    Remember to check the path in the third argument. I wasted 3 days investigating what’s wrong and it turned out I gave 

    plugin_basename( __DIR__ ) . '/languages/'

    instead of 

    plugin_dir_path( __FILE__ ) . '/languages/'

    —

    With plugin_dir_path() works fine.

    If you have to generate your own JSON language pack files, use WP CLI to generate your JSON file for you. Just navigate to your plugin folder and run the following command.

    wp i18n make-json languages

    Then set the language folder in wp_set_script_translations

    wp_set_script_translations( 'wp-presenter-pro-js', 'wp-presenter-pro', plugin_dir_path( __FILE__ ) . 'languages' );

    Warning: If someone translates your plugin with the same locale on the WordPress Plugin Directory, the language will not show up if using the third argument.
