Hi,

I installed VLC and changed the language to British English.
My regional settings is Italian.

The strange thing is that everything is in English except Advanced Settings (show settings: all).
there is text in English and text in Italian mixed up.


I tried to delete all the locale except the folder en_GB but that didn't do the trick.

How can I change all text to English?

American English works any better?

Done...same thing.

You use 0.9.6? Does it help if you remove %appdata%\vlc ?

I'm experiencing the exact same problem.. after installing VLC (version 0.9.7)on XP SP3 US version , first time I run VLC will
use the langauge preference set in the system's regional setting. In my case it's Traditional Chinese, when I tried
to change the language preference to american english, the preference menu will have english and chinese mixed
in with no way to fix.

if I tried to delete and VLC setting, it'll just put VLC back into the default mode and recreate the setting according
to regional setting.

So far the ONLY way to avoid this is by setting the system regional setting temporarily to english and then install VLC
(or delete VLC's preference data and restart VLC).

Yes did resolved the problem.
Thank you.

Try the following:
1. Close VLC
2. Delete VLC setting folder (%appdata%\vlc)
3. Start VLC with "--language=en" parameter

It works fine for me (VLC 0.9.4 + Windows XP SP3).

thank you.

I did the same thing a few weeks ago with success

Even the 1.0.0 RC has the same problem.
I choosed american-english language but all submenus are in italian

SOLVED: INTERFACE LANGUAGE (Tested with vlc-1.0.0-rc1-win32.exe)


1° Delete all language subfolder except the one you need (for me 'fr' for instance) in folder:
C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\locale\

2° Rename the remaining folder (containing the 'vlc.mo' in your language) into 'en' (without quotes).

3° Reset preferences and cache from the start menu.

4° Open VLC

Thank you

Still italian text (even after changing the language of VLC to American English)

Still english text together with italian text 1.0.3

still english text together with italian text 1.0.5

Once you had created the VLC setting and change the words based on the regional language, it will come up to be in the translated one. You must have known the consequences before you have installed the VLC and studied its proper basics. However, native English is more appropriate for your VLC.

I did not change the words based on the regional language.
