Description:

mkfs.ext4 asks for the wrong response so users are confused as they press the wrong key to proceed.

Steps to reproduce:
[user@localhost dev]$ sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/mmcblk0p1
mke2fs 1.43.4 (31-Jan-2017)
/dev/mmcblk0p1 hat ein vfat-Dateisystem
Proceed anyway? (y,N) y
->mkfs will abort as y as read just like N

[user@localhost dev]$ sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/mmcblk0p1
mke2fs 1.43.4 (31-Jan-2017)
/dev/mmcblk0p1 hat ein vfat-Dateisystem
Proceed anyway? (y,N) J -> for German locale
Geräteblöcke werden verworfen: erledigt

That is because the translation has the fuzzy flag set:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/ext2/e2fsprogs.git/tree/po/de.po#n7107

Feel free to fix the upstream translations.
