I can confirm this issue and am subscribing the French translators.

** Changed in: nautilus (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Triaged

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: nautilus
  
  Files of a size inferior to 1 KiB (1 Kio in the French translation) show
  size in bytes, which is correct, but in French, the translation for
  "bytes" is missing: the label should read "octets" instead.
  
  See attached screenshot.
+ 
+ Taken from <http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte>:
+ "On peut donc considérer qu'une documentation en français qui exprime la 
capacité de mémoire en bytes  a été mal traduite. Toutefois, en anglais comme 
en français, si l'on veut explicitement désigner une quantité de huit bits, on 
utilise le mot octet ; tandis que si l'on veut exprimer l'unité d'adressage 
indépendamment du nombre de bits, on utilise le mot byte."
