Absolutely. I don't understand the reason for having one combobox per string. 
My suggestion/favorite would be your version #1, but only with the right 
column. I expect the user would have only *one* place to choose the encoding, 
and this encoding will change all imported strings. So if, at a quick glance, 
the strings appear incorrect, the user would choose something differently in 
the *single* combobox, until the strings look correct. 

In the current setups, it is not clear to me whether the expected action of 
the user on seeing "wrong" strings is to click on the topmost combobox or 
rather at the combobox in the respective line.
