Usability is, for me, broken since it takes a lot longer to scan the
Nautilus context menu with this name, looking for a way to delete files.
Trash or similar is recognized quicker.

I think Joachim has summed up the problem pretty well in this one
sentence:
In changing the 'Trash/Delete' concept to 'Delete/Permanently Delete'
you're not translating the interface, you are redesigning it, and that
isn't your job.
The attached icon is a Dustbin, a Wastebasket, heck you could

Consistency across the desktop is a very good thing to aim for.
Adopting an existing term instead of pulling a new one out of a hat is also a
very good idea.
However, the existing term you've picked is not satisfactory.
Users may be aware of what it means to delete a file, but anyone

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.

To be honest, I am in the team and have been against Deleted Items
folder ever since it became policy.
1. It's long winded.
2. It is not used in the real world
3. The capitalisation seems odd.
Mind you, I can't think of anything better than this, but Wastebasket
seemed fine, and they say If it
I'm not hugely bothered what it's changed *to* -- I picked 'Wastebasket'
because it's what Macs used to use before OS X.
'Deleted Items folder' is wordy and cumbersome, but the worst problem
with it is that it completely breaks the trash metaphor: objects in the
trash are not deleted, they are in
P.S. How about Dustbin?

I really have three main issues with Deleted Items.
1. It's a bit long and cumbersome (not the end of the world).
2. It's an oxymoron. You can't have a folder of Deleted Items.
3. Attached is the pop-up for when you press shift-delete (to delete a file,

Tom and Joachim,
Your comments are all valid, and they were raised several months ago on
the mailing list, along with many other points which you are likely
unaware of. Again, please read our archive [1] and read about our

I find mailing list archives near-impossible to read.
I've made my point as clearly as I can: Deleted items causes the Trash
interface to make no sense.
I don't see what reasons can trump that.
It doesn't seem to me like there's much point in me joining the list.

Same here. Seems to be a British English translation problem. Slightly
off-topic, but how does Rosetta work? For instance if I were to find and
fix this string, would that be applied in an update at some point?

I can't work out Rosetta so I'll leave someone else to do it. According
to the UK translation team Deleted Items is the preferred nomenclature
(https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EnglishTranslation/WordSubstitution), however I
don't think it is suitable. For a start, it loses the real-world
