Not a problem for me, I’ve converted them to Rubbish Bin anyway :)

That's the point indeed. I guess this is just a mistake from the developer
but when the original string changes this will cause your translation to
be marked as "fuzzy" and as such it will not be used when the strings are
presented. So if we decide to update it the translators have to revisit
all those strings or they will be in en_US. NOT very good, it's a trade
off - a more consistent en_US and maybe some translations have a mix up
too because their language uses that. For en_GB that's not true, not for
sv either ("papperskorg") and I guess alot of us around uses the same. A
change in original is a consequence in the other end. That's all.

Ah, I’m new to this translation lark so didn’t realise the full extent of the problem. You are correct it does need to be consistent.
