Changing menu language

[deltatux]

I recently changed the system default language from French to English. Since my French isn't good enough to run through the preference pane, I can't really change anything in there until I change everything to English.

I'm running VLC 0.8.6d on MacOS X 10.4.11.

Thanks,

Make sure that "English" is the first entry of your languages list (instead of any dialect like British, Australian, whatever). Afterwards, VLC will be localised as expected.

thnx it works. Apparently I have to add English with the Canadian English option for VLC to go back to English.

Yep, Canadian isn't supported by VLC, which is why OS X chooses the next language in its list...

Is the language resource interpreted by VLC, or is it the system that selects the resource? I am asking because I would have thought falling back to the generic language version would be normal. For example en_US or en_CA -> en

The OS chooses the language. VLC isn't related to it (although it may force its own language without letting the OS know, but that's not related to this problem's thread). I would have thought that Apple's implementation was a bit more intelligent, too, but apparently, it isn't.
