Gutenberg Block Strings Containing Ampersands (&) Are Not Translated on the Frontend

Overview of the issue

When you translate Gutenberg blocks whose translatable text contains an ampersand (&), the translated strings are not applied on the frontend. Even though the translations appear correctly completed in the Advanced Translation Editor, the original-language text is still displayed on the translated page.

Workaround

As a temporary workaround, you can edit the original post using the Code Editor (instead of the Visual Editor) and replace “&” with “&” directly in the block content. After saving the post and updating the translation, the translated text will display correctly on the frontend.
