Some countries have several charsets in use. To handle such a situation, programs include auto-detectind code (Mozilla has it, and other). But these are mostly GUI programs, whereas a command line utility with the same functionality is currently missed in Fedora.


Description:

Enca is an Extremely Naive Charset Analyser. It detects character set and
encoding of text files and can also convert them to other encodings using
either a built-in convertor or external libraries and tools like libiconv,
librecode, or cstocs.

Currently, it has support for Belarussian, Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech,
Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Polish, Russian, Slovak, Slovene, and
Ukrainian and some multibyte encodings (mostly variants of Unicode)
independently on the language.

This package also contains shared Enca library other programs can make use of.

Install enca if you need to cope with text files of dubious origin
and unknown encoding and convert them to some reasonable encoding.
