Windows Help Project Files (HHP)

Passolo can import all the HTML files for an HHP help project into a single string list. Glossaries, contents pages, indexes and other files that belong to the project are also processed.

Localizing an HHP File

  1. Open an existing project or create a new one (see Creating a Project).
  2. In the Project tab, click Add Source.
  3. Navigate to the folder that contains the help project files and select the hhp file. To filter the files displayed, you can set the File type to HTML files. Close the dialog by clicking on OK
  4. The Properties - Source String List dialog is displayed. Ensure that Add-in HTML parser is set as the Parser. As no language is entered in the hhp file, enter the correct String language
  5. Click Options. In addition to the general settings that apply to all HTML files, two other pages are also displayed: On the File Handling tab, you can specify how the files contained in the help project are to be handled. For example, files can be embedded in the Passolo project or simply copied to the target folder. Click Add to enter a new file specification with the corresponding editing mode. On the Additional Files tab, you can specify additional files that are in the same folder as the help project file.
  6. Confirm all open dialogs by clicking on OK; you will then be taken back to the project window.
  7. Ensure that the corresponding target files are located in different folders to the selected source file.

RoboHelp Projects

RoboHelp projects always also contain an *.hhp file, which you can select as a source file. In addition, the same folder contains additional files, such as the RoboHelp project file or BSSCDefault.h, that are required in the target folder.

  1. Create a help project as described above.
  2. To adapt the parser options, select the *.hpp source file in the project window and click Home tab > String List Settings
  3. Click Options and switch to the Additional Files tab.
  4. Click Add
  5. Enter * as the file specification and select the options Include sub-folders and Copy to translation folder. Close the dialog by clicking on OK. Instead of using *, you can also enter the individual RoboHelp file types individually, e.g.: BSSCDefault.h, *.hm, *.ali, etc.
