Hi, Jeremy. I'm using SBAppLocale to compile (as recommended in the Mif2Go Guide!), and Search is working OK in Arabic. In fact, the Arabic is OK everywhere in the output -- except for the Related Topics button text, and the link text in the Related Topics "Topics Found" dialog box.

Setting aside the compilation, if I just open an HTML page in a browser, everything is in Arabic, except the text on the Related Topics button (which is in something like Cyrillic) and the text in the Related Topics dialog for the button (which is all question marks unless I set the system locale to Arabic, in which case it's something like Cyrillic).

The pages are all encoded with windows-1256.

We're using the HTML Help Related Topics ActiveX control.  When we

Arabic characters, whether or not the system locale is set to Arabic.
The encoding used by our translator is windows-1256.

Is there something we can try, or is this just a limitation of the control?
When you comiled the Arabic CHM, did you do it on
an Arabic system?  NOT just one with the locale set?
That's what HTML Help requires for Search to work;
always has.  Not just for Arabic, but for any other
locale.

Also, are all your HTML files in the correct Code
Page encoding, 1256?  Unicode will NOT work for
HTML Help, though you may think it does.
