helplang.ent File

The helplang.ent file defines text entities used by the Helptag software to determine the default locale and character set for a help volume. See "Locale and Character Set" to learn how to specify a language and character set for your help volume.

The helplang.ent file also defines text entities for default strings such as Note, Caution, and Warning. If you want to override the English strings built into the HelpTag software, copy the file and localize the strings. The file is located in the directory /usr/dt/dthelp/dthelptag.
