Language definition files for front-end templates are stored in
[path-to-Joomla]/language/[ln-LN]
where [ln-LN] is the language code. Language codes are defined in RFC3066[1] The file must be named
[ln-LN].tpl_[template-name].ini
where [template-name] is the name of the template (in lowercase). For example, the British English language file for the Beez template is
[path-to-Joomla]/language/en-GB/en-GB.tpl_beez.ini
You should also create a separate language file for translating the Administrator back-end of your template. This will be stored in
[path-to-Joomla]/administrator/language/[ln-LN]
but the file naming convention is the same.
For administrator templates, as distinct from front-end templates, the second of these files is the only one required. For example, the British English language file for the Khepri administrator template is located in
[path-to-Joomla]/administrator/language/en-GB/en-GB.tpl_khepri.ini
