Maybe a silly idea, but what about something like 'Thanks for the info'?
It's too long, and it's strange to thank a computer, but it should translate
easily, doesn't give the user any false expectations that anything is going
to happen when clicking the button, and it's the only button in an alert box
anyhow, so length isn't so much of a problem.
