I wrote a python script to do this; you can get it at
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Import_Sim_Contacts
It doesn't specifically handle internationlization. I don't know if
libgsmdtool will stream internationalized characters, or even if
python streams i18n characters correctly by default. It would at
least be a starting place. The script inserts the contacts using the
2007.2 dbus interface; you would need to change it to target another
database.
If you do have to change it, I would love to have the code updates :-)
I need to get this into projects.openmoko.org...
The code is availble under GPL v2.0, although I still need to get that
into the code itself.
There was also some code written by a Chinese fellow that is (I think)
integrated into the 2007.2 contacts application. It did handle i18n.
It should just be an option in the 2007.2 contacts application...
