Great. Could you please attach it as a patch?

Gettext support for utilities can be done already; you're welcome to add it to more of the stuff in util/, see: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2009-11/msg00273.html For strings in GRUB itself, we need to be more selective. There are a few strings which we obviously want to translate, and some for which it isn't so clear. We can talk about this after the merge. -- Robert Millan The DRM opt-in fallacy: "Your data belongs to us.
