Yes, making "historic" translation sets would be a good alternative to
maintaining questionable "features" of Blender. Someone can make a
language target called "Ton".
I heavily favor the word "Move" to "Grab" -
Grabbing sounds like a selection action to me, not a manipulation.
As to languages, can keypress mappings be connected to translations,
such that the key letter is always in the word?
