English translation:Moving the capital (from.... to ....)
Explanation:
Moving the capital (from.... to ....)

I have heard this term repeatedly in media.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indonesian_future_capital_prop...

A proposal to move the Indonesian capital city from Jakarta to other locations has been discussed since the Sukarno presidency


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_purpose-built_national...
Capital of Brazil moved from Rio de Janeiro to Brazilia

I doubt if English speakers ever use "transfer" for this situation.
