That may be the translation but nevertheless the English label 
of this action is "Move to trash", I just checked. 

But that hasn't been the question, it was about 
why the German label wasn't just "Löschen" 
and I wanted to point out that the English label for 
this action isn't "Delete" either (because this action 
doesn't delete but it puts the file into the trash).   
"Löschen" / "Delete" is a different action. 


Christian.
