I agree with Robert. These should be in /usr/share/locale; if you can't find
it (due to a separate partition, or problems to read it), I think you should
either:
- lose, and get the C locale messages
- try to set it up using the correct grub device that contains the locales.
What if partition is in btrfs?
Probably grub.d/ could make that configurable somehow.
Why can't grub-install just copy them to $prefix/locale like it's done with e.g. modules? Not only it makes it consistent with the rest but also makes grub OS-independent if needed. I strongly oppose to grub2 reading files from usr. Now our directory structure is clean (everything in /boot/grub) and it has to stay such
