[Ubuntu-l10n-eng] [Bug 406626] Re: Deleted Items Folder inconsistently named

[Jonathon Fernyhough]

The reasoning is sound, but in the UK we don't have "trash" or "garbage"; we
have "rubbish". Therefore settling for Trash would be a little inaccurate.
How about a "Bin" or "Rubbish Bin" instead?

<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:
