Yes. One can use all languages in same encoding (all

Wikisource,
Wikibooks and Wiktionary are in UTF-8 already, so I don't
think it will be a
problem for them.
All the remaining latin-1 language files will have to be upgraded to do that, or appropriate run-time upconversion added.
I have an idea, we had converted the frwiki by converting all the dump in one time. I took around 2 hours for 2.5GB of dump We could convert all tables except old, the biggest and the longest. And running a script which convert old later. Old will be in broken iso-8859 for a few day. I wrote a small php script to convert old from iso-8859-1 to utf-8, cause I broke old on de.wiktionary during the conversion to utf-8 (I forgot that old is gzipped, converting a binary is not very good:) )
What do you think about ?
