Translation note requested for a block to avoid mistranslations.

Could a translator note be added on this string? Since it's a bit unclear if the string: "Block HTML" is meant as an HTML block or if it's an option that blocks HTML in a block.

Thanks!

As translator, a big +1 on this. Even English has some confusing ambiguities, especially when little or no context, like block as a noun and block as a verb. And wouldn't "HTML Block" be more precise?

Replying to NekoJonez:

Since it's a bit unclear if the string: "Block HTML" is meant as an HTML block or if it's an option that blocks HTML in a block.

I think it's neither of those, as this applies to any block widget and not just Custom HTML block. My understanding of this label is "HTML code of the block", see 54110.png​ for more context.

Wouldn't "HTML for Block" describe it better?

All the more reason to add a translation note... Since now we have 3 possible options. Thanks @johnbillion for the milestone 5.9 and such. This might be a small one to fix and do but will help us translators quite a lot :D

QQ: is this from the Gutenberg plugin implemented into core...? If so, maybe we should make a github ticket so it's in the Gutenberg plugin as well.. Just thinking out loud.

This problem comes from Gutenberg ​https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/blob/d998eb9616fdd09102a2e953964ed004aa001e99/lib/class-wp-widget-block.php#L200, so I have added this comment in this PR ​https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/34840

In 51814:

I18N: Add a translator comment to clarify the "Block HTML" string in the Block widget settings form.

The string refers to HTML code of the block, not an option that blocks HTML.

Follow-up to [50995].
