Yes, you can change this at the top of your language file. For most
languages, you would have to change the encoding used in the language file,
but for English it should be the same in UTF-8 and ISO-8859-1.

This is not a complete solution. Analog still outputs the search terms
byte-by-byte exactly as they appear in the logfile. If you have search terms
in more than one charset, analog makes no attempt to detect the various
charsets and convert them to a common charset. But you can also switch
between charsets within your browser to see any search terms in the "wrong"
charset.
