For example, in <a href="http://vienna-rss.sourceforge.net/vienna_dev.php" title="Vienna Development" rel="nofollow">Vienna's</a> indexing script for <code>zh_CN.lproj</code>, I used the following: <code>/Developer/Applications/Utilities/Help\ Indexer.app/Contents/MacOS/Help\ Indexer $TARGET_BUILD_DIR/$UNLOCALIZED_RESOURCES_FOLDER_PATH/zh_CN.lproj/Vienna\ Help/ -PantherIndexing YES -Tokenizer 5 -UseRemoteRoot NO -IndexAchors YES -MinTermLength 1</code>. You can also set the input and output files to only index when the help files have changes, which I've done, but that's probably more work than necessary. :-) When indexing non-English localizations, you might want to add some command line arguments.
