 On `/wp-admin/includes/admin.php` line 16, if admin.php is accessed
 directly or via any path that doesn't have the proper includes, the
 following error is emitted:

 `Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function get_locale() in
 /var/www/html/wp-admin/includes/admin.php:16 Stack trace: #0 {main} thrown
 in /var/www/html/wp-admin/includes/admin.php on line 16`

 Although it's not crucial, bots, scrapers, malicious users, and
 misconfigured aspects of WordPress or plugins can trigger this error
 making admins think that something is broken with the website. If
 something shouldn't be called directly, or only with certain parameters,
 that should be coded as such without assumption.

 I18N: Always pass $locale to load_textdomain().

 In [53874] the optional `$locale` parameter was added to
 `load_textdomain()`. While most `load_textdomain()` calls in core were
 were updated, some were missed. Passing the original locale avoids the
 need to call `determine_locale()` by `load_textdomain()` which is used as
 a fallback.
