We must know their local encoding to recode the file in UTF-8.
And we can add the good line in each translation line :
CODING=UTF-8
ou CODING=ISO-8859-1
ou ...

function doInUtf8 () {
case $TERM in
xterm ) if [ `locale charmap` = UTF-8 ]; then
"$@"

We don't need of setcode.

The good solution for me. I think iconv exists anywhere.
If we use CODING variable, it become :
function doFromUtf8 () { $@ | iconv -f$CODING ; }
