Public bug reported:

nautilus 1:3.1.4-0ubuntu3, Ubuntu Ocelot

1. In Nautilus, choose "File" > "Connect to Server", and connect to a server that you have write access to.
2. Create a folder on the server.
3. Drag the folder to the Trash in Nautilus's sidebar.

What you see:
* 'Cannot move file to the Trash, do you want to delete it immediately?"
* 'The file "test2" cannot be moved to the Trash."

What's wrong with this:
* The sentence is grammatically incomplete, which saves only one word.
* It's a run-on sentence.
* The secondary text uses Ascii quotes.
* The secondary text doesn't add any new information to the primary text, except the filename, which could just as easily go in the primary text.
* Neither of them explain *why* the item can't be moved to the Trash.
* Most obviously, both primary and secondary text incorrectly refers to the folder as a "file".

What you should see:
* '“test2” can’t be put in the Trash, because it is on a server. Do you want to delete it immediately?'
* No secondary text, because there's nothing else to say. :-)
