> Actually you can put your language files anywhere you want - you just need to tell Wordpress about that folder. e.g. you can put your language files directly in your theme directory under resources/lang and add this action to setup.php: add\_action( 'after\_setup\_theme', function () { load\_theme\_textdomain( 'sage', get\_template\_directory() . '/lang' ); } );
