WordPress Theme .mo-file won’t load

load_theme_textdomain() needs an absolute path to the directory, so you should set your THEME_URL like so

define("THEME_URL", get_template_directory());
define("TRANSLATION_URL", THEME_URL . "/languages");

It wasn’t working for you because get_bloginfo(“template_url”) is an URL and not an absolute path on your server.
