Bug Description

* Impact
The memory test grub items are not translatable

* Test case
The translatable strings should be listed on launchpad so they can be included in the next language packs exports
https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/memtest86+

* Regression potential
There is no actual change but launchpad enforce an source upload for the initial import of a template (and it didn't happen because the sharing setting was wrongly set, which is fixed now)

----------

Currently grub menu contains strings which still untranslated:
"Memory test"
"recovery mode"

I searched them in launchpad grub translation and didn't found. After that I searched in Ubuntu 20.04 Beta disc. See my results for Ubuntu Beta:

$ grep -Ril "Memory test" /mnt/cdrom
/mnt/cdrom/isolinux/bootlogo
/mnt/cdrom/isolinux/en.hlp
/mnt/cdrom/isolinux/f3.txt
grep: предупреждение: /mnt/cdrom/ubuntu: каталоги рекурсивно зациклены

igor@igor-SVF15A1S9RB:~$ grep -Ril "recovery mode" /mnt/cdrom
/mnt/cdrom/casper/initrd
/mnt/cdrom/casper/initrd-oem

Yuri Chornoivan also make some investigation:
1. "Memory test" is from Debian patch to memtest86+ package

http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/m/memtest86+/
memtest86+_5.01-3.1ubuntu1.debian.tar.xz

Can be translated via Debian bug reporting system, but got lost somehow.

2. "recovery mode" is from Ubuntu patch to grub2

http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/g/grub2/
grub2_2.04-1ubuntu26.debian.tar.xz

It's in /debian/patches/mkconfig-recovery-title.patch

Bug report:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1240360

Patch:

https://nest.parrot.sh/packages/debian/grub2/blob/
0008378d0c2d957b8ff941a44ad74ad4f617266c/debian/patches/mkconfig-recovery-
title.patch

As you can see (line 48), it is not extractable and not translatable.

Sebasian, I also found that all strings in grub recovery menu are untranslated at all, but before they were translated. See attach

Also there are a lot of artifacts. It seems it is bug too.

The grub issue, I've tried to add a line
'gettext "recovery mode" to utils/grub-mkconfig.in
but for some reason that's not picked up/listed in the template after a build

Hello, Brian! I already installed new memtest86+ from focal-proposed.

It seems translations haven't extracted to launchpad yet: "No translatable templates available
". See https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/memtest86+
Also it recommends using https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/focal/+source/memtest86+/+translations which is empty too

Which of them should I use when translation will arrive?

This is a no-change rebuild so I am not considering this verification-failed as an issue with releasing the other changes.
