Translations should be included with plugin/theme. How would you add those translations to <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; border-collapse: collapse; ">wp-content/languages/*plugin-folder-name* and later update them?</span><div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; border-collapse: collapse; "><br></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; border-collapse: collapse; ">When translations are in plugin/theme package, it means that you immediately have them without any additional work. Anything different just complicates things and is not easy for users.</span><br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hey everyone! First time using this list so be gentile. <span style="font-family:Wingdings">J</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For BuddyPress, we have a large number of users in languages
other than English, and when BuddyPress gets updated their po/mo’s are
deleted, and they are forced to redownload their translations.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I was wondering if there is any compelling reason for
plugins to NOT put their translation files into
wp-content/languages/*plugin-folder-name* and then write their own functions to
load those files, and update those files when needed.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Seems to me this would fix our problems, but I wanted to
consult with you all before giving it a go.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks!</p>
