Looks like the string is translated. Is that a concern?

  Warning message when installing in EFI mode to a BIOS disk is horribly

Bug description:
  When installing in EFI mode to a disk that is partitioned without an
  EFI system partition, you do get a warning message that this may cause
  a problem and suggests that you go back and do a bios mode install
  instead.  The way that it is worded, and the fact that the button to
  switch to a BIOS mode install is labeled "cancel", is very confusing
  and has lead to hundreds, if not thousands of users clicking the OK
  button instead, and proceeding with an install that is doomed to fail.
  This message really needs to be clarified.
