When deleteing items that can't be sent to the wastebasket, the dialog mentions Trash rather than the waste basket, see screenshot

GNOME uses the term "Trash" consistently to refer to this. Is your request to have the British English localisation change to Wastebasket? Something similar to http://mail.gnome.org/archives/nautilus-list/2003-October/msg00077.html
Yes, "Trash" is a nasty American word that isn't used in Britain, my point is that some stuff in the translations refers to Waste basket, where as other stuff has been left as Trash
See also bug 322581.
In fact, this is a dupe of bug 322581, isn't it?
It isn't quite a dup, they are both about Trash vs Waste Basket, but refer to different places in the desktop.
Mentioned in https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/38229 as well.
To reiterate what I suggested in bug 322581 we could solve the root of this problem by renaming Trash to "Recycle Bin". I think we can safely confirm this is a valid issue (or if someone decides to close this as a duplicate they can summarize the relevant points expressed in this report and make sure they are reposted in the duplicate report).
#: ../src/file-manager/fm-directory-view.c:3134 msgid "Cannot move items to trash, do you want to delete them immediately?" msgstr "Cannot move items to wastebasket, do you want to delete them immediately?" This seems to already have been fixed a while ago. I found quite a few occurences of the term in the translation though. Fixed in HEAD. 2006-08-06 Bastien Nocera <hadess@hadess.net> * en_GB.po: Update British English translation, and made sure Trash wasn't left untranslated (Closes: #325088)
