CYRCON: Latinitza & Cyrillic Converter

CyrCon can translate latinitza into cyrillic characters and convert between the following cyrillic encodings: windows-1251, iso-8859-5, koi8-r, mac-cyrillic and dos cp 866, as well as UTF-8 and UTF-16 unicode encodings.

You can then copy the text to windows clipboard as either unicode or localized text and paste it into another application, such as e-mail.

CyrCon for Windows can open and save plain text, UTF-8 and UTF-16 files.

CyrCon for Windows works on any Win-32 platform such as Windows 98 or Windows XP. Command-line CyrCon works on Windows or Linux.
