[Nautilus-list] Proposed string changes to the Nautilus UI

["Eugene O'Connor" <Eugene Oconnor sun com>]

Hello all,

I'd like to propose the following string changes in the UI. Most of these are minor changes to get consistency in our terminology: 2, 3, 8, 10-17. The rest are to change some slightly colloquial or awkward phrasing - these changes improve the clarity of the UI, and will make the job of the translators easier. 

Let me know if there are any objections - otherwise, we'll create patches for these shortly.

Eugene
