For me, it's a lot of string fuzzying for *very* few added value. Hours
of translator work for nothing. Sorry to be so negative, but I really
don't see the point in correcting this.
I think this bug should be classified as WON'T FIX, and you could simply
instruct Nautilus devs to use non contracted form for all new strings.
