Reply to #9:
"Rubbish Bin" is my personal preference. It feels like an en_GB term,
and it is similar enough to the widely-seen "Recycle Bin" to be easily
understood. However, it does add yet another name to the mix.
Reiterating my last post (#10), I think that this should be fixed

This issue is the result of an ill-conceived (and I take partial
responsibility for this) and inconsistently implemented policy.
The problem we face is that different upstreams have different names for
their waste receptacles. To take GNOME and KDE (the largest desktop
projects) as a reference:

Is anyone here going to be present at the linux.conf.au conference in Sydney

This is not a bug. The change in nomenclature was a decision made after
careful debate on the ubuntu-l10n-eng mailing list. This discussion
weighed a range of factors, including but not exclusive to the ones
which have been mentioned here.
Please do not unilaterally try to change the policy of the
For some reason, certain GTK+ packages such as xfce-mcs-plugins have strings
like "Button Label|Display". This is an error which will be displayed
verbatim in the application(s) concerned. The solution is to remove the
prefix "Button Label|" from your translated version.

ese terms are more generic and should be
applicable just about anywhere. I ticked the 'Someone should review this
translation' box, so that we can discuss this change further if necessary. If
there are no objections, I'll remove those ticks to have the change made

The Ubuntu-l10-en-GB team has decided to follow the conventions set by
the GNOME and KDE en_GB teams in this regard. If describing a round
object (e.g. a CD or DVD), we use 'disc'. Otherwise, we use 'disk' (e.g.
a hard disk drive).
