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.
This program cannot display the webpage
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.

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.

Apologies for changing the direction Chinese write
I wonder if this is yet another instance where the language of the operating system comes into play. I helped a user in a similar situation a few weeks ago. Check out this post and post back it it helps:

Hi,
The info from the above link is useful. But it is not related to my question. Hence, I am giving a detailed picture of my problem, once again.
NOTE: I used the same source files and generated a Web Help output, which has come out well. The content both in the TOC and reading pane, is displayed as in the HTM source files of RoboHelp.
Also note that the Operating System language, in my system is US (English).
Please let me know, how to solve this issue. Thanks in advance.

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.

Rh supports simplified Chinese for content only, not file names.
If installed selecting the Japanese UI on a PC with Windows also installed for Japanese, then I would guess the file name could be in Japanese. I stress that is a guess only.
I don't work with other languages so I do not have more detailed knowledge.

Hi MURALIDHAR,
I had the same issue in Japanese. I don't know how you are getting your content into RoboHelp, but we use FrameMaker. It has everything to do with the names of the topics, it seems. Here is how I resolved this issue for us.
The filenames will use the filename in Windows, followed by a number when the FrameMaker files are imported into RoboHelp. As long as your filenames are in not in a double-byte language, it will function correctly in an English environment.
I had our Japanese translator test the file on her system and it also worked in the Japanese environment. I hope this helps you with your issue!

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
