This will simply not work for many languages.

If it doesn't, then leave the english wording and live with it. This should not prevent localizing the label for languages where it can be done. I know it creates some distinction between latin-script and others, which I'd like to avoid whenever possible, but in this case it is an hardware limitation. Unless someone is willing to create a vesa-aware bootloader that can render utf8...
