I'm sorry, new strings again. The drive/volume label translations are
also handled by libexo now, since the appropriate HAL functions, which
used to do this, have been deprecated. A missing translations isn't that
worse here, since the english device label is usually pretty
descriptive, even for non-native computer users.

There are certainly a few with volume/device in them. What's important
is to translate volume/device consistently (including xfdesktop as
well), otherwise things will be confusing (I noticed that while testing
the inconsistent german translations).
