Comment:

 Final update: We're using ACF PRO, and it seems there's a bug in ACF when
 combining load_plugin_textdomain and register_block_type while using i18n
 in blocks. I'm now creating a bug report in the ACF community.

 Thanks anyway!

 > Small update:
 > Found out when loading within "plugins_loaded" the language token get
 succesffully loaded.

 > When calling load_plugin_textdomain in the "init" action, the path
 doesn't get modified to plugins/path/languages.

 > Isn't init the right position to call load_plugin_textdomain? Or is it
 too late.

 /i18n-improvements-6-8/ to learn more about changes in 6.8. Though
 preventing translations from loading wouldn't be an intentional change :-)
