Title:
  German translation of editing screen legend considered harmful!

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “grub2” source package in Lucid:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub

  The original English version of the GRUB2 editing screen legend
  contains the vital information "Press Ctrl-x to boot [...]". It's even
  coloured yellow as to convey its importancy. The German translation of
  that legend, however, omits that information. In my opinion this is a
  critical bug as it effectively prevents the user from being able to
  rescue his system should the need arise.

  SRU justification:

  IMPACT: As above.  I've had to help several confused users unable to
  work out how to edit the boot menu and make their changes take effect.

  DEVELOPMENT BRANCH: We picked up a corrected translation as part of a
  general translation update in Maverick.  I've backported this one
  change from it.

  PATCH: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-
  dev/ubuntu/lucid/grub2/lucid/revision/1971

  TEST CASE: Install in German, and hold Shift while booting to display
  the GRUB menu (or, if in KVM, edit /etc/default/grub, comment out both
  GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT* lines, run 'sudo update-grub', and reboot).  Edit
  a menu entry.  Check that the legend includes a comment about Ctrl-x
  (Strg-X in German).

  REGRESSION POTENTIAL: None that I can think of.
