Exceltex assumes Latin1 and thus can only work with western languages.
You have to modify the script. Remove my $ENCODING = "latin1"; and
insert use utf8; instead. I am not sure that it is enough, there are
some tricks with encoding of the output files. There is some
information in the manual but I am not a Windows user and do not have
Excel so that I cannot try.
