+List of charsets plased in /etc/mc/mc.charsets file. Format of file is a simple: any string must contain:
+
+{{{
+<Name of charset> <description of charset>
+}}}
+
+'Name of charset' must be named by one of {{{iconv -l}}} output charsets names. 'Description of charset' -- string for display charset into 'select charsets' dialog window. 'Name of charset' and 'Description of charset' must be separated by space or tab symbol.
+

+
+You may edit this list as you need. If you mean, that some charsets need to include into default file (in project repository) please keep ticket in our bugtracker.
+
+== Display setup ==
+
+As first, you need to setup charset of input/output (must be equal to your system charset). Setting is made in the 'Display bits' dialog window (Menu -> Options -> Display bits ...). When you save the settings the encoding will be recorded in the configuration file ~/.mc/ini (option 'display_codepage' in section [Misc]). 
+
+== In editor and viewer ==
+
+For change charset press  {{{Ctrl-t}}} (or select Menu -> Command -> Encoding...).This means that the file will be recoded from selected charset into input/output charset. File still untouched.
+
+Search also be produced in the charset that you chose. You can choose "All charsets" in the search dialog to search in all known charsets.
+
+If you save the settings of editor, then the chosen charset will written in the configuration file ~/.mc/ini ('source_codepage parameter' in the [Misc] section). In next time of   editor start saved charset will be used for all reopening files.
+
+== In file panels ==
+
+Press {{{Ctrl-t}}} in active panel (or select 'Menu -> <Left|Right>  -> Encoding...'. Select needed charset. In title of panel you'll see:
+{{{
+/some/path#enc:<selected charset>
+}}}
+
+You may continue to navigate into subdirs. Named of files and directoryes will be recoded from selected charset into input/output charset. You may change charset into subdir:
+{{{
+/some/path#enc:<selected charset>/subdir#enc:<selected charset 2>
+}}}
+In any case recode of filenames will be made from last selected charset into input/output charset (not between charsets in path).
+
+If you select 'No translation' in 'Choose codepage' dialog window, all charset recode info will be cleaned from path.
