Same problem as for folders: it does not look grammatically correct
for some languages.

Even more, it is wrong to concatenate strings like that when
localizing because various languages may require different layout of
string and number ("1 xxx" vs "xxx 1" vs "xxx 1 yyy"). Typically
string to translate should look like "%d folders" and be sprintf'ed
to the number. My book has more info on this topic.

-1 to the patch for now. I'll make a replacement patch for both bugs.
