Comment:

 I found "Align" in `block-editor.js` as early as 5.7, for the block
 alignment settings, and the media library had the string earlier.

 The English "Align" is used as a verb, both in the media library and in
 the editor. Some translations have changed the word to a noun, which can
 be appropriate in each location.

 If the string is changed, however, I would suggest using "Align block" to
 differentiate it from the "Align text" settings that can appear
 immediately next to it. (This discussion would belong on the
 [https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues Gutenberg repository]).
