Initscripts will use this message (catalan)

#: /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions:467
msgid "yY"
msgstr "sS"

to scan for an input character on questions like:

"Are you sure? [y]es/[n]o"
"Esteu segur? [s]í/[n]o"

So you must ensure that both messages are using the same character. If
you tell the user to press s for "yes" in a question, but initscripts
expects "y" for yes as input, you will introduce a bug! So translate
these messages using the first letter of the translation for "Yes" and
"No".

"Well known" means "standard". It means that the service is using the
standard port, as listed on the "well known list of services". Yes,
"well  known" is a bit difficult to translate...

Hope this help!

Hackers (and creative people in general) should never be bored or
have to drudge at stupid repetitive work, because when this
happens it means they aren't doing what only they can do —
solve new problems.
