Does the Czech version sound (to Czech speakers) as if something is missing from it, as the English version does? In English a more natural sentence would be something like: She tried but was unsuccessful. Obviously, I can't tell just how natural the Czech sentence is.

I agree with venic212. For me ( also English speaker) She tried unsuccessfully makes more sense. Or as previously said she tried but was unsuccessful. I read widely... a lot different books and I have never come across such a statement. I would never say not even colouquially.
