Currently I suggest you not to start translation yet, we are looking for a way to work with language sets or something
so it becomes easier to translate the stuff to the language wanted

Ok if you need some help to translate the different menu in French, doesn't hesitate I will be happy to help you. In addition it will be good to increase my English level :)

But, just to myself information, I will like to find a web site who explain how "open" this firmware ;)

In the next futur, I think to realize a web site "in French" with a tutorial to setup (basic) for the WL500G.

This product is very stable and have a lot of possibility

Have nice Sunday :D

you mean how to modify?

well without minimum knowledge of linux you are lost immediately..

everything that is known is explained all over the forum, beside that it requires knowledge of linux to understand

I understand that is difficult to modify a firmware but I have a little experience with Linux "Mandrake and Knoppix".
Perhaps an other way will be, you communicate a text file in English language and after all people could translate each sentence or word in their native language. :)

Have nice week-end
