"Yes" means "Ja" in German, so you should confirm with "j" as in pacman:
sudo pacman -S cowsay

:: Installation fortsetzen? [J/n]
in yay:
Edit PKGBUILD? [y/N]
Alternating between pressing "y" and "j" is very confusing while doing a system upgrade.
Accepting "y" and "j" would solve this issue I think.
Many thanks for yay btw!

I think this could be a better opportunity then simply translating to german, This would be a great opportunity to internationalize the project to multiple languages, like Portuguese (@Jguer sou brasileiro adoraria poder ajudar 馃槈 馃槈) ... But that would demand a rework of the messages system if they're hard-coded, (which I suspect them to be) I would love to help... But that would demand a bunch of design decisions... Like where to store the strings file, the format of the files, how to parse them, a naming scheme for the messages... What's @Jguer opinion to this?

Every string is hardcoded in yay. I'm not the biggest fan of software localisation but yay is a wrapper of a program that is indeed localized.
And the J and the Y really would disturb me if it happened to me so I'm solidary with the idea of localizing at least the response commands.
On the technical side, a map seems like the easiest way to make this work and loading the map from the desired language.
