I feel embarrassed to raise this one, but in the interests of shutting

We don't translate manpages -- we'd like to, but I have no idea what
would be a good way to translate POD files.
FYI: My initial aim in packaging hivex is not so much for VM guest
usage
but because it offers a neat solution to os-probe obtaining the actual
default boot loader title from Windows BCD store partitions when
populating GRUB menus for multi-boot systems.
I didn't know BCD was also a hive, but yes it seems you are right.
The old (pre-Vista) boot loader used a text file called BOOT.INI.
You'd have thought they'd have learned their lesson!
