@!#%$ Help
I have been struggling to get French and French Canadian versions of help working with my program. The English Help works fine, and the localized versions of the program, apart from the help (strings, currency values and dates) also work fine.
I have added a help folder to each localized folder (fr.lproj and fr_ca.lproj), indexed the Help Books, and adjusted the ‘AppleTitle’ tag accordingly. I have also localized Info.plist, left the ‘CFBundleHelpBookFolder’ alone, and changed the ‘CFBundleHelpBookName’ to match the ‘AppleTitle’ tag.
Now, when I change my locale and run my app, I can select ‘Aide Horizon’ from the ‘Aide’ Menu, and Help Viewer opens with French menu items. But, it does not load the Help Book. However, the Help Book is listed in the Help Viewer ‘Library’ menu, and if I select that the help works fine. This tells me the the Help System has found the Help Book, but not why it’s not loading it.
I have also turned on debugging for the Help Viewer, and compared the loading of the English Help to the request to load the French help. I couldn’t see any error messages or anything significant in the debugging output.
I’ve also been through all the steps in this article with no results.
So, does anyone know how I can fix this, or have any suggestions where I can turn for help? I’ve already asked on the apple-help-authoring list, but I haven’t heard anything back yet.
Stumble it!
