tellenc is limited to English and Chinese (and multibyte encodings for
other languages). At least it would seem so from the list of supported
encodings on the web page.

However, enca tries to leverage the fact that a language does not use
all positions in a single-byte encoding so if you give the language it
can tell apart different single-byte encodings with good accuracy.

Thanks
