Dokan Custom Translations (only work when System deleted)

Howdy!

So I’ve burned hours trying to get this figured out, and while I think I’ve learned a bit on the way it would seem to me that maybe (I say maybe b/c everyone here seems to think the plugin is broke, but it’s really a keyboard to chair error) I’ve stumbled on a big.

So I have a plugin called Dokan (well written, fairly large) which sits on top of WooCommerce. This DOKAN plugin calls it’s language PO files using the correct wordpress hooks and has a delivered template. I can change the existing “SYSTEM” language files no problem. HOWEVER, when I create a copy as documented on your site and modify some text, those changes aren’t being picked up.

Now, I went through all the possibilities in your FAQ/Troubleshooting section but no dice. What I find interesting though is that if I delete the SYSTEM translations, then the custom translation located in the default /language/loco/plugins folder will get picked up.

So you see, I almost feel like the default ordering where CUSTOM translations come first followed by Author and then system might not be working?

Any clues?
