\section{\class{wxEncodingConverter}}\label{wxencodingconverter}
-This class is capable of converting strings between any two
+This class is capable of converting strings between two
8-bit encodings/charsets. It can also convert from/to Unicode (but only
-if you compiled wxWindows with wxUSE\_UNICODE set to 1).
+if you compiled wxWidgets with wxUSE\_WCHAR\_T set to 1). Only a limited subset
+of encodings is supported by wxEncodingConverter:
+{\tt wxFONTENCODING\_ISO8859\_1..15}, {\tt wxFONTENCODING\_CP1250..1257} and
+{\tt wxFONTENCODING\_KOI8}.
+
+\wxheading{Note}
+
+Please use \helpref{wxMBConv classes}{mbconvclasses} instead
+if possible. \helpref{wxCSConv}{wxcsconv} has much better support for various
+encodings than wxEncodingConverter. wxEncodingConverter is useful only
+if you rely on {\tt wxCONVERT\_SUBSTITUTE} mode of operation (see
+\helpref{Init}{wxencodingconverterinit}).

+\membersection{wxEncodingConverter::CanConvert}\label{wxencodingconvertercanconvert}
+
+\func{static bool}{CanConvert}{\param{wxFontEncoding }{encIn}, \param{wxFontEncoding }{encOut}}
+
+Return true if (any text in) multibyte encoding \arg{encIn} can be converted to
+another one ({\it encOut}) losslessly.
+
+Do not call this method with \texttt{wxFONTENCODING\_UNICODE} as either
+parameter, it doesn't make sense (always works in one sense and always depends
+on the text to convert in the other).

+
+All of the versions above return \true if the conversion was lossless and
