This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The client reported an issue where the block titles in the Gutenberg editor were displaying in Swedish when adding new blocks to a Swedish page, despite the admin language being set to English.
Solution:
Our supporter clarified that when using the WPML translation editor to translate a page and temporarily switching to the second language (Swedish) to edit the page manually, it is expected behavior for the field label in the newly added block to display in Swedish. To display the translation field label in English, the client should enable the option 'Set admin language as editing language' under User > Profile. However, this change would be lost if the WPML translation editor is used to update the translation page again. The correct workflow should be to edit the page in the original language (English), save the changes, and then update the translation in the WPML translation editor.
Lastly, we informed the client that it is not possible for the translation field label in the new block to display in English if the page language is Swedish. If the client wants the block info to display in English, they should go to ACF, edit the block, change all field labels and other info to English, and not translate them in WPML > String Translation.
