Title:
  Untranslatable strings in grub menu

Status in memtest86+ package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in memtest86+ source package in Focal:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  * Impact
  The memory test grub items are not translatable

  * Test case
  The translatable strings should be listed on launchpad so they can be included in the next language packs exports
  https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/memtest86+

  * Regression potential
  There is no actual change but launchpad enforce an source upload for the initial import of a template (and it didn't happen because the sharing setting was wrongly set, which is fixed now)

  ----------

  Currently grub menu contains strings which still untranslated:
  "Memory test"
  "recovery mode"

  I searched them in launchpad grub translation and didn't found. After
  that I searched in Ubuntu 20.04 Beta disc. See my results for Ubuntu
  Beta:

  $ grep -Ril "Memory test" /mnt/cdrom
  /mnt/cdrom/isolinux/bootlogo
  /mnt/cdrom/isolinux/en.hlp
  /mnt/cdrom/isolinux/f3.txt
  grep: предупреждение: /mnt/cdrom/ubuntu: каталоги рекурсивно зациклены

  igor at igor-SVF15A1S9RB:~$ grep -Ril "recovery mode" /mnt/cdrom
  /mnt/cdrom/casper/initrd
  /mnt/cdrom/casper/initrd-oem

  Yuri Chornoivan also make some investigation:
  1. "Memory test" is from Debian patch to memtest86+ package

  http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/m/memtest86+/
  memtest86+_5.01-3.1ubuntu1.debian.tar.xz

  Can be translated via Debian bug reporting system, but got lost
  somehow.

  2. "recovery mode" is from Ubuntu patch to grub2

  http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/g/grub2/
  grub2_2.04-1ubuntu26.debian.tar.xz

  It's in /debian/patches/mkconfig-recovery-title.patch

  Bug report:

  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1240360

  Patch:

  https://nest.parrot.sh/packages/debian/grub2/blob/
  0008378d0c2d957b8ff941a44ad74ad4f617266c/debian/patches/mkconfig-recovery-
  title.patch

  As you can see (line 48), it is not extractable and not translatable.
