Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 Thanks for the ticket!

 Replying to [ticket:52656 sudar]:
 > It would be nice to have a consistent naming convention between theme
 and plugin or at least provide a way to override the expected .mo file
 name using a filter.

 As noted above, this was improved for files loaded from the `wp-
 content/languages` directory in [37414] / #34213, they all have a
 consistent name of `{text-domain}-{locale}.mo`.

 You can also use the
 [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/load_textdomain_mofile/
 load_textdomain_mofile] filter to override the expected `.mo` file name.
