en_GB users, what should "Trash" be called?

[asimon]

The Ubuntu-l10n-en-gb team (of which I am a member) voted (with a majority of 10 votes) to change what was called "Wastebasket" (Trash in en_US) to Deleted Items (folder) in Edgy and above. What do you think of this?

I think that the Ubuntu translators should use the exact same translation as the upstream translators and should not use another name. Further I think that if the Ubuntu Translators don't like the upstream translation they should discuss things with upstream and change it there.

BTW, upstream KDE calles it "Wastebin" in en_GB, I dunno know what Gnome uses.

I'd have gone with 'dustbin' too.
Or maybe 'bin man'. It could have a feature where if you don't tip it at Christmas it scatters deleted files all over your desktops.

Calling it trash is kind of stupid. Since it is a folder, I don't see why analogies have to be made to physical things such as trash or wastebasket. People will understand what a deleted items folder is just as much as when you call it trash. Why dumb it down when it isn't necessary.

The problem is, things that are sent to the "Deleted Items folder" aren't really deleted. That's what comes next...

GNOME call it the "Wastebasket".

The team didn't even notify upstream until after the decision was made (actually, only when I moaned on the mailing list), and GNOME didn't like it much.

Dustbin for me

[Sunnz]

Rubbish Bin. Really, what's so unprofessional about it?

LOL
And bruce89 - Ubuntu 'Weegie edition is brilliant!

I think Deleted Items is fine. And anyway, what's a "wastebasket"? Shouldn't it have been "waste-paper basket"? And Windows' "Recycle Bin" is kind of accurate, is it not? It's where you put files for recycling the space they take up on your HD...

[Carrots171]

I don't care. Does calling it "Wastebasket" instead of "Trash" really make a difference? It's a trivial argument and the developers should concentrate on more important things.
