The gnome help system (yelp) looks for things in /usr/share/help

The language you are looking for is the same as your locale settings and
in locale terms, 'C' is the default if your locale doesn't exist.  What
it comes down to is that the 'C' locale is American English.  So the
Evolution help files should be in /usr/share/help/C/evolution and on
F18, those files are provided by the evolution-help package.
