What is a LNG file?
LNG file is a language data package used by Winamp software. Winamp player debuted in 1997 and remained hugely popular for many years. Thanks to the commitment of developers and the community, the application was translated into many languages – those translation files use the LNG format to store data.
LNG format is a part of the larger plugin packages that use WLZ file extension. ZIP compression allows the file to be small in size. Winamp development was discontinued in 2013.

How to open LNG files
If you cannot open the LNG file on your computer - there may be several reasons. The first and most important reason (the most common) is the lack of a suitable software that supports LNG among those that are installed on your device.
A very simple way to solve this problem is to find and download the appropriate application. The first part of the task has already been done – the software supporting the LNG file can be found in the table. Now just download and install the appropriate application.
Possible problems with the LNG format files
The inability to open and operate the LNG file does not necessarily mean that you do not have an appropriate software installed on your computer. There may be other problems that also block our ability to operate the Language Definition Format file. Below is a list of possible problems.
- Corruption of a LNG file which is being opened
- Incorrect links to the LNG file in registry entries.
- Accidental deletion of the description of the LNG from the Windows registry
- Incomplete installation of an application that supports the LNG format
- The LNG file which is being opened is infected with an undesirable malware.
- The computer does not have enough hardware resources to cope with the opening of the LNG file.
- Drivers of equipment used by the computer to open a LNG file are out of date.
If you are sure that all of these reasons do not exist in your case (or have already been eliminated), the LNG file should operate with your programs without any problem. If the problem with the LNG file has not been solved, it may be due to the fact that in this case there is also another rare problem with the LNG file. In this case, the only you can do is to ask for assistance of a professional staff.

How to associate the file with an installed software?
If you want to associate a file with a new program (e.g. my-file.LNG) you have two ways to do it. The first and the easiest one is to right-click on the selected LNG file. From the drop-down menu select "Choose default program", then click "Browse" and find the desired program. The whole operation must be confirmed by clicking OK. The second and more difficult to do is associate the LNG file extension to the corresponding software in the Windows Registry.
Is there one way to open unknown files?
Many files contain only simple text data. It is possible that while opening unknown files (e.g. LNG) with a simple text editor like Windows Notepad will allow us to see some of the data encoded in the file. This method allows you to preview the contents of many files, but probably not in such a structure as a program dedicated to support them.
