Hello, all. In GRUB we use bison parser. GRUB itself is localised (if
you want to translate it to your language template is available from TP
it would be most welcome). But bison parser wasn't localised due to GRUB
previously supporting only one domain, now I've changed that and making
it to pick up bison-runtime translation. But then comes another problem:
Romanian, Estonian, Turkish and Croatian translation use non-UTF-8
non-latin1 charset. Adding ISO8859-2/-9/-15 support into GRUB would be
counter-productive as the size of needed tables is comparable with the
respective message catalog. Dates on po indicate that this encoding use
is probably a leftover from early days. Would it be possible to convert
them to UTF-8. To do so you need just to:
msgconv -t UTF-8 bison-runtime-2.5.ll.po -o new_bison-runtime-2.5.ll.po
(replace ll with language code)
and upload the new file
Thanks in advance.
