[wp-hackers] What do you name the localization .mo when the locale is not set?

[Wordpress Developer]

Thanks Frank! I've seen code like that in the past. I haven't seen an
explanation of what /langages/$locale.php does. I don't think I have a file
like this in my theme. I can't get your code working for me yet but I'm
optimistic. Can you tell me what it does and why I need it?
