}
check_prereqs
validate_input "$@"
get
Run it
get_wp_lang_mp.sh -l en_AU -v 4.7 -d /var/www/wordpress/wp-content
Following code will download language file for English language and Australia and save it in WordPress installation languages directory placed in /var/www/wordpress/wp-content/languages Output language file will be called en_AU.mo .
For majority of languages, like Polish language for example, that are used in just one region of the world, you need no region:
get_wp_lang_mp.sh -l pl -v 4.7 -d /var/www/wordpress/wp-content
For the unfocused, option -l received pl instead of pl_PL as its argument in the example above.
