I'm curious. Since the user never sees either the help folder in the Finder
or its name in Help Viewer, we have never given them localized names.
However, I did see this problem once with one of our localizations. Are you
saying that your help folder names didn't match your CFBundleHelpBookxxx
values or that you changed both folder names and CFBundleHelpBookxxx values
and that got it to work?
