It's one of those cases where _we would really like_ the string to have been translated but we also want to respect that there is a string freeze on and we were just a little too late. This is a single string in a new file that makes the nautilus file browser much easier to use for blind people when used with Orca. By doing the reversion above, yes the string will now mean that the string will only be in English. I don't know of any way "to have our cake and eat it too". If there is a better way to handle this (apart from inventing a time machine and going back to last Thursday week), please let us know.
