problem with pacman localization

I wanted to mention this for a whole month, but I just kept postponing and forgetting it .
I had installed Arch in my wife's netbook, with Greek locale (el_GR.utf8). When I used pacman to upgrade packages, I had to answer with yes or no if I wanted to proceed with the upgrades. To my surprise, and after trying the logical shortcuts to give the positive answer - the English "y" and the Greek "ν" from "ναι", which means "yes" - I had to type the full Greek word "ΝΑΙ", which means "YES". This is confusing and should be corrected. I think the more logical thing to do is to keep the convention untranslated (Y/n).

How can we fix this?
