 > Thankfully, it's a bit smarter than that. :-) The version of the plugin
 is also considered. If Twenty Ten 1.5 is installed, only a translation
 designed for 1.5 (or earlier) would be installed. Try installing Twenty
 Ten 1.5 — you won't get a language pack installed. But if you update to
 Twenty Ten 1.6, you'll immediately get a pack.

 When I made the initial test, I just asked for a core update and did not
 notice that the theme was automatically updated to 1.6 (even if I did not
 want). Note that other (non-default) themes were not updated. So in some
 way you are right, the language pack matched the theme version. But not
 exactly the way you are describing. Just because in that case auto upgrade
 was acting

 I tried with:

 {{{
 define('AUTOMATIC_UPDATER_DISABLED', true);
 }}}
 in wp-config.php but that did not avoid theme update as the same time as
 core.

 I modified permissions of the theme directory to disallow theme update
 (but kept my languages directory writeable). And now as described above, I
 have unmatching themes and translations. I recognize that it's far-fetched
 and I got an 'update failed' message so I would not be surprised if
 something would be wrong late. But so far, I don't know how to avoid theme
 update at the same time as core to make the test as you described.
