Bug Description
In location ../app/
there is a line:
"Network Error"
"Ubuntu suggests you check your network settings and try again."
It is hard to translate such string, where Ubuntu is talking with user, and give him advice.
It is very confusing, as for other core application, Ubuntu is not talking with user.
I would propose some simple sentence:
"Network Error"
"Check your network settings and try again."
--- --- --- --- --- ---
UX Comment:
Agree that the message suggested by Bartosz & Victor is more appropriate/ would be more easily localised.
Message should read
"Please check your network settings and try again"

I took that string almost verbatim from the Web browser app [1] used for the same error condition. But I agree and don't like the phrasing very much. It'd be nice to get UX input. Adding them as affected.
