This small tool permits you to translate an input text or a text file on UTF-8 towards a local charset. You type your text in the input box, select your destination encoding, and then press the [Encode] button.

As result, it shows the text in the new charset as well as a link to the file in the new encoding that youn can downlad to your local hard disk.

If the returned contents are empty, this means that you text is not convertible to the destination encoding, for example, Hebrew text to GBK.

The process stops as soon as it meets a bad character in the text.

The conversion simply uses the PHP instrisical function: <?php $result = iconv("Source-Encoding", "Destination-Encoding", $source_text); ?>

The upload file size is limited at 2M bytes.
