Hi, thanks for the patch; however, you'd probably have been served well
to check the mail archives and/or the development sources of Wget.

We've fixed it a different way, which involves counting "zbývá" as
taking up 5 character spaces, rather than 7. There is a prerelease with
this fix, Wget 1.11.1-b2080, available at http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/wget/.

The prerelease still has a potential for crashes: in the Czech locales
it will tend to crash if the download is large (or slow) enough to push
minutes into the three-digit zone (that is, if it would take > 1 hour
and 40 minutes). I've removed even this potential in the current
development sources (replacing it instead with an ugly, too-long
progress bar that can either scroll the screen continually, or else
leave an unerased character at the end of the line - but those are
preferable to the crash, methinks). This will make it to another
prerelease soon.

Ideally, Wget wouldn't even scroll the screen, etc, in the face of
two-long ETA strings; it should properly count how much space it has,
rather than guesstimate. But I have more pressing things to work on for
now. :)

BTW, we don't accept patches, nor make changes, to the translation
strings in po/. These are the responsibility of the individual
translation teams of the Translation Project
(www.translationproject.org); whom contact for such suggestions.
