Hi,

I am working on a Chinese language help file. I have an issue while generating chm output, using the Robohelp source files. I am using Robohelp 9.

If a file name is in Chinese font, in the chm output the content of the htm file is not displayed. Output is as follows:

This program cannot display the webpage

But if I change the file name to English, the content(Chinese) is displayed in hte chm file, as in the source htm files.

Please let me know, how to solve this issue. Thanks in advance.

NOTE: I used the same source files and generated a Web Help output, which has come out well.

Hi Sai,

Have you change the language Project Settings to Simplified chienese. If not go to File>Project Settings and change the language and then generate the help file.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Right to left languages are not supported in RoboHelp 9. There is a workaround for WebHelp as listed here but it has not been tested with CHM files.

This is not answer for my question. Chinese language is in LEFT to RIGHT format.

I think the problem here is that whilst RoboHelp supports Chinese, Windows does not when you are on a US (English) system. Also to create the CHM RoboHelp has to use the Microsoft Help Compiler and I doubt that supports Chinese.
