You probably have the problem with question marks instead of foreign letters,
no? Just set the charset definition in PO files to something totally foo - I
have added -FOO at the end, like this:
	"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-2-FOO\n"
Gettext will moan about this when it compiles them to .mo, but later it will
work... That worked for me when I had this problem.

I, on the other would like real charset conversion, needed for WAP/XML export
and other stuff...
