Can I use the same textdomain in two separate plugins?

Question

I have two plugins lets name them PluginA and PluginB. Both are part of the same project I want to internationalize the text.

The question is if I use same textdomain 'myplugin' but make two files one in PluginA and other in PluginB and load both using

load_plugin_textdomain( 'myplugin', from PluginA )
load_plugin_textdomain( 'myplugin', from PluginB )

is that OK, or it overwrites the locales.

Thanks in advance.

Use different and specific textdomains, see »Text Domains Across Multiple Plugins & Themes« for more information. — Nicolai Grossherr, Commented Mar 21, 2015 at 20:42
but what if I have 40% of the string same in both plugins. Shall I use same domain and translate it in one plugin — Shakeeb Ahmed, Commented Mar 23, 2015 at 10:54

In simple words "NO" it is not recommended until one plugin is not a subset of another plugin.

If you want multi-language use different.

Thanks,
