> 9 Generating Microsoft HTML Help > 9.13 Generating HTML Help in non-Western languages > 9.13.2 Specifying locale and language for HTML Help
To specify locale and language for HTML Help (for example, Japanese):
; HelpFileLanguage = LCID to put in project file, default is for
HelpFileLanguage = 0x411 Japanese
This is equivalent to setting the following in
your .hhp
file:
Mif2Go supports the following locales:
Each of these values sets an associated code
page for all output files, and overrides any values specified in the
configuration file for the following settings in [HTMLOptions]
:
Getting around a defect in HHW in order to display Help title
When you specify a locale identifier (LCID) other
than US English, a defect in HTML Help Workshop prevents your Help-file
title from being displayed in the CHM file; instead, the title shows as “HTML Help”. Mif2Go provides a default workaround that sets the
HTML Help Workshop Language
option to US English
for initial creation of the .hhp
file. Even
if the resulting CHM file will be used in other locales, a setting for
HelpFileLanguage
is required to display the
value you specified for HelpFileTitle
instead
of just “HTML Help”.
Fixed spaces cannot always be represented
Because fixed spaces (such as non-breaking spaces
and thin spaces) cannot be represented in some code pages, if you are
using (for example) the Japanese locale, Mif2Go maps all fixed spaces to the ideographic space,
U+3000
(x81
x40
),
for code page 932. For other characters, see §21.5 Assigning properties to text formats.
