Use the Translation Experts option. Not sure how good it is though. How much do you need translated?

Be aware that Czech has several words for one English word.

It all depends on context, gender of the word (m/f/n), gender of the audience, tense, formality and some other things I haven't quite grasped yet.

So fat I have worked out 4 of the 6 surnames that my gf's family have (all the same name but with variations: -a - male; -ova - female was the easies to figure out.

The majority of European languages are like this.

My family name is Ostadal in english, but in Czech it is Ostadalová for females for example.

The translators will give you the ruff translation, but it won't be correct. Depends what you need it for.

My Dad can translate anything if you need any further help.

do a lot of czechs speak german?

What its for is in my job most days i get to meet czech,french,dutch and spanish lorry drivers and need to be able to have a basic conversation with them.
By far the best at speaking english are the belguims and those from the netgherlands,their english is very impressive.
As for the different nationalities,the czechs and the dutch are the nicest,although i have noticed a high percentage of mullets amongst czech men.

I understand what you're saying,i guess it could be easy to "say the wrong thing"?

A lot of Czechs speak English (especially the young), but a lot are shy/scared to try it. Even my family are shy to speak English to me. My cousin's been in Scotland for the past year, so he's been keen to help his English. He's admitted to being lazy as there's a lot of Czech students/graduates here in Glasgow and they all speak Czech to each other. I keep having to tell my other cousin off for not speaking English to me coz I know his is very good.

In the West of the Czech Republic a lot speak German simply due to the closeness to Germany itself. A lot of Czechs work or have worked in Germany too. Until recently they all learned Russian at school, so is that any good to you

Mullets are very in outside of Prague Bit of advice, stop hanging around male truck drivers and get in with the Czech girls. My heart skips a beat everytime I'm back there

I'm trying to arrange some Czech lessons in Edinburgh starting in a few weeks, It's worth looking around the net or local Uni's as there's plenty of Czech students in the country.

The problem I've found is that the pronounciation can be very different to what you think a word or phrase is when it's simply written down. It's not an easy language to learn.
