Microsoft only really pay lip service to UK translation - most of their  
apps don't have a translation and it's still the "Recycle Bin" in Windows.  
Mac OS X is even worse - it's still "Trash". Our friends in KDE call it  
the "Waste Bin". Outlook uses "Deleted Items" and "Dumpster" (the deleted  
item's deleted items).

I don't think we'll ever get a solution that'll keep everybody happy.

In terms of liason 'twixt the Ubuntu and Gnome lists, I don't mind doing  
that: I was planning to join the Ubuntu guys anyway (once I get my  
problems with my graphics card sorted out). I'm also on the Fedora  
translation list as well.
