 I've recently switched my two plugins to use WP language packs for their
 translations. Somehow, the translations did not seem to work on my site. A
 closer look at /wp-content/languages/plugins/ of the production
 installation has revealed that directory to be empty, in contrast to the
 local MAMP installation I use for development. Language packs for themes
 and WP itself are present in both installations.

 While i can't be completely sure (the production installation obviously
 has WP_DEBUG turned off and the error log is empty), the most salient
 difference between the two is the fact that the production environment is
 a multisite network.

 Note: The bug would also appear to have been present in previous versions
 of WP, but I only looked after the site had already been upgraded to 4.4.
