Computer messages
My program at some point copies certain files and creates some directories. It gives the user the following kind of messages:
"Data size to be copied: 1234 MB.
Directories to be created: 12."
Are the above messages okay? Are shorter (and as much understandable) wordings possible?
The reason why I write it like this is that I don't want to deal with the plurals of words like "byte" or "directory", which can be difficult in different languages.
