But anything that's not built into the browser is too much work, when all I want is to find out whether a web page is relevant. And asking that browser developers should support "windows-1255 misinterpreted as Latin-1 and reencoded in UTF-8" is a bit too much. One could use Tzafrir's idea if a browser allowed you to pipe a particular page through a shell command and redisplay it immediately. Do you know of a browser that allows this? Otherwise, mental translation is the only practical solution, unfortunately.
