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

[Vish]

OK, I think my reference to the gnome HIG is a bit unfair over this
issue :-) [maybe a side-effect of replying at 3am on a Sat night :p ]

Because HIG is basically how the _default_ language style needs to be
written in Gnome UI and the default language is US English. So
everything else is just based accordingly there.

As popey mentioned, the translations need to adapt to the locale.
The local translators need to decide which sounds more apt for their locale and they weigh in on the benefits.

My non-locale view on this is that, this change *is* bringing in new
inconsistent to the items from the rest of the system menus.

However, the UK translators/users might find this an absolutely necessary change to make. 
If so, this needs to be done elsewhere too, to maintain a consistent UI. Kindly make the necessary changes elsewhere too.

Mostly, everwhere in HIG there is a reference of keeping labels short and for clear, consistent and concise labelling.

This bug is about the inconsistent naming of wastebasket and Deleted items, and was fixed when popey confirmed with screenshot in comment #90, beyond which we have piggy-backed on this bug with another issue. 
Marking this bug as fixed, while the change to add "the/a/an" can be discussed in a new a bug for all menu items.

Thanks everyone for getting this fixed! :-)
