Depends mostly on how many bugs are discovered and time to fix them. 
Also translation status will be taken into account. I think in about a 
month.

The dot is an error. It's just that in C code it was at the end of the 
line. Fixed now. Thanks.

No. GRUB has integrated wrapping code. The string "---MORE---" has to 
translate to something short but this is mentioned in the comment. Other 
strings have no limit on the size. The abbreviations are used in 
original mainly in places where the abbreviation is common and quicker 
to read than the complete word (e.g. DIR). I should probably put this 
explanation somewhere in .pot but I don't know how to do it other than 
TRANSLATORS comments but they pertain to a string, not the whole .pot file.

In the messages msgstr "[L×A[×P]]", msgstr "%s è deprecata, la modalità 
VGA %d non è riconosciuta, usare \"set 
gfxpayload=LARGHEZZA×ALTEZZA[×PROFONDITÀ] prima del comando.\n" and 
msgstr "[W×H]" yes (and I've just added a comment about it)
In the messages
msgstr "Verifica il sottosistema video in modalità W×H"
msgstr "impossibile impostare la dimensione del carattere a %d×%d"
You were right to use unicode cross.
