Can HTML Help Display in Other Languages (like Russian)?

[Gagne, Bernard (Bolton)]

WebWorks 9.2's inability to handle Russian and Chinese (among many
others) was the chief reason my company abandoned it as a solution for
HTML Help. It worked just fine with standard Latin character based
languages, but we also needed a solution that worked with Cyrillic,
Greek, and Asian languages.
I would not recommend it.

Hi, Framers.

 

After spending the morning Googling this topic with not much to show for
my efforts, I realized I should have checked with the brethren to start
with.  I don't know all the details yet (the project is just beginning)
but I'm hearing that they'll want HTML Help displayed in Spanish and
Russian, and maybe Chinese.  Will FrameMaker 7.0 and WebWorks 9.2 handle
all the different characters and number, currency, and date formats
associated with these languages?  And can these languages be displayed
okay in HTML Help?

 

Thanks!
