Title:
  Confirmation dialog not localized

Status in “aptitude” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: aptitude

  The confirmation dialog in spanish '[S/n]' also confirms with 'Y'. If
  the dialog and the options are localized, then it follows that 'y'
  should be an invalid confirmation character.
