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.
