change the name of the Trash

Live with it - you are just looking to have problems

System files and application files should be left as they are where they are

LN

Copy /System/Library/CoreServices/Dock.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/InfoPlis t.strings to any folder.
Open it in any text editor.
Change "Trash" on the first line to suit your needs.
Save.
Copy the backup to it's original location. Keep the backup as you will need to replace the file in English.lproj after some software updates.
Open the Terminal (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app) and type killall Dock

what about copy and paste? is that too hard?

Even if it does what I want I should think its surroupticious "killall" ~thanks but no thanks

lol. All "killall Dock" does is restart Dock. You can log out/in if you are so afraid of it.

What you want can only be accomplished by the kind of a harmless hack semicolons suggests.

all killall Dock does is refresh the dock.

And btw, you are being kind of a jerk. He answered your question, and you answered with a "nice answer, but i don't want to try it, looks like too much work".

By the way, this is simply a more specific example of what I said (and Rob heavily edited) [here|http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20080308075639201&query=defa ult%2Btext].
If you find my wording confusing (I know I'm not great at user-friendly writing), look at that article, it's much more understandable.

No. OS X will refer to the actual folder ("~/.Trash"), not what it appears to be called. Simply changing your language would change the name of the Trash that appears in the Dock. It is perfectly harmless to edit strings files, although (as noted in the above link) software updates may change it back. It is foolproof, but not 100% future-proof.
I didn't mention it above, but after doing this you should run Repair Permissions, just to make OS X think everything is OK.

Open Disk Utility, click on your hard drive, and click "Repair Permissions" in the "First Aid" tab.

Ha ha Steve a stewart. That was my first take on it too.

But seriously, Hamper, change some of the things sure but do strongly bear in mind what was said by LarryHN in his first post. That is some good advice there.

I'm thinking along the lines of - change something and the system looks for it and it doesn't appear - kind of thing.
I know it's OK for the trash. I'm betting that it won't work for absolutely everything though. Like the other advice says though. Make a back up of the file you are modding before modding it.
