Doesn't Chinese have understandable localizations for affirmative/negative responses like "是" and "没有"? I don't see the problem.


That's roughly like putting [OK] and [Cancel] into a dialog box that asks "Do you want to save this document?". Perfectly understandable but awkward, somewhat confusing to non-tech people--in a word, unfluent. Answering such questions in Chinese (and I imagine, in Welsh) requires the verb that was used in the question.
