Yes, this should all be fixable.

I'm guessing this is a localization issue. The question "Proceed with
installation?" was not found to be translated, so it used the English
(hardcoded) version. However, the strings it uses to compare yes and
no against probably were, so it is expecting a "ja" or "j" for yes
(sorry if I'm screwing up German).

I think that is more for your environment to decide- It simply reads
the LANG variable and uses that language if available. If you do not
want it, you will have to reset LANG to either en, en_US, C, etc.

We'll try to get this fixed.

Hmmm, another issue to look into. In addition, that crazy
tee/build.log stuff is not needed anymore- try makepkg with the '-L'
or '--log' option.
