# Feature: #69416 - Plugins (AbstractPlugin) can load custom language file {#feature-69416}

See [forge#69416](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/69416)

## Description {#description}

`AbstractPlugin::pi_loadLL()` takes an optional argument specifying path to a
language file. It allows placing language files in other paths like in Extbase
structure "Resources/Private/Language". Previously language file had to be
located in the directory set in the `scriptRelPath` property.

## Impact {#impact}

Possibility to put language label files in other paths.
