It shouldn't be. It should fall back to the English ones automatically.
I have found our why I was getting that (Move) dialog. I have installed an XP Tweak that tweak that enables a Move To / Copy To context Menu extension function. It is this dialog that was appearing when I tried to either use the Help menu or the help toolbar icon.
The Tweak is:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Move To]
@="{C2FBB631-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}"
Why this should intercept a help file open request from AbiWord is a mystery.
I have now removed the (very useful) tweak and now I can try to open the help file from the program and nothing happens at all. I tried other programs with HTML help files and they work fine (and also worked fine with the tweak installed).
This is a bug.
