Hi,
I liked the idea of customization very much, especially the language/localization, but there isn't mine in the menu (Portuguese).

Considering that there isn't a whole lot of text to be translated in the Reader, is there a way to create a new translation, or is it hardcoded in the firmware?

PS.: Didn't worked for me the 1st time.

Reflashed and back to normal.

Building some nerve to try again!

PS2: Didn't work again! I used option 5 and 6, but it shows a message that there isn't a new image (/tmp/self_upgrade/new_opt.img not found).

PS3.: OK, now it worked! When you make a backup of the firmware, the files are written in the PRS's /tmp folder, and then the updater seems to not be able to write a new firmware file in it. I moved the backup files to my PC, and then it worked.

I think you should put this explicitly in the first post: if you backup the firmware (#3), copy and delete the files from the PRS /tmp folder BEFORE flashing the new firmware.
