LNG file extension is used for generic language files used for adding language and locale support for applications. LNG file contains data related to languages including locale codes. Some files hold data for multiple languages, some only for one chosen language.
LNG files are used for localizing software interface data, documentation, dialogs, and other elements. Usually available language options are presented to the user as a part of program installation process, however, language settings can be changed later from the program’s menu.
LNG file is always related to specific software and should not be opened manually (it is possible by using any standard text editor, however, such file must be saved in plain text format, which isn’t always the case). LNG can be saved in a binary format and in which case the file contents will not be read properly.
Below is a table that list programs that support LNG files. Files with LNG extension, just like any other file formats, can be found on any operating system. The files in question may be transferred to other devices, be it mobile or stationary, yet not all systems may be capable of properly handling such files.
