    No, you don't need an article here. No context specifies that you do! It's not even a complete sentence!

      Accepted a version without the article and made it the main one.

        Troussers = spodnie = pants (US) = underwear (UK) = Majtki. It's confusing being British with the translations interpreted to US English, then try to learn Polish too!

            We actually decided to make 'trousers' the default translation... it's strange that 'pants' stayed here. Changed now.

              spodnie in the English dictionary translates as pants. trousers or slacks, therefore it should be considered as a mistake

                  I guess you meant "should not be" :) OK, we will add "slacks".
