Defer theme name translations to avoid early textdomain loading - #625
Merged
Conversation
Theme names were translated via __() during registration at plugins_loaded, before translations are available. This triggered a _load_textdomain_just_in_time warning since WordPress 6.7. Register theme names as plain strings and add a friends_theme_name filter that each theme hooks to provide its translation at display time. External themes can use the same pattern.
