[Bug 1874125] [NEW] Untranslatable strings in grub menu

[Igor Zubarev]

Public bug reported:

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

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