You’re right, that’s my bad — it would be `resource_path('languages/')`

FWIW, the translate scripts that ship with Radicle are configured for the `resources/lang/` directory

I went to test locally with translations for European Spanish (`es_ES`) and followed these steps:

1. Run `yarn translate:pot`
2. Generate `es_ES.mo` and `es_ES.po` files from `radicle.pot` in `resources/lang/`
3. Set WordPress language to Spanish
4. Added to a `mu-plugin` called `localization.php`:
```
<?php

add_action('after_setup_theme', function () {
    load_theme_textdomain('radicle', resource_path('lang/'));
});
```
5. Translations working as expected :white_check_mark:
