The short story is:

(a) copy gnubg.pot to cz.po
(b) edit cz.po
(c) run msgfmt
(d) copy the resulting gmo file to the correct spot
(e) set LANG=cz_CS and run gnubg

Hlynur Sigurgíslason [hsi(at)here(dot)is] has started working on the
Icelandic translation a few weeks ago. Maybe he has some tips?!

Anyway, here are some random qoutes from the mailing list that may be
helpful:

(replace 'is' with 'cz')
