more.

Title:
  aptitude: cli has i18n issues with prompts, etc.

Status in “aptitude” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: aptitude

  Information: 
  Ubuntu 8.04
  aptitude 0.4.9-2ubuntu5, LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8.

  When user tries to install a package, he prompted with this message:

  Необходимо получить 18,4MB архивов. После распаковки 63,1MB будет занято.
  Хотите продолжить? [Д/н/?]

  (LANG=C: Do you want to continue? [Y/n/?] ?)

  Hovewer, if user presses some of the listed keys, aptitude reacts this
  way:

  Хотите продолжить? [Д/н/?] Д
  Неверный ответ. Введите допустимую команду или '?' для справки.
  Хотите продолжить? [Д/н/?] н
  Неверный ответ. Введите допустимую команду или '?' для справки.

  (LANG=C: Invalid response.  Please enter a valid command or '?' for
  help.)

  The easy way to fix this issue is just replace [Д/н/?] with [Y/n/?] in
  ru.po file. However, apt-get uses this notation («Д/н/?») and doesn't
  have such problem, and it would be nice if two similar programs have
  similar interface.

  Good place to look at is src/cmdline/cmdline_prompt.cc:791 and couple
  of lines below.
