Hi James,

and thanks for this patch which definitely move forward. Thanks ! (If 
you'd
know the number of times I prayed for this bug to be fixed)

I tried a rebuild at home on a Debian Jessie + 0.9.7 version with this 
added.
And I made one qt4 build and one qt5 build.

The outcome is that when going to : hydrogen menu -> Info -> User 
manual, I've got
the user manuel (in English whatever the language I'm using).
If I then click on "Documentation index" with I expect to show me this :

But it doesn't.

James, Jaromir, others, any idea ?

Cheers,
Olivier

PS : thanks again James, really appreciated.
