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. -- Alex Blog : http://archeleus.com/blog On 25 August 2010 20:48, Cody C 406...@bugs.launchpad.net wrote: On 26/08/2010 12:01 a.m., Kazade wrote: I think most native speakers are happy with either Bin or Rubbish Bin. I'd personally prefer Bin (as I wouldn't really refer to deleted files rubbish) but Rubbish Bin is fine if we are going with the waste container metaphor. As mentioned above, gmail uses Bin and that seems very natural. Actually, I think gMail uses Trash, not Bin. Also, in my opinion, Trash sounds better. --cody -- Deleted Items Folder inconsistently named in en_GB localization https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/406626 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Documentation Project Team, which is a bug assignee.

.bin extensions should be fine. I don't know relevant here but what about /bin? I wouldn't want any newbie to do a rm * -r -f /bin thinking he was clearing the waste. -- Alex http://archeleus.com/blog On 25 August 2010 21:57, Jan-Christoph Borchardt jancborcha...@gmail.comwrote: About the .bin confusion: No normal user should ever come upon a .bin file (or file extensions at all but that’s a different story). Everyone that works with .bin files knows the difference. So, where is the confusion? @unforeseen: Compare how often .bin files come up in support cases vs. how often the word Bin is used on any interface to resemble a place for deleted files. If anything, the extension should be changed. But that’s not the point here. (Although it was quite funny seeing .bin files translated literally in the German version of the movie Hackers.) -- Deleted Items Folder inconsistently named in en_GB localization https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/406626 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Documentation Project Team, which is a bug assignee.
