I18N: One DCT vs multiple languages

Hello,
our problem is, that we need to show dcr-content in different languages.
therefor we decided to create a folder per language under the data-type folder.
i.e.
data/type/de for german
data/type/en for english

So far, so good.

But now we have to display content in russian, polish, czechian and chinese.
i.e.
data/type/rue for russian
data/type/cn for chinese

When we are using 'ISO-8859-1' it works well with english and the german "Umlaut".
But the other languages need to have 'UTF-8'. (As far as we know)
When we use 'UTF-8' the german "Umlaut" doesn't work. The Authors are not smart enough to write "ü" :-(

How can we display dcr (which are using the same DCT) with different encoding

In order to correctly and easily integrate multiple languages into a website, UTF-8 should be used
