This is not just case with the word "English", but with almost all words in slavic languages, as the suffix (and prefix sometimes) changes based on usage. Here's link to an extended and a bit corrected table that
originally came from Petra, that shows how the word "slovenský jazyk/sloven?ina" (slovak language/slovak) changes in the different cases in slovak language.

>meanings include:
>
>- "English language" -- "slovenský jazyk" / "sloven?tina"
>
>- "in English" -- "slovensky"
>
>- "English Web page" - "slovenský", "slovenská" or "slovenské",
> depending on the gender of "Web page".
