<p class=MsoNormal>Hey everyone! First time using this list so be gentile. <span
style='font-family:Wingdings'>J</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks!<o:p></o:p></p>
