Welcome Toth,

it's a nice news that you are interested in launching a new translation. 
Although I don't speak the Slovak language, I'm leading the Hungarian 
Documentation Project and contributing to the Spanish one and I'm 
generally interested in the translation projects. I'll help you with the 
markup and the formal requirements of the translation. I also recommend 
you to start out with the web pages. First, please take a look at this 
document: 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/fdp-primer/index.html
For now, you will need the following chapters: 1 / 2 / 3 / 4.1 / 8 / 9 / 10.
The rest are not strictly necessary for the web sites.

If you are done and still interested, please drop me a mail and I'll 
tell you some useful tips which I've ontained during working on the 
Hungarian translation.

I'm looking forward to cooperate with you.

Regards,
Gábor Kövesdán
