Comment (by captain.crash):

 Thanks for the code. This would work of course, but again...
 I have a fully translated theme either by the author or the community and
 only need to change some wording to better fit a project's voice and tone.
 I can not just load my divergent parent theme translations anyhow?
 (Or rather let that happen automatically?)

 The correct way would be - because my parent theme translation overrides
 would wipe out all parent theme translations - to make sure I load these
 as well, really?

 If `load_theme_textdomain()` and the likes are becoming obsolete and
 loading happens automatically, why is it not looking up and loading
 translations in this order:

 - wp-content/themes/child-theme/languages/
 - wp-content/themes/parent-theme/languages/
 - wp-content/languages/themes/
