Most probably you do not want to know anything about browsers. Sorry, I have
not looked at your source, but here's the only pieces in gtranslator to show
gnome about box, help with default help browser, and website with default
normal browser:

/--------

static GnomeUIInfo the_help_menu[] = {
	GNOMEUIINFO_HELP("gtranslator"),
	GNOMEUIINFO_MENU_ABOUT_ITEM(about_box, NULL),
	GNOMEUIINFO_SEPARATOR,
	GNOMEUIINFO_ITEM_STOCK(N_("gtranslator _website"),
			       N_("gtranslator's homepage on the web"),
			       call_gtranslator_homepage,
			       GNOME_STOCK_MENU_HOME),
	GNOMEUIINFO_END
};

static void call_gtranslator_homepage(GtkWidget  * widget, gpointer useless)
{
	gnome_url_show("http://www.gtranslator.org";);
}

The first item in Help menu displays help, if it is installed in standard
location: `gnome-config --prefix`/share/gnome/help/gnomermind
