OK, OK, you win: it's not a text file. It's a file that contains some
readable characters, among other stuff.
Here is why I checked not too carefully before replying (a lame
attempt at an excuse): Sometime last year, I wanted to organize a
translation into Chinese-Taiwan (Big5) with a couple of local guys.
Ritlabs sent me a bunch of text files (yes, pure readible ASCII text),
which had the extension .lng. They were to be manipulated by any
plain-text editor.
When I looked at my TB directory this time, I saw a file with the same
extension, only a lot bigger (because it currently contains data for
well over 10 languages), so in Wordpad it looked like ASCII, and boom:
I jumped to the wrong conclusion.
What happened to the translation: my guys took a hike when they saw
the size of the project. :-(
