Style and localization
Style
The purpose of the Commission documents intended for the Internet varies considerably and so does their style. Although EU terminology needs to be respected, please take the probable target audience into consideration (general public, children, specialists etc) and adjust the style accordingly.
You can consult similar pages written in Czech to get an idea - the priority is to be user-friendly and clear. This concerns mainly the sentence structure. Avoid padding expressions that don't carry any meaning. Try to make the text sound as if it had been drafted in Czech, not translated from another language.
Links, web section titles, headings etc.
Click on every link to find out where it leads to and adjust your translation accordingly. Make the Czech version more specific if necessary – the reader should know immediately where he or she is going. The same holds for section titles.
Remember that most web readers are after specific information and they want to find it easily.
Localization
Some expressions might need a little intervention to suit the Czech readers.
Example: A heading below a photograph of the Prague Castle saying „Prague, Czech Republic“ will look better in the Czech translation as „Pražský hrad“.

Translate the following captions that describe photographs of places in the Prague Castle complex. Follow the rules and instructions on style, headings and localize the text. You can specify some information or perhaps even delete some info that is clear to the Czech tourist.
