I would think that this question has been discussed in this thread:

> [@Create action to move files based off genre](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/create-action-to-move-files-based-off-genre/67469/4):
>
> Try as Format string: %genre%\%\_filename%

concisely: you are the only one who knows which genre name should be replaced by which other name, so you have to supply the list.  
Sadly, we never got a reply to e.g. this suggestion:

> [@Create action to move files based off genre](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/create-action-to-move-files-based-off-genre/67469/8):

> with an increasing list of pairs to replace.
