Hi,
This is an interesting idea, but I don't think plymouth makes it any
easier to display CJK & Indic glyphs. (Please someone more technical
tell me if I'm wrong here, I vaguely remember this being an issue when
we wanted to add a messagse to fedup)
I hoped that it would be easier to localize plymouth compared to grub2. In
addition to that we'd also get rid of problems resulting of the
interaction between grub2 s gfx stack and the kernel/plymouth, and last but
not least we wouldn't need to maintain a theme for grub.
Yea it's not really easier. We start plymouth in the initrd, and we
don't have fonts, translations, font rendering libraries or anything
in the initrd. we could ship those things in the initrd but it would
make the initrd substantially larger.
Of course we can do localized text fine on systems that don't have
initrds, or at later points in the boot process after we've switched
out of the initrd.

May be some nice pictogram wold make it without translation.
