"Yes" in Swahili it is "Ndiyo", in Arabic it's "Na'am", Greek is "Nai", ... apt on Ubuntu allows to answer with "J" for "Yes" on a German locale. But I am not sure if apt unconditionally allows to answer with "Y/N". In general I think it's a bad idea. Either allow localized input only, or Y/N only.
