Ukrainian–Czech translator online

Select the direction in the switch above the input field, paste the text, and click "Translate" — the result can be copied immediately with the button. Registration is not required, and no fee is charged.

Translation in KOMPAS is free, but has technical limitations. You can send up to 1,500 characters at a time. The external MyMemory service also indicates a daily limit for anonymous use — 5,000 characters, and this quota is shared, not personal for each visitor.

Therefore, the practical conclusion is: if the translation did not work, the most likely reason is the shared quota, not an error in your text. Try later or break the text into parts of a few paragraphs: this way there is less chance of hitting the limit and it is easier to proofread the result.

These are different specialists, and confusion here costs a visit. A soudní překladatel translates documents — certificates, diplomas, contracts. A soudní tlumočník translates live conversation: at an appointment at an institution, with a doctor, in court, when signing with a notary.

A překladatel translates documents, a tlumočník — spoken conversation. If the institution requires an official status, choose the type Soudní tlumočník in the registry.

If the institution said "come with a translator," clarify what exactly is meant: going to a meeting with a person who does written translations is a common mistake. You need to look for both in the same place — the SEZNAT Registry of the Ministry of Justice of the Czech Republic: https://seznat.justice.cz/. In the registry, select the type Soudní překladatel, then the language, and, if necessary, the region, district, or municipality (obec). What official status means is in the dictionary.

No. Machine translation is a tool to understand the content: a letter from the post office, an announcement, a contract before a meeting with a lawyer. It has no legal force, and no institution will accept it instead of an official translation.

What kind of translation is needed depends on the procedure and the specific institution. For certificates, diplomas, references, contracts, and court documents, ask in advance: in what language to submit, whether a translation by a registry specialist is needed, whether certification is required, and whether copies are accepted.

Separately about privacy: do not enter personal data, document numbers, and medical details here. The text goes to an external translation service, so treat it as public.

Ukrainian documents issued or certified by a competent authority and drawn up in accordance with Article 18 of the treaty between the Czech Republic and Ukraine are submitted in the Czech Republic without an apostille or superlegalization. This also applies to civil status records, court decisions, extracts from registers, and educational documents. Usually, a translation into Czech is required in a form acceptable to the specific institution — clarify the requirements for the original, copy, and translation in advance.

The course of action that saves money: first, ask the institution that will accept the document in writing, and only then order the translation. If it turns out that additional certification or another form of translation is needed, you will have to redo everything — and no one will compensate you for paying for norm pages a second time.

The private price is agreed with the translator. If it is not agreed or the translation is ordered by a government authority, the rate is 550 CZK per each started norm page (1,800 characters), without possible additional charges and expenses. In two open price lists checked on 07/24/2026, the Ukrainian↔Czech translation cost 490–550 CZK per norm page. Ask for a written calculation of the total cost.

Three things worth clarifying before ordering. First: how many norm pages your document will result in — characters are counted, not sheets, so a short certificate with stamps may turn out to be more expensive than it seems. Second: whether certification and binding to the original or copy are included in the price. Third: whether there is a surcharge for urgency and how long the usual period is.

Ask for a full written calculation before starting work — then the final amount will not be a surprise.

For everyday phrases — quite a lot: greetings, making a doctor's appointment, questions in a store. The closer the text is to spoken language, the fewer errors.

Where it regularly makes mistakes: legal formulations, medical diagnoses, names of institutions and documents, as well as cases in proper nouns. The dangerous thing is that an incorrect translation looks just as confident as a correct one — you won't see from the result itself that something is wrong.

Practical rule: if a decision depends on accuracy — status, money, treatment, signature under a contract — check the text with a person who knows Czech, or order an official translation. For daily communication, start with a phrasebook on the topics above, and for systematic language learning, there is a guide "Language".
