Czech language
Czech translation efforts have been going on for over seven centuries. The earliest known Czech texts are from the 13th century. It wasn't until 1533 that the grammar of the Czech language was formally written down, and it wasn't until the beginning of the 1600s that Czech grammar was systematized. The Czech language has undergone tremendous evolutions during its short lifetime.
Understanding the Intricacies of Modern Czech Translation One of the most enigmatic and popular Czech figures of the end of the last century is the author Milan Kundera. His novels, which include The Unbearable Lightness of Being, Immortality, and the Book of Laughter and Forgetting, capture the essence of the Czech language. Many Czech translation experts have attempted to capture the spirit of Kundera's work, but few have succeeded.

History
The history of Czech goes far back into the 9th century when the Slavic dialects that later gave birth to Czech were spoken in the area. The first written records come from the turn of the 13th and 14th century.
The first translation of the Bible into Czech dates somewhere in the 1380s thus being the third in Europe after Italian and French.
The history of the Czech language, as it is known now, starts somewhere in the 15th and 16th century when the first Czech grammar and a new translation of the Bible were published.
The beginnings of Czech spelling lie in the work of Master Jan Hus in the early 15th century. The use of Czech as a literary and official language receded slowly with the Thirty-Year War (in the 17th century). Czech was then replaced by German as the language used for official purposes in the Czech lands as the Hapsburgs took over. In the ensuing centuries, Czech was mostly spoken by lower classes (especially in the country).
Compared to German and Latin, there are only a few literary works in Czech from the Baroque period. That is why by the end of the18th century Czech was believed to be a dying language.
The turn of the century, however, witnessed the birth of a cultural and political movement referred to as the National Revival (Národní Obrození). A new Czech grammar book and a large dictionary were published. Speaking Czech became fashionable, and many a work of literature was published in the language. As the century progressed, Czech found its place along with German as the official language, and was beginning to be taught in schools of higher education again.
Since 1918 (founding of Czechoslovakia), Czech has been the sole official language in the Czech Republic.
Perhaps one of the most influential Czech authors of the 20th century, is the world famous writer Franz Kafka. Author of The Castle, The Great Wall of China, The Trial, and countless other dark and amusing stories, Kafka redefined the art of the story during his life. Many of the themes of Kafka's works still resonate with modern readers. He left an indelible imprint on the consciousness of a generation of writers, Czech and otherwise.
