If they don't speak a lot of English they won't care if it's
shopping_trolley or shopping_cart, although if it's attached to a
place that shopping usually takes place then then the shopping_ bit is
probably redundant. In any case, localised preset naming makes the
issue irrelevant...

Also "trams" aren't called trolley's the world over, although OSM
refers to it as light rail to avoid the confusion I suppose.
