What is a GLS file?
A GLS file is a glossary text file created by Babylon Glossary Builder, a discontinued program used to create and manage custom dictionaries for Babylon software. It contains terms and their definitions, formatted using Babylon's glossary text syntax, and may also include alternate terms. GLS files serve as the source files for generating .BGL binary glossary files used by Babylon dictionary applications.
More Information
Individuals and organizations created GLS files to build custom dictionaries for language translation and reference purposes. They edited glossary entries with Babylon Glossary Builder and then compiled the GLS file into a BGL file for distribution or use with Babylon's dictionary software. Although Babylon Glossary Builder is no longer developed, GLS files are still encountered in archived Babylon dictionary projects and by users maintaining legacy glossaries.
How to open a GLS file
You can open GLS files with Babylon Glossary Builder, although the software is discontinued. The program allows you to modify glossary entries and compile the GLS file into a .BGL glossary for use with Babylon dictionary applications.
Since GLS files are saved as structured plain text, you can also open them with any text editor, such as Notepad++ or Microsoft Notepad, to view or edit the glossary data directly. However, changes made with a text editor should preserve the file's formatting so the glossary can be compiled successfully.

More Information
GLS files typically reside within a project directory alongside other resources such as images, sounds, and configuration settings essential for the project. Users create or edit GLS files using text editors that support scripting and code syntax, allowing them to write custom scripts manually. These scripts enable developers to control various aspects of game mechanics, character actions, and visual effects in a GLScript-based project.
How to open a GLS file
You can open GLS files with any text editor, such as Microsoft Notepad, Apple TextEdit, or third-party editors like Sublime Text or Microsoft Visual Studio Code.
