May be quite a bit more than formatting info.
TF> It does. I don't know how TB! uses this file. It's like a .dat file:

Perhaps, perhaps it's indexed directly.

You can overwrite words and it may or may not work (who's to say if
there's checksumming information to check for a corrupted file?). May
also be that you can fully edit the strings, but likely the strings
are in specific places in the file that the executable depends on.
TF> The .lng itself does not disclose how the application uses this data.

TF> IMHO.
The raw ASCII that is legible is likely used in a straight-forward
way, but what about all the rest of the file?
-tom!
