Bug Description

Binary package hint: digikam

Digikam version 2:0.9.3-2ubuntu1
Localisation: British English (en_GB)

If you right-click an image you get the option "Move to Wastebin"
Under the Image menu you get the option "Delete"
Both of these lead to a confirmation dialog which says "Send to Trash"

The language is inconsistent. Further, they are inconsistent with dolphin has "Move to Deleted Items folder"

Version: 0.10.0-beta8 (using 4.1.85 (KDE 4.1.85 (KDE 4.2 Beta2)), Kubuntu packages)
Compiler: cc
OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.26-5-generic

The "Delete" action in the "Image" menu should say "Move to Trash" instead of "Delete". If you right click on a picture the context menu action says "Move to Trash", and both the "Delete" and "Move to Trash" actions do the same thing. (Move things to the trash)
Deleting usually means to permanently erase the picture.

Thanks, and good work with Digikam 0.10.0. :-)
