inconsitent rubbish bin / waste basket in xfce environment

[Markus J Schmidt]

I experience an inconsistency within the translation for English (GB):

It seems that the "rubbish bin" is used for the main ubuntu programs (e.g. the folder in the file system), while the xfce applications use the term "wastebasket", as I experience it in the file manager thunar or the default icon in the desktop settings.

Yes, not to worry, i've actually just solved that this week after i found the cause. ^_^

That is to say, the offending strings were in "gtk+3.0". I originally opted for 'Rubbish Bin' a few releases ago and it's been consistent up until now; 'wastebasket' just seemed to have slipped in by accident but it's gone now.

I think there's a language update due tomorrow (for trusty's deadline - see release schedule) which should bounce it back to 'Rubbish Bin' for fellow en_gb users. (You're using british english, i assume? if not, i'll have to see what i can do!)

In the meantime, i'll have a look around to make sure this isn't happening anywhere else i can tweak.

Maybe there is a need to coordinate with British translators upstream.
