Comment (by gsexton):

 @swissspidy Thanks for replying.

 I admit, I'm not understanding the localization and this is work I did
 quite a while ago. The source for my plugin is at:

 https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/connect-daily-web-
 calendar/#trunk/captions

 The customer reports upgrading to 6.5.5 triggered the breakage. I looked
 through the changelogs and see some stuff around 6.5.3 that look related.

 In regards to https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/28197. People got
 wrapped up in the auto using languages for other locales, and ignored the
 big obvious wins they could have gotten by looking at the language. Java's
 is pretty simple and wouldn't be hard to implement and wouldn't have any
 performance problems.

 In Java, I have:

 captions.properties
 captions_en.properties
 captions_en_US.properties
 captions_en_AU.properties

 If someone from the UK visits the site, it looks for
 captions_en_UK.properties. When it doesn't find that, it tries
 captions_en.properties. If it doesn't find that, it returns
 captions.properties. It's actually a little nicer, because it will
 actually create a merged set of:

 captions_en_AU.properties+captions_en.properties+captions.properties where
 the left side is more significant. So, I can change the word "colour" in
 captions_en_AU.properties and they get that along with
 captions_en.properties.

 Anyhow, I'll try to take a look through the WP source to see how it's not
 working.
