Dear Nerijus Baliunas,

 How about trying "export GNUSTEP_STRING_ENCODING=NSUTF8StringEncoding"
at bash or "setenv GNUSTEP_STRING_ENCODING NSUTF8StringEncoding" at csh?
 In my case (for not SimpleAgenda but GWorkspace), UTF-8 strings were
displayed well according with my language.
 You would be able to find appropriate encoding strings at
http://www.gnustep.org/resources/documentation/User/Gui/LanguageSetup.html
