Answer 1

very likely dos2unix is looking for codepage to use, but does not find a keyboard defined;
you can simply ignore if you are satisfied with the us codepage used for translation (suppose 437), or you can change the script so it uses explicitly codepage 437 or 850 (option -437 or -850).
this is not really an error message, but a warning, or informational
