With the proper support libraries, Da/Yes/Ha/Ja/etc/etc/etc it's trivial.

  What support libraries would you recommend?

  There really should be a "Falsehoods programmers believe about languages". One entry would be: * All languages have the word "yes".

    That's actually an interesting point. Indeed, how works internalization for Irish, for example? I mean some big international app, like Windows or something. I don't think it's trivial to customize some internal "yes/no" dialog in Windows to use different words for every question, but only for some languages.

      It probably helps that dialogs usually use "ok"/"cancel" rather than "yes"/"no". Chinese, for example, doesn't really have a word for "yes", but it does have a word/phrase meaning basically "ok" ("好的"), which is what's used on windows for those dialogs.

  Just wow. No. This couldn't be more wrong if you tried. There is literally no way to know what languages are supported, this is impossible to enumerate, and what might pass for correct at one time might be adjusted later to better reflect conversational usage. It's like insisting you could possibly know all the honorifics a personal name might have. If you think you can you're deluding yourself.
