Now UTF8 is a defacto charset standard in Debian and other
distributions, moving the pages to UTF8 would avoid encoding
limitations and conversion mistakes.

Out of the 49 languages available on the website, 19 don't use UTF8:
$ grep CHARSET */.wmlrc |grep -vi utf | cut -d "/" -f1 | sort
catalan
chinese
croatian
czech
-> english
greek
hungarian
indonesian
italian
korean
lithuanian
norwegian
polish
portuguese
romanian
romanian
russian
spanish
swedish

The process used and issues met during migration of french translation 
is available at:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-www/2009/07/msg00230.html

The main specific issue of moving the english version over other
languages will be updating the po files of all languages.

Actually, with the move to isoquery to handle country name translations,
non-UTF-8 languages were partly broken, so I just took care of the
remaining ones. Translators, if you notice any issue (after the next
rebuild), please get in touch with us if you need help fixing
(hopefully, nothing will go wrong, but well…).
