Converting to Chinese (TAIWAN) using BIG 5 encoding

I want to add some messages to my system and have them available in Chinese.

I add the message tag to the English.lng file. When I build, it places the new tag for Chinese (Taiwan) in the languages.php file just fine with it's English tag.
I suspect I have to add the translation in the Taiwan.lng file to get the proper conversion into the languages.php
How do I get the english into big5 encoding. Is there a converter to get the gobbledy gook translation.
I can open the languages.php file and easily paste the chinese characters replacing the english characters. I dont want to have to do this after each build.

How do I get the translation into Taiwan.lng file. I think its my text editor that has the issue of displaying the chinese character set although they display nicely with the same editor when I open the languages.php file.

Im just lost, any help would be appreciated.
