[Pkg-shadow-devel] translation issue

[Johannes Rauh]

Hi there,

the German translation of grpck just confused me.  It asked me:

Gruppe disk: Kein Benutzer gentoo
Mitglied »gentoo« löschen?

which means roughly "Do you want to delete member ``gentoo''?".  No the
natural reaction to this would be, in German, to answer "j" for "ja".
However, the program expects "y" for "yes".

Many other translated programs I know also accept "j" for "yes", so it
would be nice to include this feature here, too.  The alternative would
be to change the translation text to make clear, what kind of
alternative responses the program expects, e.g.:

Mitglied »gentoo« löschen (y/n)?

Cheers!

Johannes
