Maybe I forgot something, but it should be as easy as this:

1) generate locales (dpkg-reconfigure locales)
2) change your $LANG, etc.
3) convert your filenames (convmv is the king here) and the
contents of them 
(isoconv).

4) alter /etc/environment too...

my locales look like this:

LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=de_DE:de:en_GB:en
LC_CTYPE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

less /etc/environment
LANG="de_DE.UTF-8"
LANGUAGE="de_DE:de:en_GB:en"

I know convmv, but I did not know isoconv, I will try it.

But one problem remains. If I open a new file in lets say
kate this is encoded 
an iso-8559-1. Do I have to switch for every single new file
manualy to utf8, 
do I have to set it for every single app which is able to
edit text or is 
there an cental way to tell all apps to use utf8?

Thanks. W. Mader
