Placing this file in the mu-plugins directory will prevent WordPress auto updates from overwriting translation files in the global "languages" directory at
wp-content/languages.This applies to core translations directly inside the folder, plus theme and plugin translations inside "languages/themes" and "languages/plugins" respectively.
Note that translation files inside the actual themes and plugins will being overwritten regardless.
