Dear Conor,
In general, if you aim to write documents with elements (names, longer
quotations, etc.) from different languages, I strongly recommend using XeTeX
(or XeLaTeX) with directly uses unicode (and also suports some very beautiful
old fonts with historical ligatures). Switching from LaTeX to XeLaTeX usually
boils down to changing two-three lines in your preamble
Best,
William
