Sridhar,
Consistency across the desktop is a very good thing to aim for.
Adopting an existing term instead of pulling a new one out of a hat is also a very good idea.

However, the existing term you've picked is not satisfactory. 
Users may be aware of what it means to delete a file, but anyone can see that a menu item 'Delete from Deleted Items folder' is just silly.

Your choice of term was by design, but the consequences is has are
buggy: hence the bug report.

I apologize for being too hasty initially -- you're right, I should have signed up to the list before diving in to the wiki.
But I must ask you to reopen this and address it. You've still not actually justified the specific choice of 'Deleted Items'.
In changing the 'Trash/Delete' concept to 'Delete/Permanently Delete' you're not translating the interface, you are redesigning it, and that isn't your job.
