Great.  Could you please attach it as a patch?  This makes it easier to
review.

Better let the user specify it.  $prefix points to the module load dir and
may not always be what user expects (this happens e.g. with grub-mkrescue).

Gettext support for utilities can be done already;  you're welcome to add it
to more of the stuff in util/, see:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2009-11/msg00273.html

For strings in GRUB itself, we need to be more selective.  There are a few
strings which we obviously want to translate, and some for which it isn't so
clear.  We can talk about this after the merge.
