[Bug 406626] Re: Deleted Items Folder inconsistently named in en_GB localisation

 

To be fair I think the inconsistency with the "the" came about when I
was translating all of the original texts to Rubbish bin I kept a "the"
when it was a wordy text such "Do you wish to send this to the Rubbish
Bin" where as if it was an action/command "Send to Rubbish Bin" I missed
out the "the". Could be my East London dialect that makes that sound OK
without the "the"? I guess this means I aggree with Vish as he is
talking mainly of the menu items (i.e. actions/commands).

Bug description:
The deleted items folder is inconsistently named and is referred to as both Wastebasket and Deleted items, Ubuntu offers to 'Empty Deleted Items' but the window is headed Wastebasket. The URL to deleted items is also trash:/// in nautilus but this is possibly a seperate issue. An effect of this can be seen in #115661 also.

This could confuse new users and it should be a simple enough fix simply changing strings, so I believe it is a papercut.

from the Doc Team: the recommended term is now "Rubbish Bin"!
