What is an XLC file?

XLC files mostly belong to Microsoft Excel.

The XLC file extension is used by specific applications to store chart and localization data. Its structure depends on the program that created it.

Chart Files: In spreadsheet software such as Microsoft Excel and legacy programs like Lotus 1-2-3, XLC files are used to save chart information. They store design layouts, formatting settings, and graphical data that can function as standalone charts or templates. Some versions use a Microsoft Compound file format, which allows multiple elements like text and graphics to be bundled together.

Localization Data: Other XLC files act as localization data files. They are used in games (for example, in Pro Evolution Soccer 2016) to keep translation text and language information, supporting multilingual in-game interfaces. This approach is similar to an extended localization catalog used by specialized gaming software. More details are available on the Konami website.

File Format Variability: XLC files may be stored using different internal formats, such as Microsoft Compound for spreadsheets or even SQL (as seen in certain SQLite-based chart templates).
Software Usage: While Microsoft Excel is a common tool for handling these files, other applications like DeltaGraph and game localization tools also use the XLC extension.
Access Tips: Open an XLC file with the originating application. Use Excel or compatible spreadsheet programs for chart files, and a text editor or SQLite manager for localization or SQL-based files. Additional details on viewing Excel files can be found on the Microsoft Excel site and on SQLite for database-related content.

FilExt.com tip: Always check the file’s origin to decide on the right tool for viewing or editing it.
