Comment (by swissspidy):

 The main culprit for this bug is that all the blocks are registered on
 `init`, even when WP is not installed yet.

 Because blocks register scripts, that causes `WP_Scripts` to be
 initialized very early, triggering script localization of the password
 meter.

 Because of the way `wp-admin/install.php` loads translations, it's
 actually too early, and when the script localization happens it still
 thinks the locale is en_US.

 Not registering any blocks would automatically solve this issue.

 An alternative solution is to adjust `determine_locale()` to detect the
 current locale on the install screen. That's what my PR does.
