Basically those are plain text files. But with funky extensions.

.tmx, .xlf, I have some .utf8 which is aTSV basically.

Is there a plist file somewhere to tweak so that Spotlight becomes  
interested in such files ?

What about plain text source code files ? .java etc. As far as I've  
tried, they are not checked for contents by Spotlight.
