Right. I will fix this.

Would you explain the tranlation more concretely? 

If my understanding is correct, common letter sets between Latin 1 and
Latin 2 is Germany letters only. 

Is it enough to convert the Germany letters of Latin 1 to that of
Latin 2 and vice versa?

UnicodeData.txt tells me that EURO SIGN has code point 20AC. I'm quite
confused why 0100-24ff is chosen. Or, is this encoded with UTF-8?
