# Theme app extensions now support locales directory

As of today, apps will be able to store translation strings in a centralized locales folder accessible across all app blocks and app embeds within a theme app extension.

For more information about the locales directory, refer to the [theme app extension framework file structure](https://shopify.dev/apps/online-store/theme-app-extensions/extensions-framework#file-structure).
