Abstract

Method and device for updating a language in a user interface. The present invention concerns a first device (1) comprising an interface (8) for connection to a network (2) comprising a second device (3), and comprising a user interfacing means (41) for providing content to a user interface (20), the user interfacing means comprising at least one element (21) in a given language and a list of languages (22) available for the at least one element, the given language being stored in a memory (4). The first device comprises means for retrieving information about available languages for said element (21) from said second device (3), and means for updating the list of languages (22) available.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to methods and devices for updating languages ​​in user interfaces. Background technique [0002] The gateway device includes a web interface as well as a help menu embedded in the firmware. Currently, language packs are available on the compact disc ROM shipped with the gateway device, wherein the language pack contains localization of a certain Digital Subscriber Line gateway web interface and its firmware-embedded help. Iterations to these language packs due to updates, corrections or software variants cannot reach customers unless new iterations to the compact disc become available. Often, language packs are only available on compact discs and nowhere else, and short-term updates to language packs are not available to customers. New language packs for additional languages ​​should never be delivered to customers without notice. If no compact disc is delivered with the product, only the language packs embedded in the...
