CHM Help

Ben,

I've seen this, too. My understanding is that when you open the chm file on
a French version of Windows, the title will appear correctly. Unfortunately,
I don't have access to Windows in other languages, so I've never been able
to test it myself.

Dear Framers, we have a pesky problem when compiling foreign language HTML
Help which someone out there may have resolved long since. We use WebWorks
ePublisher to generate the HTML pages from Frame documents.
These are then passed to the MS HTML Workshop for compilation. Locale is set
in the ePublisher Formats table - e.g. 'fr' for French. This setting is
passed into the <HTML> tag which starts each page. In the MS HTML project
(HHP) file, there is also a 'locale' field as well as a 'title'
field. The title as set here is the string which appears in the title bar of
the CHM browser. Now this is where it gets strange. If the locale is left as
English, the title appears (in French for example) as set in the HHP file.
If the locale is set to French, the title appears as the default "HTML
Help". Go figure. We are generating and compiling, by the way, on a
multi-language drive. Has anyone come across this glitch?

Cheers
