Thanks for the PR! I think we should also localize the labels on the front end. |

What?
Closes #70193
Makes all social icon titles in the Social Icons block translatable by wrapping them with the
__()internationalization function.Why?
Currently, all social icon names are hardcoded in English, creating a poor user experience for non-English WordPress users. Words like "Link", "RSS Feed", and "Mail" are not proper nouns and should be translated into different languages. Even proper nouns may have different representations in some languages (e.g., "YouTube" appears as "يوتيوب" in Arabic translations).
This breaks the localized experience and makes the editor less accessible to non-English speakers who see English text mixed with their native language.
How?
