Hello, Currently, keytool accepts input only in English, even though the options labels are localised. This raises the question: Should the options also be localised in accordance with user's language? We basically have two choices: 1. Localise the options and accept input in the corresponding language 2. Keep the options uniform in English and accept only English input Some languages require input via an IME. For example: - In japanese, "いいえ" must be typed as "iie". - In chinese, "否" must be typed as "fou" and then selected from candidates. Performing this kind of input can be cumbersome in a console environment, so I personally prefer the second approach: keeping options in English. Currently, some options are incorrectly localized (i.e., the program does not accept input in these languages): German, French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese (pt_BR), Swedish, Chinese (CN/TW). I am planning to create a patch to unify this behavior and would like to discuss which approach would be preferable. Thank you, D.Yamazaki
