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

[Archeleus]

Trash is American usage. What gmail uses is dependant on your English
<GB/US> setting and here we are talking about GB.

I am in support of Mr Borchardt who said that "<anything> bin" is too long.
Just bin would be fine if you don't mind the .bin extension.
