does anyone know how to accomplish the following?

I currently have a mysql db table where the default character set for 
the character columns is LATIN1.

Currently I have French words including : Fraîcheur - notice the "î"

I currently do a dump of the table via php that prepares a sql insert 
statement so that data can be loaded into another mysql database, 
which also has a LATIN1 character set for the destination table.

HOWEVER - as this destination table is for an english speaking user, 
I need to translate the french letters to their english equivelant 
via my php script.

Can this be done?  The character set is the same on both the target 
and source tables.  One other issue is that, depending on the tool I 
use to import the text file values, sometimes the letters are LOST 
entirely, and produce a "?" where the letter should go.  this is an 
annoyance, but also another reason to move the english version of the 
letters.

THANKS for your help
