You also have to use iconv or something similar to transliterate
messages/ro/LC-MESSAGES/mailman.po and templates/ro/* from iso-8859-2
to utf-8 and change the charset= parameter on the Content-Type: header
in messages/ro/LC-MESSAGES/mailman.po and then use msgfmt or Mailman's
bin/msgfmt.py to update messages/ro/LC-MESSAGES/mailman.mo from
messages/ro/LC-MESSAGES/mailman.po.

If you check Mailman's error log, you'll probably find uncaught
exceptions due to trying to process iso-8859-2 templates and/or
messages as utf-8.
