Copy helpfiles

Hi!

Is it possible to copy the helpfiles in one language in a lv version with an other language?

You can always copy the help file. I guess your question is if you will still enjoy the convenience of opening the help file at the right page when you call for help. For example, when you right-click on a VI and select "help" (if available), the help will show up at the page with information about that VI.

The way this work is that the help file have a unique tag for each page, and the VI has a command that call the help file using that unique tag. What you need to check is if the tags are always the same no matter the language in which the help file was written. Open a VI and check its properties, specifically the documentation, and check the format of the help call. Then open the VI of the other language version and check the help call. If they look the same, it will work.

If not, you won't have the convenience of opening the help file as usual, but at least you have the help file in your preferred language.
