Re: Working gettext example for grub.cfg?

[Ronny Standtke]

Hi Jordan

Thank you for the example and sorry for the late response...

menuentry $"This menu entry will be translated!" {

  example_variable=5
  echo $"The value of \$example_variable is: $example_variable !"

  my_favorite_color_translated=$"blue"

  echo $"$my_favorite_color_translated is my favorite color!"
}

I just tried your example with grub2 (version 1.99) in Debian testing (see http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/grub2) and all I get is a bunch of error messages like:
------------------------
error: $.
error: syntax error.
error: Incorrect command.
error: syntax error.
error: $.
...
------------------------

It looks like there is still something missing. Is the $"string" gettext syntax already supported in grub2 version 1.99? Does your example need some boilerplate code somewhere else in the grub script to support this gettext syntax?

Cheers

Ronny
