I don't think this part is described well in the wiki. So I describe my idea 
here:

- GRUB needs to have a locale variable to determine a language.

- GRUB needs to have gettext or something similar to translate messages.

- GRUB needs to be able to generate .po files compatible with gettext.

- GRUB needs to support message translations by scripting as well as by C 
code.

These are not implemented at all yet, but not difficult. I expect that this 
would take 2 weeks, if one works in full time.
