When you right click on a drive and encrypt it until that process is completed the contextual menu in the finder will say "Decrypting" this is incorrect.

1) Right click a drive in Finder that is not encrypted 
2) Click Encrypt
3) Observe

Contextual menu should report appropriate and accurately what is happening.
1) When a drive is Encrypting say that instead of erroneously reporting that it's decrypting
2) Provide user with % complete for encryption. If this information is deemed to technical or complicated to convey in UI of Finder locate it in Disk Utility somewhere. Users should have a GUI way to locate this information and not need to resort to terminal to understand the progress of such a function.
