The problem is that today's browsers don't set the "charset" attribute
for POST requests. So the information about encoding is lost. The only
solution is the one you have already discovered - make reverse translation
using ISO-8859-1 and then apply the correct translation (which you have to guess).
This situation will change with Mozzila 5.0, which will set the "charset"
attribute.
