Abstrakt (ENG):

This paper describes the development of a shallow-transfer rule-based machine
translation system from Czech to Slovak on the Apertium platform, mechanically built by combining the lexical, semantic, and grammatical data contained in the newspaper article of the Lidovky.cz: Schwarzenberg: Na Ježíška věřím pořád, kšeftování s Vánoci mě štve. A lightweight manual post-processing is carried out in order to add multi-words that are needed. The rule-based machine translation system called Apertium-Apersky (the latter name means from a Slavic language to Slovak on the Apertium platform) is evaluated and outperforms Google Translate system when it comes to this text concerning one of the greatest Christian holidays and centuries-old Christian moral values in aristocratic families.
