try hitting the arabic letter for "yes" (it is U0646).
I will redo all the arabic locales in order to also add "yY" for the yesexpr;
and "Nn" for the noexpr.
To see what the problem is, you can issue the command:
locale -c yesexpr noexpr
it shows what are the letters recognizable as a postive (respectively negative)
answer to a yes/no question.
$ LC_ALL=ar locale -c yesexpr noexpr
LC_MESSAGES
^[ن].*
LC_MESSAGES
^[ل].*
As you can see, the arabic locales only define arabic letters for those.
Imho the yY and nN should always be used, unless impossible. I'll report the
bug to the glibc mantainers.
(it is fixed in the upcoming locales locales-2.3.2-5mdk)
Thanks
