The JavaHelp system viewer generally inherits the locale from the application. For information about how applications are internationalized, see the internationalization section of The Java Tutorial at:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/i18n/index.html
The culturally dependent data (for example, messages and
labels) for the presentation components is contained in the
property file named javahelp.properties in the
javax.help.resources package.
If the locale of the help viewer is different from the
locale of the application, the locale of the HelpBroker can
be set using the HelpBroker.setLocale() method.
Setting the locale of the HelpBroker sets the locale for
all subordinate components. If you do not use the
HelpBroker, set the locale of the JHelp* components
directly using their setLocal() methods.
There are two places in the JavaHelp system GUI where culturally dependent input is required: Index Find and Search Query.
In both cases, platform-specific input methods are used. Once text is entered in the Index Find or Search Query text boxes, additional locale-based processing is activated (usually by pressing the Enter key).
In the Index Find case, the input text is searched for
within the index entries using locale-based comparisons.
The locale used in Index Find is the locale of the Index
navigator - usually the locale of the application, unless
overridden using the
JHelpIndexNavigator.setLocale() method.
In the Search Query case, the input text and the locale of
the Search navigator are passed to a HelpSearch
class. The HelpSearch class tokenizes the query
text into words using the locale-specific tokenizer. The
locale used in Search Query is the locale of the Search
navigator - usually the locale of the application, unless
overridden using the HelpBroker.setLocale or
JHelpSearchNavigator.setLocale methods.
