I have the same with russian. So this is deep problem of how TYPO3 core 
works with charsets.
We discuss this in russian community: the best way is to use ONLY utf-8 
in BackEnd (for all language related things) and in database. And make 
FrontEnd  output in any encoding.

But for this a lot of things must be re-do
