Help | Show Help (F1)
Displays this local help. See also "Use Web Help" (below).
Help | Use Web Help (Translated)
If you require non-English help and have internet access, check this menu item. F1/Help will be displayed from the web (help made with FAR Uncompressed help). Google Translation services allow you to translate web help in any language. If the Google Translation panel doesn't appear, click on the floating "Translate" tab (top-right corner of the help topic).
This setting effects all F1\Help in FAR HTML. When unchecked, help is displayed from the local FarHelp.chm help file.
Note: Currently Web Help navigation (TOC/Index/Search) is not translated by Google translation services (because our frame file is created dynamicly using script). This is something we are working on.
