The National Language Support functions help applications meet users’ language needs around the world. This overview describes the functions and how to use them. It covers language properties, locale information constants, and custom locales.
Microsoft defined the NLS file format standard. NLS files work with software on Windows. The Windows setup program installs NLS files. They are in the SYSTEM32 or SYSTEM folders with libraries. Similar files have extensions like MLS, MUI, and LNG.
NLS files provide language-specific formats. They are named like language codes for Windows locales. These could be ‘CD0A.NLS’ for Czech or ‘FR0A.NLS’ for French. The setup program installs them during initial setup or when adding languages. They are in the WINDOWS/SYSTEM32 or WINDOWS/SYSTEM folders with other libraries.
NLS files translate the interface. Windows needs them to convert character sets properly. Modifying NLS files requires the right tools and documentation. Use the Windows Debugger or ICU library carefully when working with them. This ensures success in handling NLS files accurately.
To open an NLS file on Windows, find it in File Explorer. Then double click to launch the program. If it does not open, the file could be corrupted or lack associations. To associate NLS files properly, right click one. Select “Open with” and “Choose another app”. Pick a program and check “Always use this app”.
Different programs use NLS files differently. Unless you know the format, try various openers. Use apps made to handle certain NLS file types.
