Description

load_textdomain is triggered just before the .mo file is loaded for translation when the function load_textdomain() is called either directly or via load_plugin_textdomain() by a plugin or load_theme_textdomain() by a theme. These two functions, in turn are wrappers for load_textdomain().

Usage

<?php add_action( 'load_textdomain', 'function_name' ); ?>

where "function_name" is the name of the function to be called.

Parameters

$domain

(string) (required) The unique identifier for retrieving translated strings. For eg, for a particular plugin or theme.

Default: None

$mofile

(string) (required) Path to the .mo file.

Default: None

Example

<?php
/**
 * Example of load_textdomain usage
 * @param string $domain Unique domain for translation.
 * @param string $mofile Path to the .mo file.
 * @param array|string $args Optional args used in taxonomy registration.
 */

function log_mo_file_load($domain, $mofile){
    echo 'loading file "' . $mofile . '" on domain "' . $domain . '"';
    // or whatever else you'd like to do here.
}

add_action( 'load_textdomain', 'log_mo_file_load' );

?>
