HTML Help User Interface Localize Problem

[Guest]

Hi,

I'm using trial version of ROBOHelp 9 for generate HTML Help (*.chm) files. But i have a problem with user interface language. I setted my Robohelp project language to "Turkish" and then generated Microsoft HTML Help (.*chm) file. BUt when i opened generated *.chm file; its user interface language is different from selected language. During the search for associated solution of the problem, i run into an article http://help.adobe.com/en_US/RoboHelp/8.0/RoboHTML/WS2AEC496D-947A-4556-A613-FB4D78D98BD0.html

http://help.adobe.com/en_US/RoboHelp/8.0/RoboHTML/WS2AEC496D-947A-4556-A613-FB4D78D98BD0.html.

In this article, there is a note which describes our problem and its reason.

Note: In HTML Help systems, the end user’s operating system must be in the same language as the one used in your project. Otherwise, the end user’s operating system overrides the language specified in your project. The dictionary and index sorting are not affected in the end user’s system.

Is there any way of solving this problem?

Thank you in advance.

At least in older versions, there was no way around it:

The HTML Help Viewer is part of Windows, and uses Windows language resources. We left it at that, assuming that a person with Turkish (or Arabic, Chinese, etc.) Windows would install our software in the same language.

Now we've been using WebHelp, which uses texts from a 'RoboHHRE.lng' file. I don't remember if a translated version of that file came with RoboHelp 7 (what we are still using). We had to translate it for many languages that are included in the RoboHelp language list.

You could check 'RoboHHRE.lng' to see if your's is translated. There should be one in the help project root folder and another one in a language folder in '!Language!'

It is possible to modify it in Notepad if you want to try whether it now affects HTML Helps too.

Thank you for your answer. But 'ROBOHHRE.lng' affects WebHELP but it doesn't affect HTML Help.
For *.chm files is there any other viewer instead of HTML Help Viewer? Or is there any trick like using bitmap for buttons label?
