This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The client is trying to review translated pages and noticed that the tool at the top is also translated into the language of the page, instead of staying in English.
Solution:
We explained that this behavior is expected, as the admin top bar changes to the language of the site's front end when viewed in a secondary language. This is because it is assumed that the person reviewing the translation will understand the language. Additionally, we provided a tip for approving translations in bulk without reviewing each one individually. This can be done through WPML->Translation Management, by selecting the translations and approving them all at once.

Please note that this solution might be irrelevant if it's outdated or not applicable to your case. If so, we encourage you to open a new support ticket. We also highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If you need further assistance, please contact us in the WPML support forum.

Thank you for the screenshot!

This behavior is expected, similar to how viewing your site's front end in a secondary language changes the admin top bar to that language. It's anticipated that the person reviewing the translation will know the language.

Also, if you want to approve translations without individually reviewing each one, you can do so in bulk through WPML->Translation, just select the translations and approve them all at once.
