Do I execute this from the terminal?
I tried to but it returned the following error: -bash: -type: command not found

Something like this could do: $ find sourcedir -type f -execdir sh -c 'iconv -f iso-8859-1 -t utf-8 "{}" > /path/to/destdir/"{}"' ;
This command line uses iconv to convert all files from "sourcedir" and put the result of the conversion into "destdir".
