I get that in the latest version of the Panasonic aircon apps. They have the term "No." (with ha dot, as the column header for the column "number" in a table). So in Swedish the app says

i18n is HARD. But it's not THIS step that is hard. This is day one of i18n school. You can't translate from english terms. Just stop translating things from english, translate from a neutral key!

    key         en-US     sv-SE
    num_short   "No."     "No."
    yesno_no    "No"      "Nej"
    yesno_yes   "Yes"     "Ja"
