should we translate the choices y/n or not ?
It depends.
Basically many/some antiX scripts already translate command line input keys properly from y/n to j/n or in other languages e.g. s/n or whatever. Having the functions behind that translated properly is not a big deal, really. So this is the preferable option always, since it is what a user actually would expect.
In some scripts this is not done still, and in these you must still “translate” from y/n to y/n in all languages. I’d suggest to fix this shortcoming in the scripts once they are updated anyway for whatever reason so they also follow properly true translations like j/n, s/n etc.
A note in the beginning I consider not a good idea, since if a script is modified anyway for this, you can as well do it correctly by making the accepted answer translatable. As said, translating these keys functionally is not a big deal.
In any case, translators must be informed in the devnotes by the script author(s) which style they are to use in their sentences for the respective scripts, otherwise this will stay always arbitrary and wrong.
Many thanks for spotting the issue, delix02!

P.S.: Is it y/n for you or is it even z/n ? I have seen the latter also in the past on German keyboards when for English language users y/n is expected to be entered. This “translation” is even more counterintuitive.
