LText files are used to make lots multilingual or as a proper replacement for the User Visible Name Key and the Item Description Key.

File Structure

The file has a 2 byte header and then each character is UTF-16 (I think)

Here is a PHP function that returns the string enclosed in an LTEXT file

function ltextThing($data){
/*ExemplarFile
	typeID: 6534284a
	$value = the 'content' array key*/

	$thing = str_split($data);
	foreach ($thing as $char => $word){
		if ($char % 2 == int and $char != 2)
			$return .= $word;
	}
return $return;	
}
