I think this is one of the possibilities. Giving support to script in
form like this:

menuentry $gettext("My menu entry text") {

}

Though gettext is not perfect in all places, but could be enough for us.

I am still wondering what are the features of the scripting language.
Marco could you write some summary of your ideas somewhere and some
syntaxical examples?
