Hi,
I’m using this plugin:
bbPress 2.5.4
BuddyPress 2.1.1

I have language file in /wp-content/languages/plugins
– bbpress-it_IT.mo and bbpress-it_IT.po
– buddypress-it_IT.mo and buddypress-it_IT.po

I edited them about my necessity, but today when I install a plugin I read:
“Some of the translations in need of updating. Wait a few seconds while we are updating.
Updated translations for bbPress (it_IT) …

Update translation performed successfully.
Updated translations for BuddyPress (it_IT) …

Update translation carried out with success.”

Why?
I can disable the update of language file o protect my language file?

Thanks.

Hi,
I try this code
add_filter( 'auto_update_translation', '__return_false' );

but this code not works, today my language files are overwritten.

Why?

Thanks.

Hi,
the problem is still present.
This morning when I upgraded my two plugin files .mo and .po bbPress and BuddyPress were overwritten …
How so?
Thank You.

Since WordPress 4.0, this happens with any plugins that have complete and updated translations. If you modify them, WordPress won’t know about it.

Really?
It’s a big problem! 🙁
