This is the birth certificate of Brukha Khana Plotkin, an unknown aunt of my great grandmother. I would very much appreciate a translation, especially of any information not included in the index entry. Thank you!

I don't think you should expect to find anything more on the actual image than the index. Except a possibility of how to spell family/last names.

On the last entry, that has a 15 on the left.

Right column = Bracha Chana
2nd to right = Father is Boruch Yosef Plotki (don't see the N at the end to make out Plotkin) [NOT SURE NEXT WORD; IT IS IN THE FIRST TWO RECORDS AS WELL] [Mother=] Rivka (last name is something like) Pariaslow.
3rd column = place of birth = something like BACHARATRAKOV??? (mentioned in first record; the rest of them says "there"=ibid/ditto)
4th column = Sunday, ____ [days in the month of] Elul
5th column = August 26
[Seems like not yet Gregorian because should be 25 Av, 4 days before the start of Elul. Possibly 10-13 days off I think depending on when that place accepted the Gregorian calendar]
