Subject: Foreign character PINE filters??

There are many languages in the world with which people communicate.

The ASCII symbols available to PINE do not include all the characters 
needed for most languages that are not English.

There are conversion filters that will allow the messages to be 
converted to the available ASCII characters for sending and receiving but 
allowing writing and reading to be done in the desired language.

I am hoping to hear about anyones experiences using such filters/converters,
especially anyone who has tried or succeeded in attaching them to PINE so 
that the process is automatic. (That is to say not requiring; write the 
text, convert it, send it, receive it, export to a file, read it).

The language I am using is Latvian but the principles should be the same 
for any non English language.

Thank you
