The best solution would be for you to make the script on the host
conditional based upon the terminal type $TERM so that when you
are logged in using Kermit which does understand ISO Latin2 for both
input and output that you can do so.
SET TRANSLATION INPUT was a really bad idea because it allowed you to do
things such as your script which are incompatible with every terminal.
