[PATCH]


Author: Thierry Vignaud <thierry.vignaud@gmail.com>

    fix nostr for "br" [BZ #21706]
    
    "Ket" is the the most used negative answer, as it's the negative answer
    to a positively phrased question
    It's used as it or with the verb ("Ne ran ket", ...)
    As such, "Ket" is used in most translations.
    "Nann" is less used as it's the negative answer to a negatively phrased
    question
    
    See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yes_and_no for explanations about
    languages with 3 or 4 form systems.
    
    We still keep "Nn" for short answers as:
    - new learners are used to "Non" in french
    - and they often misuses "Nann"
    - for compatibility with english
    
            [BZ #21706]
            * localedata/locales/br_FR (LC_MESSAGES): Fix nostr.
