Firmware console on BIOS, IEEE1275 and ARC doesn't allow you to enter non-ASCII
characters. EFI specification allows for such but author is unaware of any
actual implementations. Serial input is currently limited for latin1 (unlikely
to change). Own keyboard implementations (at_keyboard and usb_keyboard) can
support any characters but work on one-char-per-keystroke. So no dead keys or
advanced input method. Also there is no keymap change hotkey. In practice it

In practice it makes difficult to enter any text using non-Latin alphabet.
Moreover all current input consumers are limited to ASCII.
@chapter Gettext
GRUB supports being translated. For this you need to have language *.mo files in $prefix/locale, load gettext module and set ``lang'' variable.

@chapter Other
Currently GRUB always uses YEAR-MONTH-DAY HOUR:MINUTE:SECOND [WEEKDAY] 24-hour
datetime format but weekdays are translated.
GRUB always uses the decimal number format with [0-9] as digits and . as
descimal separator and no group separator.
IEEE1275 aliases are matched case-insensitively except non-ASCII which is
matched as binary. Similar behaviour is for matching OSBundleRequired.
Since IEEE1275 aliases and OSBundleRequired don't contain any non-ASCII it
