It currently supports Belarussian, Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Estonian, Hungarian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Polish, Russian, Slovak, Slovene, Ukrainian, Chinese, and some multibyte encodings independently on language. The API should be relatively stable (to be read as `it will either change only marginally, or very drastically'). * enca, a command line frontend, integrating libenca and several charset conversion libraries and tools (GNU recode, UNIX98 iconv, perl Unicode::Map, cstocs). 2.
