  CiviCRM has its own setting to set default language. To configure CiviCRM to use an translation:
  
  * Download the translations distribution -
    civicrm--l10n.tar.gz - from the CiviCRM downloads page. This
    tarball contains all files for the latest available translations.
  * Uncompress the tarball and you will see a directory called civicrm,
    containing two subdirectories called l10n and sql. The l10n directory
    contains a set of sub-directories named using their local codes.
    (Example: the Italian translation files will located in
    /civicrm/l10n/it\_IT).
  * Copy this l10n directory, together with all its subdirectories into
    your CiviCRM codebase root directory.(note if creating the l10n
    folder manually it should be ell-ten-n, not capital-I-ten-n)
  
    ```
    For Joomla this would be site_root/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm. So if you wanted the it_IT language it would look like this site_root/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/l10n/it_IT/
  
    ```
  
  **To enable the default language**
  
  * Login to CiviCRM (as a user with "administer CiviCRM permissions").
  * Go to Administer » Localization » Languages, Currency, Locations.
  * You should now be able to see and select all the localization options
    in the Default Language and drop-down menu. If you don't, and instead
    can just see the default 'English (United States)' option, check the
    preceding steps as the drop-down options are set by the directories
    under your l10n directory. Also be sure to confirm that the l10n
    directory is correctly named as l10n (that is: el-ten-en and not
    eye-ten-en).
