>>>>> - UTF-8 is IMHO currently more widely supported than ISO 8859-2.

>>>>> 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?

>>> At least not until you change keyboard layout.

How this should work anyway? You don't have these characters on a keyboard.
