I think you've hit the nail on the head. The change from "Trash" to 
"Deleted Items" is a change in terminology, rather than a simple 
translation of the original term. I think this divergence is what is 
most worrying. If the powers that be decide that the C locale 
terminology should be changed, then I would have no qualms at all about 
the proposed translation.
