MultiByteToWideChar does not "translate". It converts between different character encodings.

Calling it like with your example code will convert strings using the specified codepage (1255 = ANSI Hebrew) to UTF-16LE (the Unicode encoding used internally by Windows). Character encoding means that binary codes are assigned to specific characters. The conversion just looks up the UTF-16LE codes for the codes of the input string according to the passed code page.

With 8-bit code pages like 125x ANSI, the lower 128 characters are mapped as they are (the high byte of the UTF-16LE output is zero) and the upper 128 characters are looked up. Example:

Character	ANSI-1255	UTF-16LE
A	0x41	0x0041
א	0xE0	0x05D0

You are probably looking for a translation or transliteration. Windows does not provide such functions. So you have to write it yourself or search the web for existing code.

Adding to Jochen Amtdt solution already given, if you wish to make up your on conversion I suggest you create a look-up table, the value of the English part of the characters is used as the index into an array, the value is the Hebrew.

This allows you to use the value of the character to translate itself by simply using the value it references. You'll need to handle Upper and lower cases, and handle the characters you don't wish to modify (set them to zero and use as flag or map to themselves - the latter more efficient at run time as you don't need to test the value, whilst the former easier to set up).

And, of course, you'll need to reverse the text - either in absolute terms or changing the presentation of the block to R->L.
