What is a VLCL file?
A VLCL file is a localization support file used by VMware virtualization software, such as VMware Workstation. It contains language-specific text and regional settings that allow VMware applications to translate menus, dialog boxes, system messages, and other user interface elements so users can work in their preferred language.
More Information
VLCL files store structured localization data, such as translated strings and configuration entries, that the VMware software reads when it loads a specific language pack. The application references the file automatically during startup or when a user selects a different language in the program settings. System administrators and IT professionals commonly encounter VLCL files when installing or managing multilingual VMware environments.
How to open a VLCL file
VLCL files are not meant to be opened. Instead, VMware software, such as VMware Workstation, reads and applies the files automatically as part of its localization system.
Since the file stores plain text, you can view and edit VLCL files with any text editor. However, manual editing is generally intended only for advanced users or developers who understand the localization structure, as incorrect changes may cause interface text to display improperly.
