      There should be no differences when browsing in English to these files, but it will allow to translate it correctly to languages without this polysemy.

      An example of the new fromsender string:

      1. Enter on a course and enable edit mode
      2. Add a chat activity
      3. Enter on the chat using the "Use more accessible interface" button
      4. Write a message
      5. Check that the name of the first column of the "Messages" table still is "From"

      And another example of the new fromdate & todate strings:

      1. Enter on a course and go to the Reports tab
      2. Access to the "Activity report"
      3. Expand the Filter
      4. Check that both settings' names are still "From" and "To"

      In English "from" and "to" words are polysemic and can be used to set date ranges and to identify sender and recipients of a message.

      I've detected that 'from' and 'to' core strings are used in Moodle for both meanings, and that's an issue when translating them to other languages without this polysemy.

      To avoid this, there should be a string for each meaning and use them coherently.
