I am writing some php functions to run pages of my web site through
altavista's babelfish language translation services.

It works, kind of, but I have run into a problem with multi-byte
international characters.

If I call the desired URL query string directly by typing it into a browser,
it returns a doc, showing in the header:

http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8

and properly displays the additional international characters.

If I call the exact same URL from inside my php code, using curl, the
resulting document appears to have the same UTF-8 encoding in the header,
yet the international characters are lost. I just get ? instead.

Any ideas?
