As Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams pointed out, this is actually virt-manager problem with buggy po/cs.po, but python solved this problem "ungracefully". Patch created by Cole Robinson is present in redhat bugzilla and is functional for python-2.6 which I'm using now. Redhat bugzilla complaint was about python-2.7 which is probably affected too on Gentoo according no important difference between /usr/lib64/python2.6/gettext.py and /usr/lib64/python2.7/gettext.py files.

I'm going to see if upstream wants to take something like this. (I've commented on http://bugs.python.org/issue1475523 for now.)
Is this bug still present in current virt-viewer-3.0 and currently stable python?
