I have no objection. I guess the lubuntu guys would have some 
strong opinions in this.

On a side note. I read the english strings for PCManFM today and found a 
interesting interchange of "trash can" and "trash bin". I would use just 
one word for it if it's the same thing that's of interest here.

Line 99 in pcmanfm2.pot
#: ../data/ui/desktop-pref.glade.h:17
msgid "Show \"Trash Bin\" icon on desktop"
msgstr ""

Line 214 in pcmanfm2.pot
#: ../data/ui/pref.glade.h:24
msgid "Move deleted files to \"trash bin\" instead of erasing from disk"
msgstr ""

Line 462 in pcmanfm2.pot
#: ../src/main-win-ui.c:154
msgid "Trash Can"
msgstr ""

In libfm we find the following (the pot file is not in the tree)
#: ../src/base/fm-path.c:435
msgid "Trash Can"
msgstr ""

#: ../src/gtk/fm-gtk-utils.c:461
msgid "Do you want to move the selected files to trash bin?"
msgstr ""

#: ../src/gtk/fm-gtk-utils.c:552
msgid "Are you sure you want to empty the trash bin?"
msgstr ""


/IF/ there is a exception I would suggest to do an overview of these 
things too. I guess that for some translations the wording will not change 
too much and just unfuzzing will do.
