mixed english/german translation in grub menu

[Klaus Bielke]

In grub menu "advanced options" I see the list of kernels written in 2 languages German and English, for instance:

"Ubuntu, mit kernel 3.13.0-23-generic" (<-- translated to German)
"Ubuntu, with kernel 3.13.0.23-generic (recovery mode)" (<-- untranslated message 1304)
...

The english ones are all the "recovery mode" entries.

There is allready a correct german translation in launchpad waiting for rewiew since more than 4 years! (Thanks Mario Blättermann)

Triaged/Low: I can confirm the pattern strings for translation are wrong, that's why the translations are not applied correctly for the "recovery mode" case.

This is a bitesize bug (so approachable to new developers) inasmuch as one should probably be able to tweak the .po files to adjust for the new way the strings are build. This appears to be a diversion we have in Debian/Ubuntu from upstream.
