Yes, that string comes from the Searcher.js set of strings at
Open-ILS/web/js/dojo/openils/widget/nls/cs-cz/Searcher.js - but
similar to the database strings, ultimately they're fed into the
process from http://translations.launchpad.net/evergreen - which
appears to have had fully translated strings since August 2011. Hmm.

<insert investigation noises>

Unfortunately, it looks like the translated strings haven't been
updated in our source repo - there's
nobuild/i18n/po/Searcher.js/cs-CZ.po file, so all that's in 2.1.1 is a
copy of the English strings. This is my fault, as I updated the
strings in September 2011 but appear to have missed bringing over
brand new files that were added :(

If you haven't guessed, the process of pulling updated strings from
Launchpad and pushing them into our git repo, and the reverse process
of updating new and changed strings in Launchpad, has not been
automated. The whole git / bzr divide is a bit of a pain to cross, and
Launchpad uses different locale codes that Evergreen does, so getting
it automated would be awesome.
