Multi Language Search Tab Results. Use Topic Name instead of filename?

Using RH 15....

When using multiple languages, our filenames are in English
with a language code appended (ie: What’s New?_en-US, What’s New?_pt-BR, What’s
New?_es-419). I have run into an issue when using the Search tab, the Topics to
Display pane displays the file name (English) and not the topic name which is
in the correct language. Is there a way to have RH use the topic name instead
of the file name when displaying the Search tab results? The correct topic in
the correct language does come up in the display window. It just uses the
filename which is in English to select from and not useful to the customer who
does not speak English. I need a way to easily identify the topics with the
same information in them but different languages as the topics need updating... and I am not bi-lingual….Suggestions?

Hi Laura

Admittedly this one is a bit of a head scratcher. What is your output type? CHM? WebHelp? Multscreen HTML 5? FlashHelp? Responsive HTML5?

Cheers... Rick

It is a chm...as I mentioned I do not speak the languages other than English so I thought Cool...all of the filenames are in English under the covers so I can keep track more easily!!...I can handle this!...but then the FILE names are used in the Search results and not the topic title which is what I expected...the search brings up the correct titles in the correct language...they just need to speak in English to read the titles in the search pane!...which they don't of course...:)
