Need some grep RE help

[Dazed_75]

Sorry, I gave a file reference for that but should have realized the reader
might not be ain a place convenient to look at their file.  Here is a
collection of some lines from one of the files:

[Desktop Entry]
Name[id]=Editor Konfigurasi
Comment[be]=Наўпрост рэдагуе ўсю базу даньняў наладак
Type=Application
Name[en_GB]=Configuration Editor
Name[zh_TW]=組態編輯器
Comment[en_CA]=Directly edit your entire configuration database

The files have mostly non-english stuff and I just want to see them more
readably.  I am sitting here with my new copy of Linux in a Nutshell but I
have not used this stuff in maybe 15 years.  Thanks for the help!
