>> Hi,

>> Pros of this change:
>> - UTF-8 is IMHO currently more widely supported than ISO 8859-2.
>> - Access keys referring to characters with diacritical marks could be
>> used, e.g. "_UÚkoly". This is currently not possible and a different
>> letter must be chosen as an access key, e.g. "Ú_koly", which does not
>> make much sense.
>>
>> Cons:
>> - All the Czech *.po files would need to be converted to UTF-8 and all
>> access keys would need to be repaired, which is quite error-prone.
>> Perhaps a script could help to automate this task.
>>
>> What is your opinion of this?

Hey

The translation files do use characters like č ý š ř á
Perhaps it is just a question about changing the keyboard shortcut
characters
Thats something you need to do in the *po files and then generate new *.mo
files.

But is that a good idea.
If you, or others, use a keyboard with out those special caracters you
can't use keyboard shortcuts.
At least not until you change keyboard layout.
The change would influence a lot of other users.
