I am trying to translate the webhelp classic help window UI to Simplified Chinese (zh-cn), but the translated labels that I have in the strings-zh-cn.xml file I have created in the [DocBook XSL directory]/com.oxygenxml.webhelp.classic/oxygen-webhelp/resources/localization folder are not being picked up and I am getting the following types of errors reported for the Print (printThisPage), Link (linkToThis) and other UI buttons:
[DOTX052W]: No string named 'printThisPage' was found when creating generated text; using the value 'printThisPage' in your output file.

I had to create the strings-zh-cn.xml file and so I copied the en-us one, changed the xml:lang statement at the beginning to <strings xml:lang="zh-cn"> and put in the following translations to test and left the others as US English:
<str name="printThisPage" js="true" php="false">打印此页</str>
<str name="linkToThis" js="true" php="false">链接到此页面</str>

I’ve added the strings-zh-cn.xml file to the strings.xml file in the same folder with the entry:

<lang xml:lang="zh-cn" filename="strings-zh-cn.xml"/>

It looks like the strings-zh-cn.xml file is not being located as the webhelp UI is not even showing the US English labels that are there that I have not translated.

The translations that were in the /com.oxygenxml.webhelp.classic/oxygen-webhelp/resources/localization/strings.xml file that was there by default (as in, I didn’t need to create it) are working.

The map and each topic have the language set xml:lang="zh-cn" .

In the transformation scenario I have the following settings:
• args.dita.locale zh-cn
• default.language zh-cn

Any suggestions as to where else I need to make updates for the zh-cn webhelp labels to be displayed? I have this working for de-de, but the translation files were both already there and so I didn’t have to create them or add them to the string.xml file.
Thanks.

Sometimes when the new labels doesn't appear in the output it means that the localization plugin hasn't been integrated.
Have you run the "Run DITA-OT Integrator" scenario before running your WebHelp transformation?
Did the new localization plugin name appeared in the console?

What comes to mind to test are whether this is only an issue if you access the help locally - if you access it on a server is it OK? I remember having some issues with translation resolved by checking this. It's something to do with the browser not being able to execute all javascript functionality for local files.
Also, for us, we get an index.html and an index_frames.html file generated and we have to delete the index.html and rename the other one to index.html or we get some tab name issues. This may just be our install, I don't know.
