Veronika Hansova: try googling "privilege" or even "mile privilege" with the quotation marks and you get 260 hits on Czech sites :)

Jim Tucker: This translator (or historian writing in EN?) uses the same term. It is unobjectionable as far as I can see. I have seen reference to this in Hungarian as well, but know of no other way to put it. Would use the hyphen after one. http://english.mucl.cz/
