Re: lynx-dev Do we need [Y] AND [N] strings? Could they be [Y/N]?

Oh, yes, been waiting for something like that.  Won't do anything then
since a much better solution is in the making.

Okay, in general, then, I'll move in that direction.  As for the
example I gave (WAIS), I propose that actually we remove gettext from
all of them since WAIS is all but dead as a protocol.  The strings
are probably more understandable in English than translated anyway.
I'll also be reviewing the lynx.po file from that point of view, i.e.,
checking for validity as a target for translation, as well.
