I looked briefly at files with Czech translations. They are not in fact
correct XML files. They should start with correct encoding declaration
on the first line of each file:
<?xml encoding="windows-1250"?>
Jade silently ignores this error, but other XML based tools may have big
problems with it.

I look at the files, and they are using windows-1250 instead of
iso-8859-2 encoding (both encodings are valid for Czech langauge). I
recommend to switch to iso-8859-2. This encoding is ISO standard and
Jade will not produce errors, because iso-8859-2 is not using characters
in 128-160 positions.
Another argument may be, that there are plenty of editors on Windows,
which are able to work with iso-8859-2, but not many Unix editors are
capable of handling windows-1250.
And finally, if Jade encoding method (SP_ENCODING) is set to XML, it
should automatically recognize iso-8859-2. Windows-1250 is not
recognized, because Jade uses incorecct encoding name Windows. AFAIK.
Hope helps.
