What is the RESW file format?

RESW files belong to the category of configuration files. RESW files contain information used by Windows applications. This may include different language versions of menus, interface schemes, etc. RESW files store data that enables changing the appearance of software operating under Windows. These files exclusively contain strings and references to other types of resources (e.g., images).

Can I save RESW files?

Specialized software allows the extraction of interface text from ready applications and saving this data in RESW files. This enables translations and thus the creation of, for example, different language versions of applications. During the compilation process, files with the RESW extension are saved in binary form and receive the PRI extension.
