LNG file changes not taking effect?

[kelly_usa]

I have a Robohelp HTML project that is being translated to Spanish. All is well except for one thing. When I view the compiled help file, the Contents and Search tabs are still in English, as well as the Back, Forward, Home, Print, etc. buttons at the top. Here is what I did to attempt to change these to Spanish:

1) Went to File | Project Settings and changed the Language dropdown to Spanish. When I click the Advanced button beside the dropdown, and click on the LNG file tab, everything is in Spanish, so I thought I was good to go. I recompliled (using the HTML Help layout), but they are still showing in English in the compiled CHM file.

2) I tried editing the LNG file in a text editor. There are 3 copies of the LNG file, so I edited all three just to be safe, but still no luck. (One is in the main help project directory, and the other two are under the !Language! directory.)

So where is my project getting the English version of these words, if not from these LNG files? Thanks in advance!

Hi Jeff, thanks for the reply! Not sure I understood that other post correctly, but here is what I tried:

1) Set the project's language back to English

2) Left my PC regional settings set to English

3) Compiled the help

4) Set my PC to Spanish (Chile)

5) Launched the CHM help

That did fix the title (which I hadn't even noticed was broken), but the tabs and button names are still in English. Did I interpret that post incorrectly?

Thanks,

Kelly

Not sure - I'm not a CHM guy - you may also want to check out Rick's Skinny on Skins - see www.robowizard.com<http://www.robowizard.com

Hi Kelly

It's my understanding that the LNG file will not have an effect on CHM output. It's more for the web based outputs. And it's also my understanding that the tabs will only correctly display if you are using the CHM on an honest to goodness Spanish version of Windows. Not where the Windows is actually English, but configured with Spanish settings.

Cheers... Rick

Ah ok, I can send the CHM to my coworker in Chile and see what it does on his system. Thanks Rick and Jeff!
