Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus

Files of a size inferior to 1 KiB (1 Kio in the French translation) show size in bytes, which is correct, but in French, the translation for "bytes" is missing: the label should read "octets" instead.

See attached screenshot.

Taken from <http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte>:
"On peut donc considérer qu'une documentation en français qui exprime la capacité de mémoire en bytes a été mal traduite. Toutefois, en anglais comme en français, si l'on veut explicitement désigner une quantité de huit bits, on utilise le mot octet ; tandis que si l'on veut exprimer l'unité d'adressage indépendamment du nombre de bits, on utilise le mot byte."
