# Important: #85560 - Location of XLF labels changed {#important-85560}

See [forge#85560](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/85560)

## Description {#description}

Downloaded files for XLF language files are usually stored within `typo3conf/l10n`. When the environment
variable `TYPO3_PATH_ROOT` is set, which is common for all composer-based installations, the XLF language files
are now found outside the document root, available under `var/labels/`.

The Environment API `Environment::getLabelsPath()` resolves the correct full location path prefix.
