You might try the following http://www.dokuwiki.org/tips:convert_to_utf8
The bash + php works. I can't guarantee DokuWiki will like the results. I
believe it should for the following reasons:
1. utf8 page name comes into dokuwiki
2. dokuwiki strips any character that shouldn't be used
3. if necessary dokuwiki encodes the filename
The aim is to reverse an earlier encoding process at 3. Since this is a
straight encoding from utf8 all we should need to do is decode the result. Any
"bad" characters in the original utf8 page name were removed at step 2, so
won't have been included in the encoded result.
Anyway, that is my logic. I wouldn't throw away anything until you have
successfully spidered your wiki.
Obviously this doesn't take into account any encoded page names that may be
used in your wiki content. Someone with more time might care to add error
checking, do the directory recursion within php, build a plugin that uses
dokuwiki functions to iterate over all the pages and do the conversions in
place.
