I found character code change in source is the easy part.
There are programs specifically to address current Chinese encoding in
English source too. Please check them and adjust them to new set up.
My quick review ... please be careful on these files.
english/Makefile
english/MailingLists/Makefile
english/News/weekly/Makefile
english/mirror/webmirror.wml
english/security/Makefile
stattrans.pl
Please follow: http://www.debian.org/devel/website/translating
Hope this also helps.
