Matthew Paul Thomas (mpt) wrote : Re: Deleted Items Folder inconsistently named

Assigning to the English (UK) Translators. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EnglishTranslation/WordSubstitution> says that Ubuntu in UK English should use either "rubbish", "Deleted Items", or "Deleted Items folder". But calling a folder "Deleted Items" is an oxymoron: if the items were deleted, they wouldn't be there at all.

I suggest just using "Trash" consistently. It's much shorter than any of the alternatives, it's less work for the translators, and it puts an end to the situation where a partly-translated interface comically disagrees with itself. I think these are all the strings that need fixing:
