The file belongs to Nokia phone firmware and stores language resources used by compatible Nokia mobile phone models. The exact contents depend on the phone model and firmware version.
A PPM file is used together with other Nokia firmware components during a phone software update or service operation. The format is associated with older Nokia phones and is now largely a legacy format.
A .ppm_b file is normally opened by a compatible Nokia firmware flashing or service utility on its supported desktop platform. Select it only when the utility specifically requires a PPM language-pack file for the target phone model.
It will not open as a readable document in a standard application. Using a file intended for a different phone model or firmware version can make the phone unusable.
A Nokia PPM flash file cannot normally be converted into a common document or media format. Its contents are firmware resources intended for use by compatible Nokia flashing software.
To change the phone's language, use a compatible language pack for the same model and firmware version rather than converting the existing file.
