How to convert a UTF-8 file to an ANSI file?

I have an ini file, the encode is ANSI, the original file is Chinese, need translate to German, after I export the German target file, I found some of the German characters garbled, they became some of weird Chinese characters, so I convert the original ANSI file into UTF-8 file, and the exported the German target file again, the ini file seem OK in German.

But my client told me that their software only support ASNI file.

I opened the sdlxliff in notepad++, it's a UTF-8 BOM file, I convert the sdlxliff into ANSI, some oft the German letters turned into ?, like ä, ü, ö, etc...

I try to covert the German UTF8 target file to ANSI in notepad, notepad++, editplus... but the letters turned into ? again.

Can anyone tell me how to convert the file?

Thanks.
