Having read it again more closely, I agree the message would be clearer (and 
in some cases more accurate) with "find" and "found" instead of "return" and 
"returned"... eg:

"The request expected a file, however the directory "
"<strong>%1</strong> was found instead."

Still, this probably isn't going to be very clear to non-techincal users, 
which is why it's a good thing they should rarely see it.

BTW is it possible to get an indication of which teams have translated which 
strings? And is there a "i18n guide for programmers" which addresses all of 
my questions and more that I should have read from the start?

Cheers,

Hamish
