MO is a MO file, which stands for Machine Object File. A MO file is a compiled binary file format created by the GNU Compiler Collection, which is used by both open source and commercial applications written in C, C++, or Fortran. It contains the machine code for compiling a program written in these languages into an executable format that can be run on compatible systems.
Structure and Features
A MO file is commonly used to store compiled code on Unix-like operating systems. MO files are created either when a program is installed, or when it is being compiled from source code, using the GNU compiler.MO, in combination with other GNU tools such as Autoconf and Autogen, help to automate the process of deploying changes to existing programs.
When installing a new program, any existing existing MO, .po, and other related files can be included. This provides an automated method for updating existing programs after installation or upgrade. When compiling from source code, these files can be saved in a unique directory within the source tree.
Similar File Extensions
Several other machine object file extensions exist, including .o, .exe, .mo, .obj, and .a. All of these contain compiled machine code that can be linked together with other files into a single executable program.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .MO) 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 .MO 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 .MO 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 .MO 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 .MO extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .MO file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .MO 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 .MO file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .MO file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .MO file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
