Transformers transform data to and from various formats.

The current Transformers do not support Non-Western Characters (e.g. Hebrew). If the data being transformed contains these characters, they may not be displayed properly. For example, the characters after transformation are not displayed properly (e.g. the word will show up as squares). In other words, Transformers only work for UTF-8. It is recommend not to use international character sets.
