Yes, at least for most accented and umlauted characters, n with tilde, c with cedilla and other necessary for languages based on the latin alphabet.

(The only one that cannot be translated when writing in Spanish is the opening exclamation mark.)

See Michiel's article "Training Golded to play UTF-8 Part 2", FidoNews 37:18 (4 May 2020)

It's about CP850  UTF-8 translation, but it is possible for LATIN-1  UTF-8 too.
