--------------------------+-----------------------------
 When calling REST API endpoints such as `/taxonomies?context=edit`, the
 `labels` returned are always using the default locale of the site even if
 the authenticated user has changed its locale in his profile.

 Interestingly, if you use `WP_REST_Request` to call these same API
 endpoints with the same user, it uses the user's locale in that case.

 1- We should be consistent and always use the authenticated user's locale
 2- If we want the default behavior to be using the site's locale then we
 should have a way to pass the desired locale as an argument to these
 endpoints because in Gutenberg (using the REST API), users expect the UI
 to respect their profile's locale.
