What it does
Reads and writes text files in legacy encodings such as CP1251, KOI8-R and GBK. It supports 45 encodings, detects each one from the file bytes, gives the model UTF-8 text, and saves changes in the original encoding. BOM and line endings are kept, so the file still works with the legacy tool that uses it.
Use cases
- 01Edit Cyrillic translation files without corrupting them
- 02Update a legacy config file and keep its line endings
- 03Read a file when its encoding is unknown
