Thread:Project:Support desk/mediawiki-1.11.2 - latin1 TO mediawiki-1.13.3 - utf8

I got from someone a wiki that work on different server with mediawiki 1.11.2 to put on my server running mediawiki 1.13.3. (got a mysql dump file and images directory) I saw in the database dump file that the charset is latin. The pages contain hebrew letters. I tried to convert the dump file to utf8 or something with no success. After I load the dump file in my database, I tried to check the lines in the database and the hebrew look like hex of the letters. It look : c397c5bec397e28098c397c2a0c397e2809d5fc397 From the mediawiki point of view hebrew title look garbage. because the link to the page is the title, the pages cannot find each other and there are a lot of red link on the pages. Right now I can see all the hebrew text of the page, probably because it save in the database as binary but cannot see the title and because of that I lost the connection between the pages.

Any idea how to solve this problem?
