Section "Sa"

The Commercial Register is divided into sections (oddiely) and inserts (vložky). The section indicates legal form of the company: Sa (PLC), sro (Ltd.), the insert number is a unique identifier of the company.

I always leave these Sa and sro in Slovak - I think they are part of the company's registration ID and should not be changed, but different translators have different approaches in this regard.
Peer comment(s):

agree Matej Hasko : leave Sa in Slovak

agree Lubosh Hanuska : definitely - do not translate these abbreviations. I usually add a "translator's note" if required...

agree machula : never translate the abbreviations, usually the Comm. Reg. entry is used together with/followed by 'akciova spolocnost so sidlom' so there's room for conveying what the company's form is, i believe, btw, Section Sa, File no. (oddiel Sa, vlozka c....)

Joint-stock company?

I fully agree with Dagmar and only have small concern whether Sa (Akciova spolocnost) meaning Join-Stock company equals fully to english legal concept of the PLC.
Could you give us your opinion Charles, please?
Note from asker:
My understanding is that joint-stock company is the American English term and public limited company is the British English equivalent. I am not aware of there being any difference between the two. Thank you for your feedback by the way
