Indexing Japanese content in WebHelp Classic

To optimize the indexing of Japanese content in WebHelp pages, the Lucene Kuromoji Japanese analyzer can be used. This analyzer is included in oXygen XML Editor installation kit.

To activate the Japanese indexing in your WebHelp output using a transformation scenario, follow this procedure:

  1. Edit a DITA to WebHelp transformation scenario and in the Parameters tab, set the value of the default.language parameter to ja-jp.
    Note: Alternatively, you could set the xml:lang attribute on the root of the DITA map and the referenced topics to ja-jp. Another alternative for DITA output is to use the webhelp.search.japanese.dictionary parameter to specify a path to a Japanese dictionary that will be used by the Kuromoji morphological engine.
  2. Run the WebHelp transformation scenario to generate the output.
