Actually, the first string could stand on its own just fine, but the
second and the third should be joined. Don't forget that the spirit of
gettext is translating full sentences when possible, and semantically
complete messages when not. Otherwise the translators can get lost with
usually ridiculous consequences. By the way, I offer myself for the
Spanish translation;

msgid "Use the %C and %C keys to select which entry is highlighted."
msgstr "Utilize las teclas %C y %C para seleccionar la entrada
resaltada."

msgid ""
"Press enter to boot the selected OS, 'e' to edit the"
"commands before booting or 'c' for a command-line."
msgstr ""
"Pulse Enter para iniciar el SO seleccionado, 'e' para editar la"
"lista de comandos antes de arrancar, ó 'c' para abrir un intérprete."
