Public bug reported:

when I run sudo `apt-get install PACKAGE`,  the apt when asking the ~
downloading this much do you want to proceed type of question ending
with "[Y/n]" choice, is localized to ask "[I/n]" in Hungarian, because
Yes means Igen and No means Nem in Hungarian. However, after typing `i`
it said Aborted in Hungarian ie. it stopped. I've tried it again with
`y` now and then it proceeded. I think localizing the question is only
meaningful if the choices are localized also. In case gettext is not
sufficient for this which I assume to be the case, may I suggest a
solution like [Y - igen / N - nem] like localization.

The expected behaviour is that standard input interpretation matches the
standard output choice description.
