Only Ludo knows about which exact issues was thinking, I can speak only
for myself. :-)

Messages displayed by GRUB should be localized as declared on the
operating-system with current master; menu items aren't translated yet
because I have to work more on that implementation and I couldn't reach
this release with something good, sorry. :-(

As far as my testing goes, all the bits that could lead to that are
already solved on master too.

With my translator hat on: a new tarball for TP has to be generated
before or after creating the branch (1.2.0-pre3).  If done tomorrow, I
think the translations could need a bit later than Friday to catch up;
Florian and Julien, what do you think?

Happy hacking!
