same feelings here

Robert, I think that Ubuntu people was interested to translate Grub. Do
they want to translate only the frontcover or all messages? (for
example, to do something as easy as adding init=/bin/bash in one
operating system entry, that users may have to do even if Grub is
working...)

The patch to translate Grub (booting time) is not very big and should
not add problems in terms of Grub mantainability (when it's done).
