I've been using Author-It v5.3.207.6063 to generate help in Japanese. This seemed to work fine, but the resultant chm file's Search tab wouldn't work with Japanese glyphs (only with English characters).

Further experimentation has revealed a way of getting the Search tab to work. I had to do the following:

1. Update the regional settings (XP) to enable Japanese and set it as the default for non-Unicode applications
1. On the Languages tab, tick “Install files for East Asian languages”

Have you ever thought, "I wonder what will happen if I set my phone to Japanese"? Or had to use a PC set to a different region? Here are some useful terms in a variety of languages to help you to find your way about.
