PS! Det ser ut som samisk (se) har noen feil i koding.
For Sami, I'm not really sure that using ISO-8859-1 as alternate encoding is appropriate. Anyway, the translation is *very* partial.
You are correct. Nothern Saami have some characters which are missing in ISO-8859-1. I'm not sure if there is any good 8bit charset to use. I suggest trying WINSAMI2.
The 8 bit character set for sami is iso-8859-10. See "http://www.terena.nl/library/multiling/ml-docs/iso-8859.html".
Btw, why do you convert to a 8bit charset? Why not just convert from UTF-8 to UTF-8?
Agreed.
