The global blocking tool has severe accessibility limitations by having block messages only in one language. We need a solution to be able to provide useful information to all users regardless of their ability to speak English or not - which is the language exclusively used in global blocking messages. A potential solution would be to address T243863, allowing us to create multilingual templates with information on the nature of the block and how to proceed with an unblock request.
