Use the `'load_translation_file'` filter to check custom file locations for the `buddypress` text domain. **NB**: this filter was introduced by WordPress in version 6.5. If there's a `buddypress-xx_XX.mo` (where xx_XX is the locale code) file into one of the following directories, it will be used to replace the default one (WordPress.org Plugin Directory / GlotPress).
…nslation_file'` filter This will be the case for WordPress 6.5 as `$locale` 3rd filter argument was introduced in WP 6.6.

Prior to WordPress 4.6, it was possible to completely override the translation file with a custom one from one of the `'buddypress_locale_locations'` filterable list items. With WordPress 6.5 latest improvements about l10n, we are now able to bring these back. Making it easier for users to customize every BuddyPress strings should help them build match their community needs (e.g.: using sport/school/working/any other wording). 3 functions has been introduced: - `bp_get_custom_translation_file()` is looking for a file name into `'buddypress_locale_locations'` filterable list items. - `bp_load_custom_translation_file()` is the `'load_translation_file'` filter callback for regular translation files. - `bp_load_custom_script_translation_file()` is the `'load_script_translation_file'` filter callback for JavaScript translation files. The `bp_core_load_buddypress_textdomain()` function has been deprecated as it was pretty useless since WordPress 4.6.
