VLC in English

I downloaded and installed and for some reason I got the program in Swedish (because I use Swe XP I suppose). Is there any way to change to English? I just can't seem to find this setting in Settings and I really don't want Swedish menus cause it's pretty irritating when I've always used English and are used to that :P

Would really appreciate if someone could help me :)

Regards

I have the same problem, although my system is localised for Korean and I am not a native speaker of Korean.

Your answer seems direct, however it doesn't actually help someone in my case, since I can't find anything that actually says, "interface preferences".

If you wouldn't mind, a screen-shot might do the trick. Or else a counted instruction, i.e. 'the second menu tab / third option / second checkbox' etc.

On the other hand, a first- or second-tier option which states 'language' would be a reasonable fix. The Korean word for 'language' is the usual thing I look for when a program has defaulted to my localised language.

Thanks.

vlc --language=en

Many thanks for the replies. The screen-shot was the easiest, but I could have tried the command line call too.

It turned out to be so easy that I overlooked it. Rather than translating the word 'interface', it was phonetically spelled in Korean but was still the same word, 'interface'.

cheers
