Hi all,

     As I promised I was working in an internationalization patch for 
m0n0wall. I almost finished this. What I have until now is:

- Changed the php to have gettext support. It introduced a litle more 
libraries in the system, and a 1MB space, but everything fits on the 
originall image size of m0n0. (no memory problemas were created. still 
running on wrap)
- I changed EVERY string in the webGUI to use gettext _() function. But 
I didn't care about things like languages that uses other writing 
orientation (asian ones).
- I generated a messages.po with the strings and I started to translate 
to Brazilian Portuguese. I'm looking for people to translate to their 
native languages (http://www.inf.ufsc.br/~everson/m0n0wall/messages.po).
- I created a /locale directory, to have all translations in there. 
Every translations is almost 100K large. My first focues it to have it 
translate to at least 5 more languages than English and Brazilian 
Portuguese.
- I'm almost finishing a patch in System.php to let the user choose the 
language they want, and of course save it in config.xml.

What I'm planning to do:

- As I did the translation on m0n0wal 1.1, I will need soon to have 
another patch to m0n0 1.2. I patched the beta, and everything is ok, but 
I think that some new strigs were introduced, so I will have to test it 
before release it.
- As Manuel said that the translations is not an important issue and 
that it will not be mantained in m0n0 main distribution(development 
problemas), as I'm having more pot files, I will release images in all 
formats m0n0 do to people that want use it. It will be m0n0, with just 
the internationalization patch.
- I will also planning to have a homepage for my m0n0 patches. and this 
images will be released there very soon. I will publish here when I have 
it done.

For people that are interested in translate the pot file, please keep me 
informed, so we will not waste time doing things twice.
