Start by converting the content of your template files to UTF8:

  for i in `ls -R *.tex`; do iconv -f ISO-8859-1 -t UTF8 $i -o UTF8-$i; done

You can now move the new UTF8-template files into another folder:

  mkdir utf8
  mv UTF8-* utf8

Then navigate into the new folder and remove the “UTF8-” part of the file names:

  for file in UTF8-*; do mv "$file" "${file:5}"; done

As a last step you need to exchange the call for “latin1” packages to “utf8” packages instead:

  find -type f -exec sed -i 's/latin1/utf8/g' {} \;

That's it!
