The WinCpTranslateString function translates a string from one code page to
another. Both source and destination strings are null terminated.

hab         Identifies the anchor block.
 
cpSrc       Specifies the code page of the source string.
 
pszSrc      Points to the string to be translated.
 
cpDst       Specifies the code page of the resultant string.
 
cchDestMax  Specifies the maximum length of the output string.
 
pszDest     Points to the buffer to receive the translated string.

The return value is TRUE if the function is successful or FALSE if an error
occurs. A return value of TRUE indicates that most, if not all, characters
were translated successfully. All untranslated characters are converted to
