Comment (by ilovecats7):

 {{{
 theme that has online translations (from translate.wordpress.org) that
 WordPress downloaded into WP_LANG_DIR/themes/domain-locale.mo.
 }}}

 I can't seem to reproduce this. I'm using a fresh install of WordPress
 5.8, the Twenty Twenty-One theme, and when I switch the language (in
 Settings > General > Site Language), the theme strings don't change. Is
 there something else that I need to do in order for WordPress to download
 the translations from translate.wordpress.org?
