# Install translation resource files for the SXA Storefront site

The default language of the SXA Storefront site is English. Sitecore provides translation resource (`.dat`) files that you can download and install to make the SXA Storefront site available in Danish, German or Japanese. Sitecore is preconfigured to support these languages.

> [!important]
> It is best practice to install the translation resource files before you [create a SXA Storefront site](https://doc.sitecore.com/xp/en/developers/103/sitecore-experience-commerce/create-a-commerce-tenant-and-site.html "Create a Commerce tenant and site").

To install the Sitecore-provided translation resource files for the SXA Storefront site:

1. On the [Sitecore Download site](https://dev.sitecore.net/Downloads/Sitecore_Commerce.aspx), go the Sitecore Experience Commerce release page and, in the Translations section, download the following packages:
    - `SXA Storefront Translations`
    - `Commerce Connect translations`

    > [!note]
    > Both translation resource packages are required, and each package contains Danish, German, and Japanese language files.

2. For each package, perform the following: extract the content of the package, open the `Content` folder, right-click on the ZIP file corresponding to the desired language, for example `Sitecore Commerce Experience Accelerator (da-DK) *.*.**.zip`, and then extract the content to the following location in your Sitecore instance: `\inetpub\wwwroot\<Sitecore>\sitecore modules\`.

    > [!note]
    > The structure of the `items` folder included in the ZIP package matches the structure of the `items` folder in Sitecore. As a result, the extracted files are copied to the appropriate `localization` folder as follows:
    >
    > -   `\sitecore modules\items\master\localization`
    >
    > -   `\sitecore modules\items\core\localization`
    >
    > -   `\sitecore modules\items\web\localization`

3. Open Internet Information Manager (IIS) and restart the IIS service.
