With Qt comes an example how to use the assistant interface to manage help (examples/assistant/simpletextviewer). Under documentation/, there are also example docs.

But I'd prefer to get the system locale's language (or country) and start a browser in doc/{lng}/documentation.html.

do you have doxygen style commenting in the classes of your application?

Not for generating user's manuals, as the doxygen stuff explains how to use the classes, not the program's behaviour. Why?

go through any of Qt's source files..you'll find the comments in there are exactly whats written about them in Qt Assistant..Qt uses doxygen style commenting inside to produce documentation for all their classes which is then used in Qt Assistant

Yes. Ok. I use this kind of comments, too. What exactly was now the basic question of this thread? How to display this help or how to generate it?
