Bug Description

Hello,

while testing the current daily live image of Kubuntu Focal, I discovered that the menu entries of the boot menu got wrong translations.

Steps to reproduce:

- Boot from USB stick with live image (System without UEFI)
- After BIOS setup finished, press F2 to open the "Select language" menu
- Select "Deutsch"

Now the boot menu entries are translated, but with wrong translations (see also attached screenshots):

English | German (wrong)
--------------------------------------
"Start Kubuntu" ---> "Nur freie Programme" (Only free software) right translation: "Kubuntu starten")

"Start Kubuntu (safe graphics)" (this one is not translated)

"Check disc for defects" ---> "Edubuntu installieren" (Install Edubuntu) right translation: "Datenträger auf Fehler überprüfen")

"Test memory" ---> "Kubuntu starten" (Start Kubuntu) right translation: "Arbeitsspeicher prüfen")

"Boot from first hard disk" ---> "Edubuntu im Textmodus installieren" (Install Edubuntu in text mode) right translation: "Von der ersten Festplatte starten")

The line at the screen bottom which lists the action of the function keys seems also mistranslated.

If I select e.g. the first entry "Nur freie Software", it does what the english version of the first entry says (--> Start Kubuntu). So it seems that in german all entries got the translation of a different menu item assigned (e.g. menu item 4 got the translation of menu item 1).

Kind regards,
Jan

Thanks for reporting.

Marking confirmed based on the screen shots. Looks like some of these texts are translated in https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gfxboot-theme-ubuntu. I searched for a couple of them in the German translations, but they seemed ok. Not sure if they have been fixed already or if the translations are applied to different strings somehow.
