The .LANG file extension is a text-based language settings file used by Skype. These files contain information about the preferred language to use for the application, as well as the character sets and fonts used for various languages. The files are created and stored either in the user’s home directory or in the localized installation directory of the software, depending on the version of the program being used.
Language Settings File Format
The .LANG files are simple text files, though they typically adhere to a specific format dictated by the version of Skype being used. The files contain 5 basic pieces of information: language code, character set, font name, font size, and font orientation. Most codes are straightforward and easy to interpret without purpose-built software.
Other similar file extensions include: .LNG, .FRL, .LAN, and XTN.
Uses for LANG Files
The primary use of .LANG files is to provide developers and users with a consistently formatted set of language settings without requiring them to manually enter all preferences each time an application is used. By creating and editing the appropriate file in a central location, the user can quickly switch their interface between different languages without having to reinstall programs or access different computers.
The files also make it possible for developers working on localization projects to quickly and easily adjust interface parameters without needing to recompile source code.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .LANG) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .LANG extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .LANG file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .LANG extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .LANG extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .LANG file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .LANG file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .LANG file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .LANG file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .LANG file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
