Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gfxboot-theme-ubuntu

There is something that many translators translate wrong. In the livecd 
bootloader, upon entering Try Ubuntu there is a briefly displayed string 
"Loading Linux kernel" which many translators translate as "Loading Linux's 
kernel" (Loading kernel of Linux) which is wrong, because Linux doesn't have a 
kernel, Linux _is the kernel_. So the string should be translated to mean 
"Loading kernel named Linux" rather than "Loading kernel of Linux".
gfxboot-theme-ubuntu's translation files (.pot) should have a note about it, 
immediately after this string.
Alternatively, the message could be shortened to just "Loading..." or removed 
at all.

** Affects: gfxboot-theme-ubuntu (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
