... And I think it should read "Keine ungelÃschte Nachrichten",
without the trailing "n" after "ungelÃschte".

Moreover, I'm not sure "ungelÃscht" is the right translation.
"ungelÃscht" translates to "not deleted". However, I suppose
"undeleted messages" are messages, that had been marked as deleted,
but this mark was removed (i.e. "the deletion has been undone"). In
this case, "wiederhergestellt" would be the right term, and the text
snippet would be "Keine wiederhergestellte Nachrichten".

This heavily depends on the context, and that's why I like to have
software in its native language, commonly English.
