DtHelp Message Catalog

The menus, buttons, and labels that appear in help dialogs should also be displayed in the user's native language. To enable this, Help dialogs read such strings from a message catalog named DtHelp.cat.

The message catalog source file, DtHelp.msg, contains strings for menus, buttons, and messages. If the language you need is not supplied, you must translate the sample message catalog (/usr/dt/dthelp/nls/C/DtHelp.msg) and then use the gencat command to create the run-time message catalog file. See "To Create a Message Catalog"for instructions.

Refer to your system documentation to determine the correct directory where your new message catalog should be installed.
