In SGML instance simply use ISO 8859-2 encoding. When processing with
Jade, you must set environment variable SP_ENCODING to value ISO-8859-2.

In stylesheet you can use this. Now is used little bit different way to
store localization (look at gentext module in DocBook CVS). Localization
is now stored in XML and DSSSL stylesheets are gerenerated automatically
from these templates.

When creating DocBook documents just use ISO Latin 2 encoding and set
SP_ENCODING to correct value.
