Description
While translating 4.8 strings, I noticed that strings for missing attachments in the new media widgets do not refer to the same thing:
We can’t find that audio file. Check your <a href="%s">media library</a> and make sure it wasn’t deleted.
We can’t find that image. Check your <a href="%s">media library</a> and make sure it wasn’t deleted.
We can’t find that video. Check your <a href="%s">media library</a> and make sure it wasn’t deleted.
We can’t find that file. Check your <a href="%s">media library</a> and make sure it wasn’t deleted.
In two occasions we only use media type, but once we use "file" alongside of it and once we only use "file" and remove any mention of media (type).
I propose removing "file" completely and just using type of media. Second possibility is to always use "file", though I don't see that as needed.
@dimadin the reason for “audio file” is that according to my English ears, audio isn't a count noun, unlike images and videos. It sounds strange to talk about “an audio”. See https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/40429/if-i-can-say-videos-may-i-also-say-audios
