When I said burocratic it was not like "Spanish burocracy" :-)
I added locale support in another program (Python based). By
"burocratic" I was thinking the part adding _(    ) in all strings :-)

(adding locale support to a non locale program has been quite much
difficult and work... also I guess that there will be some problems
adding locale dependencies in Grub too)
