Package: gnupg2 Version: 2.1.8-1 Severity: normal Despite being a native English speaker, I run my system in Spanish to improve my technical Spanish. When trying to generate a test key, I noticed that the user interface prompts for input in English, but refuses to accept the English values:
vauxhall ok % gpg --gen-key --expert

GnuPG debe construir un ID de usuario para identificar su clave.

"Tester <tes...@test.tld>"
Change (N)ame, (E)mail, or (O)kay/(Q)uit? o
Change (N)ame, (E)mail, or (O)kay/(Q)uit? o
Change (N)ame, (E)mail, or (O)kay/(Q)uit? o
Change (N)ame, (E)mail, or (O)kay/(Q)uit? q
Note that GnuPG does not quit when given "q", and does not continue when
given "o", despite the text. I finally determined that "s" (salir; exit)
quits, but it's unclear to me what text I should use to continue.
Regardless, either both the prompt and the input should be translated,
or neither. As it stands, it's very confusing for the user to try to
guess what GnuPG expects.
