Title:
  Alert text is awkward when trashing a folder on a server

Status in Nautilus:
  New
Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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. :-)
