Language file/lib/extension ( .ENG, .ITA, .FRA, etc)

Does anyone have experience with these file extensions: .ENG for English, .ITA for Italian and so on?

I have program written in C/C++ which uses these files to change the language of the application. If I try to open it with Notepad, to correct some words for my language, I see the same thing as when I open a binary file.

Is that file type equivalent with .bin? If can someone give me reference how this system works? When I worked apps with multiple language support, I had to use database and from there calling words depending on which language is chosen. So how does it work with this extension language files?

That depends entirely on the application using these files which you have not named. .bin is also just a name that doesn't indicate for sure what such files contain.
