Dear Maintainer,

the string "Cowardly refusing to create an empty archive" is not translated
very well in Italian.

I believe my patch is a more faithful translation, that keeps the funny tone of
the original string.

Description: Proper translation for cowardly
 Cowardly was inconrrectly translated, depriving the Italian message
 of the funny tone that the original has.
 .
 This fixes it by properly translating cowardly, without paraphrasing it into
 "total refusal".
