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). Regards, -- Carles Pina i Estany http://pinux.info
