You have three options
1. Switch to UTF-8 for all sites, you will then future prove your sites
2. Switch to ISO-8859-9 and get issues when you have to add French
3. Just live with that you can't support any other languages than those
supported with ISO-8859-1
You can't catch the data before you get it, so you will be stuck with
what you got.
