Description

Perhaps this is related to #49971, which I find fascinating that a platform of 20+ years hasn't quite sorted out language use case support.

On my us-EN site, with my admin profile set to English interface, if I set the site language to Italian for example, a collection of seemingly random menu links change from English into Italian. All the content is still in English however.

Make this make sense to me.

There are more menus that shown in the screen capture that are a mix of English and Italian link.

admin links to be specific are changing into Italian

Hi there and welcome to WordPress Trac

Since you are on WordPress.com, are you able to reproduce this on a fresh self-hosted WordPress installation? If not, I recommend reporting this on WordPress.com instead.
