"Proceed with installation? [Y/n]" wants K or E instead. #436

The same bug happens with Dutch, where it wants J instead of Y (Ja is Yes in Dutch). |

This is a translation issue, related to pacman being translated while pacaur doesn't have support for these languages yet. As translations are purely community made, I won't spend time on that issue. Someone should send a translation (see howto in |

I'm currently working on a Dutch translation. :) |
|
Great, I'm looking forward to it! |

Workaround: create alias which sets In case someone is interested in doing Finnish translation, I started one but I am not comfortable with my translations and the messages are more understandable in English anyway. |

4.6.x - maintenance,
5.0.x - later,
4.7.x - new features

Would it be an option to check for the existence of a translation before using |

No, because this translated string is passed to pacman during the install/update operations. |

Based on Mikaela's translation here is more complete: https://gist.github.com/durazell/2a218f960b3aaeca933c3112920066ef. I think it would be better to add global y/n support, yaourt supported both y/n and k/e which was more logical (many programs do this). |

I use Arch in Finnish and when I installed pacaur, I was confused on why it just quit when I answered
yorn. Then I triedkand the installation continued and latereso it was aborted.K is Kyllä (Yes in Finnish) and E is Ei (No in Finnish).
