--------------------------+-----------------------------
 The WP_Locale_Switcher->switch_to_locale() method relies on
 _load_textdomain_just_in_time(), which uses _get_path_to_translation(),
 which uses _get_path_to_translation_from_lang_dir(), which only returns mo
 file paths from WP_LANG_DIR.

 If a plugin or theme is not hosted on wordpress.org, it does not have
 translations on wordpress.org, so switch_to_locale() fails to properly
 load those translation files.
