A standard translation of one product into one language costs one credit, and a higher-quality tier costs more per product. Before every run, a free preview shows how many texts per language will be translated and how many credits the run takes, so you can start with one category.

Yes. WISEPIM translates from your project's main language, so your source data does not have to be in English. You pick the target languages for each run.

Push it to a connected shop, export it as a file or feed from Feed Hub, or share a read-only Brand Portal in the languages you choose. Dealers browse it, download the data or import it into their own WISEPIM.
