Yes, I meant when running mp from commandline, no X running.
rodin.s, thanks, I'll check out your alternative console fonts.
Well, I have implemented internationalization of the initrd in Woof, and built Racy 5.2.2.6 to test it:
http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=02691
Note though, I used L18L's original technique of simple sed expressions. The implementation is extremely simple, you can see the 'init' script online:
http://bkhome.org/fossil/woof2.cgi/artifact/ce14b27c841e5648fcd24bcb6072fd8fd83a47d6
The /locale/de/init translation file in the initrd is not online as it gets generated by 3builddistro in Woof, from this file:
http://bkhome.org/fossil/woof2.cgi/artifact/dae5c7f30c92868ca94d3485fe0cd7709a624016
...note, the comments in the [general] section are slightly wrong, the translation actually happens at every boot, and all other SSS domains are now using the same simple sed expressions technique.
A language-choice menu is not required in the initrd, as Woof now is able to edit the initrd.gz and insert file /PUPPYLANG -- except for case of booting off CD -- in that case, you are stuck with the English messages at early-bootup, but as soon as execution gets to rc.sysinit then translation will kick in.
Note also, keyboard layout gets set to match the language, unless set by pkeys boot param or file /PUPPYKEYMAP in initrd -- important in situation where have to enter a password for encrypted save-file.

whenever I have had issues with ncurses based interfaces, it was either:
a. the app needed ncursesw (unlikely if it works in X)
b. the incorrect terminfo was being exported and used ... I would guess that you need /usr/share/terminfo/l/linux and export TERM=linux in the initrd and init script respectively

Before putting it into init one can try.
I have tried:
and the left borderline of menu was displayed
This was in racy 5.2.2.6
äöü
- is correct on command line
- not in mp editing
Is there a ncursesw.pet ?
Not found in PPM

And slightly faster without g.
But password should become
s%"Password: "%"Paßwort: "%g
because translation has to happen more than once.
(And tell the translator to NOT remove g)
Compliment, you have also solved the problem of
done
using
"done"

I think that the "g" only applies to the same line. That is, will translate multiple occurrences of "Password: " on the same line. If "Password: " is on different lines, then "g" is not required.
