In general we see no nice solution to fix this problem (except moving to full UTF in shop)..

Imagine you have non UTF shop with two admin languages - german and russian.
You login to admin by selecting russian language, thus all UI translations goes russian. You choose to load list items in german and you see that umlauts are broken due to different charset encoding...and so on.

We could encode/recode output/input into/from utf-8, but still this could lead to many problems + performence loss and this solution would not look nice.

So as we implemented UTF support, prepared migration description - correct way is to mograte shop to utf and forgot about such problems.
