Not sure all languages would use the same translation of "Move" as in Move 
menu that "Move" as in "do a movement", so this context is specifically aimed 
as "Move" as in Move menu. If other programs need Move translations for "do a 
movement" they should use a different context as the translation is 
potentially different.
