The sudo source should already provide that… … It uses either the prompt from its own po-files¹, or if that is not defined the default PAM prompt². ¹: http://www.sudo.ws/repos/sudo/file/89153025a2ae/plugins/sudoers/po ²: https://fedorahosted.org/linux-pam/browser/po In short: PAM-delivered: pt_BR "Senha:" zu "Iphasiwedi: " km "ពាក្យសម្ងាត់ ៖ " ar "كلمة السر: " da "Adgangskode: " he "ססמה: " ms "" nl "Wachtwoord: " hu "Jelszó: " gu "પાસવર્ડ: " fr "Mot de passe : " bn_IN "পাসওয়ার্ড: " ko "암호:" or "ପ୍ରବେଶ ସଙ୍କେତ: " es "Contraseña: " ml "അടയാളവാക്ക്: " sv "Lösenord: " ja "パスワード:" kn "ಗುಪ್ತಪದ: " de "Passwort: " kk "Пароль:" tr "Parola: " pl "Hasło: " sr@latin "Lozinka: " te "సంకేతపదము: " sk "Heslo: " ta "கடவுச்சொல்:" uk "Пароль: " zh_TW "密碼:" vi "Mật khẩu : " ru "Пароль: " mr "गुप्तशब्द: " pa "ਪਾਸਵਰਡ: " pt "Senha: " cs "Heslo: " hi "शब्दकूट: " sr "Лозинка: " si "රහස්පදය: " fi "Salasana: " ca "Contrasenya: " as "গুপ্তশব্দ:" nb "Passord: " zh_CN "密码:" from sudo itself: da "Adgangskode: " da "Adgangskode:" eu "Pasahitza: " eu "Pasahitza:" sv "Lösenord: " sv "Lösenord:" ja "パスワード: " ja "パスワード:" pl "Hasło: " pl "Hasło:" eo "Pasvorto: " eo "Pasvorto:" uk "Пароль: " uk "Пароль:" vi "Mật khẩu: " vi "Mật khẩu:" lt "Slaptažodis: " lt "Slaptažodis:" hr "Lozinka: " hr "Lozinka:" sl "Geslo: " sl "Geslo:" fi "Salasana: " fi "Salasana:" zh_CN "密码:" zh_CN "密码:" (in the source dir containing the po-dir, do `grep "Password:" . -R -A1 | sed s/.*Password.*// | grep po-msgst | sed "s/\.\/po\///" | sed "s/\.po- msgstr//"`) These are the ones which should be accepted, depending on the locale.
