Does anybody know what this says, or at least what language it is? Stastne vianocne sviatky v... →[More:] rodinnom kruhu a v novom roku vela zdravia a spokojnosti praju LIZAKOVCI

My girlfriend recieved it in a text message from an international number, and we are both perplexed. It doesn't appear to be Polish or Russian.

i think it's from one of these holiday greetings: (new years?)

I'm gonna take an educated guess and say it's Slovakian, because when you plug Stastne vianocne into google all the pages show up with the domain ".sk" (Slovakia).

all google searches lead to .sk domain, Slovakia.

The phone number matches the country code for Slovakia, so that's probably it. Anyone able to find a free Slovak-English translation site? All we can come up with are limited dictionaries and paid translation services.

I wish I still had my AskMe question for the week!

kyleg, I still have one and would be willing to post for you, if you want.

Thanks, Frisbee Girl, that would be a fantastic Christmas present. :)

No worries! Send me an email so we can cover the details (specific wording, etc) and I'll post it, pronto.

You can use pretty much the same wording as this post, just include that we're thinking it's in Slovak. I have to rush off for some last-minute shopping, but again, thank you so much for helping out!

Perfect - ciao!

Done.
Formatting came out a little weird, but it's up and running.

Thanks so much!

My pleasure, I hope you get it figured out!
