Thanks, this was very helpful to me to understand how to download Japanese language files for a WordPress Dockerfile. I found that if you change the name of the default .mo from default-$WPLANG.mo to $WPLANG.mo then WordPress will recognize it in the General Settings language drop down menu and display it as 日本語 instead of default-ja.mo.

Thanks for sharing this great resource.
