As i said earlier, I write a software and I need to translate it correctly to English. One more question.

1. Is it possible to use

Files: 1
Folders: 8
Disks: 5

instead of

No. of files: 1
No. of folders: 8
No. of disks: 5

?
Also I use it as column names for the statistic list.

2. Is it possible to use

Contains: files: 1, folders: 8, disks: 5

instead of

Contains: 1 files, 8 folders, 5 disks

Thanks in advance.

You may want to consider something like file(s) or folder(s), to allow for 1 (the singular).
