Exclamation [SOLVED] HTML files and Japanese charset

Hello

I am working with translators on the translation of HTML English files into Japanese. The charset of the English files is iso-8859-1.
I am not too sure why but during the translation process, this charset is changed to Shift-JIS (is it because the Japanese translator has this specific charset for viewing of JP html files by default?).

Now the problem :

Can anyone tell me how to effectively change the charset in the translated JP html file to iso-2022-jp? (It needs to be this one so that readers using Lotus as mailbox can read the text okay).

So far I have tried to do it manually (Source/and then manual edit of the charset) but although it does change the name of the charset in the source, there is basically no change to the result: Firefox still cannot read the Japanese characters.

Sorry for the long message - I hope you can help!
