My bad. I fixed it for e2fsck, but not for mke2fs. Thanks for
retesting and pointing out my mistake. I'll fix it for the next
release, the same way I fixed it for e2fsck. (We can still get in
trouble if there is some language where the word for yes beginsr with
a 'n', but Translations Are Hard --- it's just in this case, if the
translator doesn't keep up, and the language is wierd, it can result
in data loss.
I suppose could test for missing critical translations, and simply
abort and tell the user to "try again in English". Hmm.... I may want
to do that...
