This email is likely to get mangled but the gist of it will
hopefully survive.

I believe the last two lines should be indented.

This one too could use some extra indentation where the description
wraps to the next line. Also it is missing an extra trailing '\n'.

Based on your exchange with Nikolay Sivov it sounds like this could be
translated.

[...same for 'No key'...]

I believe this one is a bit ambiguous because it does not make it clear
whether to type 'Yes' or 'да' (only the first character counts as the
'Yes key' anyway). My understanding is that the two standard ways to
deal with this are:
* "(Yes|No)" -> "(да|нет)" and "Y" -> "д"
This is used for languages where typing the translated strings
presents no special challenge.
* "(Yes|No)" -> "(да (Y)|нет (N))" and "Y" -> "Y"
If typing the translated strings is cumbersome for some reason (but
I guess it's not the case here).
In truth this approach is mostly used for accelerators. I guess
that's because Alt cannot be combined with characters composed
through dead keys or special input methods, and also because it
avoids trouble with accelerator collisions in case two translations
start with the same letter (like if 'Yes' and 'No' both both
translated to words starting with 'C' for instance).
