Non-fatal booting error in F17/F18

[Max Pyziur]

Greetings,

On bootup, just before the GRUB screen is shown there is a quick 
error/message; it's difficult to record the flash, but it is something 
like:
error: /grub2/locale/ ???  ?Missing File?

Is there some sort of validation check that takes place, looking for some 
sort of match of files located in /boot/grub2/locale/ ?

Thanks.

I get the same or a similar error on F18. It flashes by too quickly 
to read it.

I researched this a few months ago with the help of my phone camera.
It is nothing to worry about, just GRUB complaining about a missing
locale (i.e. translation) file.
