still codings problem (saving) with babel.

Hello there is still a problem concerning,inserting and saving translated text. Take the word `to answer', which is translated to french as répondre. Now Babelfish gives me a buffer and the word is displayed Char: � (U+2000E9 jit-ucs-charset-0 35 56) point=467 of 473(99%) column 2 r�pondre Now I have three possibilities. - I insert this word into my buffer which contains other french words and save it as iso-8859-1; result the new word is saved as r~pondre. - I save in UTF8. then all the symbols are saved as some sort of japanese Syllables alphabet (I don't speak japanese, this is a guess) - I convert all the french words, via iso-unaccentuate to ascii and save the file as UTF, then répondre is saved correctly! I can then iso-accentuate the rest of the words and continue with UTF8 coding.iplayed so I am puzzled about which coding to chose.
