** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  
  The menu is garbled in recovery mode when using Chinese characters.
  
  [Test Case]
  
  1. Install Ubuntu with selected Simplified Chinese language.
  2. Boot to recovery mode.
- 3. Most character won't be seen and appear in a square shape.
+ 3. Most character won't be readable and appear in a square shape.
  (See "Bug attachment" for a screenshot)
  
  [Regression Potential]
  
  Regression risk is low.
  
  The fix simply, in Recovery mode only, default the system variables to
  something the console can output when detecting a blacklisted LANG in
  lib/recovery-mode/l10n.sh
  
  It doesn't affect/modify/change/... the system variables when booting in
  "normal" mode.
