I'd prefer not if you mean one has to reach up to the number keys to
take an action. Even the [Y/N] input seems pr-e-e-e-tty marginal to
me. We do it all the time in Japanese.
What's wrong with:
msgid "Redirection of POST content. P)roceed, see U)RL, use G)ET or C)ancel"
msgstr "POST ????????????????[P] ??????[U] URL????????[G] GET??????[C] ????"
or
msgid "%s D)ownload, or C)ancel"
msgstr "%s [D]???????????? [C]????????"
or
msgid "D)elete domain, set allow A)lways/P)rompt/neV)er, or C)ancel? "
msgstr ""
" ??????????[D]????????[A]???????? [V]???????? [P]???? ???????? [C]????????"
Besides, it prods those who have trouble remembering the keys into
learning a few English words.
