[Xfce-i18n] Ellipsis or triple dots?

Hi,

I was translating mousepad and I encountered in a small problem. Some
source strings have triple dots, like this[0]:

[FILES...]

One user, kingu, notified this issue on transifex, but it seems thet
everyone completely ignored him. So I was thinking to open a bug on
buzilla, but I prefer to ask first on this mailing list.

Should triple dots be replace by ellipsis? For example I translated that
string to:

[FILES…]

Can this change generate some problems on systems that use only ASCII
encoding?

Have a good day!
