I trying to learn more about natural language processing and language 
translation
 
I have installed the English version of WordNet in Postgres without any 
problems.  I downloaded dictionaries from a varity of site such as are used in 
OpenOffice / WinEdt.
 
When I try to build a table from several of the different languages I get the 
following error
 
ERROR:  invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0x82
 
I checked the encoding and it is indeed set up for Unicode-8.  I tried to 
create databases using a variety of other encoding types such as WIN1252 and 
others and I got the same error message from all of them except SQL_ASCII.
 
When I created the database using SQL_ASCII I recieved the warning that the 
database could only store 7 bit data.  When I loaded the data in this database 
I did not have any errors and when I look at the data it seems to be the same 
as in the original text file.
 
Is there a "proper" encoding type that I should use to load the word lists so 
they can interoperate with the WordNet dataset that happily uses the UTF8 
encoding?
