I didnt understand? By "Standard" , did you mean the default install
language? Actually , US english is the default language , and UK english
is optional.

I checked the lp translations too , but only translations to UK English
are needed. So i guess the default needs to be changed?

But as mpt has mentioned in the above bug report , even the UK english
will be eventually changed to "Trash".

Why i mentioned this is because, with the default the user selects
"Dustbin" and a folder named "Trash" opens, the user is being exposed to
two different terms denoting the same folder.

Status in Cairo-Dock : Core: In Progress

Bug description:
Since , i noticed that the cairo dock is cleaning up the configurations window , I thought I'd mention a couple of other simple issues:

- The "Quit" button , in the configurations window , should actually be named "Close" , since all it does is close the window. Generally , in all other applications "Quit" is used to quit the whole application including all running instances.
- "OK" and "Quit" buttons seem to perform the same function. Why have two buttons? "Close" could just replace both. 

- When user right-clicks on the dock , the Cairo-dock submenu , has too many options. 
Could the "Developer site" and the "Community site" options be moved to the "About" window? It would be easier to better explain the options and provide these links in the "About" window.

- Using the Up and down arrow icons for the Unmaximize and the minimize is a bit misleading... Ideally, the dock could use its own icons which are consistent with default metacity buttons , or not show any icons like how metacity does it. 
- Keep the unmaximize and minimize options together , similar to the options shown in the window , Would give some consistentcy to the user when using both the dock and the metacity window. [currently they are separated by the "show" option ]

PS: nice work on the new simple mode :)
