 Thanks to WordPress.org Language packs, plugins no longer need to ship
 with translations nor a languages directory.

 However, if a plugin simply calls `load_plugin_textdomain( 'textdomain'
 );` it causes WordPress to look for `WP_PLUGINS_DIR/textdomain-locale.mo`.

 I think we should be able to avoid looking for a translation file in this
 case.
