I don't quite know, but I'll give suggestions.
Try getting on the freedos-user mailing list. Most volunteers are always busy (or inactive), but you may still find someone fluent there. For instance, I think?? at least one guy (Matuesz Viste) speaks Polish, but he's been busy lately. (Haven't seen Henrique Peron lately, nor Aitor Santamaria Merino. They're the resident i18n experts.) You could also (indirectly) ask on FASM's forum since some of them are Polish. (Sadly, I'm not, but ... "mi eklernis la esperantan jam de du dekjaroj!" CP853 or CP913 FTW!)
So yes, I've (barely) dabbled in i18n in DOS, but it's been a few years. To use CHCP, that's the "system" codepage, which relies on COUNTRY.SYS (in FDCONFIG.SYS) and probably NLSFUNC (neither of which support E-o). The "display"(ed) codepage is from EGA.CPX, DISPLAY.SYS, KEYB.EXE, and you select it with MODE. If KEYB detects that some things aren't loaded properly or incompatible, it may refuse to switch. I don't currently have a setup with this enabled, but it shouldn't be too hard to dig up a proper config for it (and adapt accordingly).
Maybe there are bugs? It could be a VirtualBox problem (try QEMU!) or maybe some file versioning incompatibility (happened before!). It's hard to keep track of so many little DOS pieces, honestly, even for me!
If you absolutely need to view or edit files, try one of the following (in DOS): FoxType, Blocek, Mined, GNU Emacs ... hmmm, even there I feel like I'm forgetting something. (It's too much for such a small group of volunteers to do everything, but we do want to help.)

Hi Mr. Anthony :) Thanks for answer.
This is not config problem coz i try on meny configuration virtual and nativ, I try qemu then and tell You more detail soon... I must try harder :) never give up is right wey. I try meny dos version too 7.1 is not official and only normal pl layout work not programers. Best is in polish wersion windows 98se then i try my 6.22 ms dos version on old pc and i swap keyboard.sys in autoexec to orginal keybrd4 from win 98 se edition add all work perfect. But when i install 6.22 i choice all PL layout and country. Maybe this is sproblem coz in free dos i cant choice country when install only layout thats why i not have good font table in free dos... Thank YOU! I look Qemu and answer soon. FreeDos i test on terminal hp thin client 5655... my laptop sony vaio svf 15 but this is 64bit version... and i not expect too much. And on virtual box. Same config but also same font display...
Ok thanks again for answer i back soon with detail. Give me fiew deys coz now i must go work :) bye bye.
Hello!
I think it is a problem with the configuration of your files. Try this in
AUTOEXEC.BAT:
LH DISPLAY CON=(EGA,437,1)
MODE CON CP PREP=((852) C:\FREEDOS\cpi\EGA.CPX)
MODE CON CP SEL=852
KEYB PL,852,KEYBOARD.SYS
should do it (unless I typo-ed :) ).
Unless something unexpected occurs, I'd say it is not a KEYB bug.
