Comment 4 for bug 655278

I too would like to see them unified. In the meantime, however, i'm currently correcting these strings for en_GB, en_CA and en_AU.
We call the bin on the desktop the "Rubbish Bin" (this is true for en_gb, i'm not sure how much it spread from our team's work), and i've tweaked shotwell to have its bin be called "Shotwell's Bin" (which is reasonably short and to the point).

These updates will be in Saucy by default and the other series releases when their lang packs are updated. Should you wish to have your lang pack updated before this, there is a ppa updated regularly which can be added with:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-langpack/ppa

and updating and upgrading.

This bug may be considered....half done. This will no longer be an issue for (most? all?) english locale users once the lang packs update, but the route cause of the problem means that shotwell must get rid of it's bin and send deleted images to the default bin.
