Summary	0006144: Czech: encoding problem (Iiso <-> utf8)
Description	I run to this yesterday. I have pgSQL database in Unicode encoding. Czech translation have set page charset to ISO-8859-2. When i want send form with czech characters, i get database error, it's just in wrong encoding and pgSQL don't like it. I have reencoded whole translation and changed charset setting, but it's little uncomfortable for future releases. Maybe there should be setting for database encoding and when it will be set, convert strings on fly when sending to database.

I believe the solution is 0004084, but that's been around for awhile and no concrete plans seem to have emerged thus far for how best to do it, since it's a bit complicated.
