Comment (by swissspidy):

 If you don't need the plugin data to be translated, pass `false` as the
 third argument to `get_plugin_data()`, e.g. `get_plugin_data(
 'foo/bar.php', true, false )`. Then WordPress won't attempt to load the
 translations.

 First and foremost you should not be calling `get_plugin_data()` too
 early. If you get a PHP notice because of it, it means you are calling it
 before `after_setup_theme` or `init` fires. So if you move your call to
 after `init`, these notices should not appear.

 Hope  that makes sense :-) Please let me know if you encounter any issues
 while doing so.

 There will be a dev-note post about this change as well where I'll try to
 provide some concrete examples too.
