I know.  :-)   But Kosta Kostis' old ISOLATIN.CPI works in a pinch.

Probably not much. And I don't use i18n in FreeDOS very much these days.   :-/

Well, as you've previously said, things like 853 vs. 913, we already
have 853 (DISPLAY, KEYB), big thanks to you, which (unlike 913)
additionally supports box chars. 913 (Latin-3) is only good for ultra
compatibility, but it's easy (for me) to translate a text
(semi-)manually if needed.

In short, sure, it'd be cool, but it's probably not worth you wasting
too much time on it unless you really, really wanted to. I don't want
to overburden you.  :-(    It's a volunteer project, so feel free to
work on whatever you want.
