I am currently setting up a wordpress with WooCommerce. Whenever I modified translations in the file wp-content / languages / plugins /, wordpress was updating automatically translations and he overwriting my modifications. I resolved this issue with this solution and I had to leave Loco translate to poedit (it’s pity, because your pluging is very good). The files in folder wp-content / languages / plugins / should not change, but this does not seem to be the case for WooCommerce …
Hello,
I read this in woothemes :
Making your Localization upgrade safe :
If you keep your custom translations in woocommerce/i18n/languages (WooCommerce < 2.2+) they can be lost when upgrading. To make them upgrade safe, instead place them in wp-content/languages/woocommerce/. All translations will be automatically added to wp-content/languages/woocommerce/ with WooCommerce 2.2+.

LoCo uses the url wp-content/languages/plugins/ and woocommerce/i18n/languages but not wp-content/languages/woocommerce/. I think that’s issue 🙂
