What is the difference between *.txt and *_eng.txt files?

I'd like to try my hand at modding and was wondering what's the difference between these two file types in the data directory.

The _eng files are only for the words and their translation while the normal .txt ones are the actual data. This means regardless of language version, all games will use the same data file (but different language files hence the _eng, _ger, ...)

Thank you.
