Pull request #252 based off version-51 branch.

This translation modifies UI text to follow GNOME HIG writing style
guidelines
(https://developer.gnome.org/hig/guidelines/writing-style.html) in
English, without breaking other translations. Modifications include
header capitalization, and ellipses on the 'Change Folder' button to
indicate further action required.
Reason: The translation made no meaningful changes to the message IDs
(in terms of adapting it to locale), and was out of date anyway. It
would just conflict with the new 'en' translation for no real reason.
Reason: I think these icons better reflect the page contents.
Reason: Outside of header bars, buttons should contain either an icon or
a label, and not both
(https://developer.gnome.org/hig/patterns/controls/buttons.html).
Note: while not having labels does have a cleaner look, having labels on
the buttons allows the user to hover over them and preview the URLs
before they click on them. Also, prevents that 'ghost button' highlight
when the action row is clicked and the button is activated -- it makes
more sense for it to highlight with a label.
Reason: version_button was not a button, so its purpose is clearer as
just text in a property row.
Reason: It makes more sense to have to have the shuffle mode option in
only one place (the Settings page), than to have it appear twice. Plus,
it allows the Gallery page to shine as a place to view and manage the
user's individual Bing backgrounds, without the shuffle controls kind of
randomly mishmashed with it.
The buttons look nice this way.
