Sometimes when fetching data from external files they are in a different encoding than expected (character encoding is in most cases UTF-8). This is possible to handle by using convert_encoding_from and convert_encoding_to. In this case below we convert from Windows-1252 (convert_encoding_from) character encoding to UTF-8 (convert_encoding_to). These setting are ONLY applied on external files. Internal files is handled automatically. Don’t try to use the setting if you’re not having issues with character encoding.
