Loads plugin and theme text domains just-in-time.

When a textdomain is encountered for the first time, we try to load the translation file from wp-content/languages, removing the need to call load_plugin_textdomain() or load_theme_textdomain() .

$domain string Required

Text domain. Unique identifier for retrieving translated strings.

bool True when the textdomain is successfully loaded, false otherwise.
