So having a look at the desktop file specification at
http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-latest.html
you can see that Query is not part of the standard, so it does not have a
defined meaning, so someone is using in KDE as something that needs to be
translated, as said, if you want something not translatable you can always
use X-KDE-KWest-Query instead of Query

Besides translators can ALWAYS screw up things, just imagine they
translate "Do you want to remove this file" as "Do you want to keep this
file" and voila, all files removed when the user wanted otherwise.
