System

    I’m using the Loco Translate plugin to translate a plugin, but initially I sent the translation to both the system folder (languages/plugins) as well as the author’s folder (plugin/languages).
    As I realized that the translation only worked on the author’s folder, I deleted the file from the system! But the issue is that the file always appears again in the system, giving a translation error on the frontend of my site!
    I delete it several times a day, but the file always appears in the folder again!

    Are you asking a question?

    Loco Translate does not control your WordPress auto-updates. You will have to disable them, or control them with filters.

    Also, WordPress gives priority to “system” translations over author-provided translations. Loco Translate cannot control this order of priority either.

    The recommended way to add your own translations is as documented: https://localise.biz/wordpress/plugin/custom-translations

    No, I did not refer to WordPress updates!
    I said that at all times the translated file appears in the system folder, that is, languages/plugin, no matter how many times I delete this file, it will always appear alone, without me doing anything!
    In the end, when I check, I have the same file in 2 folders (both in the plugin/language folder and in the language/plugin folder) !
    My question is: how to prevent Loco plugin from automatically creating the file in both folders ??

    I referred to WordPress updates, because WordPress routinely installs translation files without you doing anything. My plugin does not.

    It doesn’t do this.

    If you add a new file, that’s what it creates. If you find other files magically appearing in the WordPress languages directory then I suspect WordPress is installing them.
