If you keep your contents in MySQL, all you have to do is export the
files, encode them to UTF-8 and re-import them.

And how come I don't see Hebrew anymore after being re-directed?

The hebrew translation doesn't build for years now, so we can't update
it to use UTF8. When the hebrew team fixes this the problem will be
gone.

Hebrew - and I'm not trying to view it on purpose. It's your site that
forces me to see everything that has a Hebrew version in Hebrew (by
redirecting me il.php.net).

Hmm, strangely currently the pages in il.php.net are all in English.
Did you do something?

What language are you trying to view? We are supposed to actually use
UTF-8 for all languages.

I assume there aren't a lot of complaints about it as obviously it
doesn't effect English users. Even in fake UTF-8 mode, they still see
English letters.

Description:
------------
It is really annoying to enter php.net as it tells my browser to use
UTF-8 encoding, but when it auto-redirects me to a version in my
languge, that language uses a local encoding so I have to switch to it
manually - each time I enter a page in php.net!

Expected result:
----------------
Don't just fake UTF-8, but actually encode your content to it.

Actual result:
--------------
A lot of Gibberish.
