Another (stupid) hack.
I think the name "Trash" is, well, incorrect for a icon that looks like a wastebasket (but you can name it whatever you wish). It's pretty easy, too. Just follow these steps.
1. Go to /System/Library/CoreServices/ (in the GUI) and control-click on the file named "Dock". Select "Show Package Contents" from the menu that appears. It will open a new window that contains the package contents.
2. In the new window, navigate to /Contents/Resorces/YOUR LANGUAGE/ (replacing YOUR LANGUAGE with your language) and open "InfoPlist.strings" in TextEdit. It will display text that says
TrashName = "Trash";
Just change "Trash" to whatever you want the Trash to be calledwhen you move your mouse over th icon in the Dock. Save!
3. Close the TextEdit window and open "DockMenus.plist" in TextEdit. Scroll down almost to the bottom and you will see the text:
<key>command</key>
<integer>1001</integer>
<key>name</key>
<string>Empty Trash</string>
Change the bit "Empty Trash" to whatever you want to see when you control-click on the Trash. Close all the (savin your changes) and your done! I AM KING!
One last thing: does anybody know how to change the menu item "Empty Trash..." in the Finder to "Empty Wastebasket..."? Thanks in advance!
