How to implement a module-dependent language translation?

To implement a module-dependent language translation, place your translation to modules (i18n subfolder) instead of language packages.

The Magento\Framework\Translate::_loadModuleTranslation() method detects the current module and makes its translation prioritized:

/**
 * Load data from module translation files
 *
 * @return $this
 */
protected function _loadModuleTranslation()
{
    $currentModule = $this->getControllerModuleName();
    $allModulesExceptCurrent = array_diff($this->_moduleList->getNames(), [$currentModule]);


    $this->loadModuleTranslationByModulesList($allModulesExceptCurrent);
    $this->loadModuleTranslationByModulesList([$currentModule]);
    return $this;
}
