Bug Description

Ubuntu 8.10, all updates installed

Ubuntu's English (Australia) locale refers to the Trash as "Trash" in some places, "trash" in others, and "Garbage Bin" in others. Specifically:
* The tooltip for the icon in the panel refers to it as the "Garbage Bin".
* The title of the Trash window says "Trash", and the button in the location bar says "Trash", but the Places panel and the top banner both say "Garbage Bin".
* When ejecting a storage device where items have been moved to the Trash, the alert refers to it three different ways: "trash, "Trash", and "Garbage Bin".

there is a definite confusion on the best word to use for "trash". Sometimes "garbage bin" is used and sometimes "trash" is used.
