All about CLX Files
The CLX file type is primarily associated with StedPlus.
What is a CLX file?
CLX files mostly belong to StedPlus. A CLX file is a spell-check dictionary file that stores a spell check list for use by language editing software. It is used internally by programs from StedPlus and tools like SDL Trados Studio to quickly verify word spellings in texts.
The file is stored in a binary format, which means it is not designed to be opened or edited in a simple text editor. Instead, it must be handled by its native application to avoid corruption.

FilExt.com tip: Always back up your CLX file before attempting any changes, and use the official software to view or update it.
How to open CLX files

If you cannot open your CLX file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a CLX file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
