==Regional codes in file names (languages)==
==Games PS2==
 
Its possible to create "language specific files" by adding a numeric code to the end of the file name, this files will be visibles/loaded only if the user has configured their profile with the same language


This regional codes are used in several places when talking about the content in a PS3 context e.g:
==Games PS1==
*In some parameters inside a .SFO containing language specific names
*Inside .BIK files (video format used in games) to index the audio tracks (a .BIK can contain 1 video + lot of audio tracks)
*Trophye installers contains several files for several languages, only one is installed
