First bootup 2-letter language asked in initrd
The method used to translate the scripts in the initrd has varied over the years. At one stage, I tried the gettext method. Prior to now, it has been the "sss" method; "simple string substitution", in which the strings in a script are completely replaced, resulting in a non-English script.
The latter method is clumsy, for various reasons. For example, if you want to change the scripts to a different language, copies of the original scripts in English have to be kept -- though, I have implemented a devious method of translating the non-English script back to English, then to another language. There are other problems also.
