Hello dear forum participants,
we use MadCap Search for our HTML5 help. The search results are displayed in the browser tab "Search".
Since we only have German users, I have the following question:
Is there a possibility to rename the tab (Search in German = search). With the skin, you can translate search terms in the "UI Text" area, but not the name for the tab.
HTML5: Name of the search tab changeable?

Re: HTML5: Name of the search tab changeable?
You can set the language in the target on its Language tab. By default, it's probably English (United States). Change it to one of the variants of German. That'll tell Flare to use its German language skin.
I see also that one can select the language right in the skin file, rather than in the target. Look for the Language drop-down list at the top of the skin's UI Text tab. But, that doesn't seem to come into play unless one also sets the language in the target.

RETIRED, but still fond of all the Flare friends I've made. See you around now and then!

Thanks Nita for your feedback 
I have already set the language to "German" in both the target and the skin. Even so, the name of the browser tab is "Search". Maybe I need to contact MadCap Support.

Here is the feedback from MadCap Support:

Thank you for contacting MadCap Technical Support. It looks like for this issue you would need to create a custom Search Results Page. The Browser Tab is controlled by the Topic Title which would by Default pull from the Topic's first Heading. If you create a Search Results Page with a Heading and translate this Heading in different Languages, it should automatically update in the output. There is more information on creating a Custom Search Results Page located here: https://help.madcapsoftware.com/flare20 ... rocontent1
I understand that this is a bit of a convoluted process to translate the Search Results Page Title. There is a Feature Request in our system that would allow for changing or translating this title without having to create a custom page. Please note that I have added you to this Feature Request on your behalf (#155839) with our development team. You will be notified via email if this feature becomes available in a future patch or release version. If you have any questions about this issue, please feel free to respond to this e-mail.

Please note the following with this solution: The htm file for the search results must be part of the output. Check under Advanced Tab of your Target, if the option for Content to include is set to Exclude Content not linked to the TOC or Target. If you don 't want to include 'All Content' there is a workaround: Add a Hyperlink to the Search Results topic to any topic included in the TOC/Target. You could then apply a style of "display: none" to the Hyperlink to keep it from appearing in the output.
