Does anyone have experience trying to localize the DotNet Help Viewer to support languages beyond the current four?
For example: Do all of the *.mcstrings files need to have translations added? Is it OK to redistribute alternative file versions with custom localization?
Localizing to Spanish, Italian, Chinese, ...?

The viewer can't not be customized at this time

I opened an enhancement request (11687) on this and received a reply from MadCap Tech Support. They confirmed that the DotNet help viewer doesn't support localization to other languages.
The support rep tried experimenting with the *.mcstrings files (in the HelpViewer.app\Resources\Strings\ folder) but was unsuccessful. He held out hope that in a future release the mchelp viewer would be opened up so as to pull everything from the skin and language files, but there seems to be no solution on the immediate horizon.
