Hello everyone!

My son has an iPhone 4 with the last iOS 7 version and VLC player installed. The language selected in iOS 7 (Settings, General, Language) was Croatian when VLC was installed, and VLC language was English, after installation.
Fiddling with the device, I accidentally switched the iOS language to Chinese (Simplified). After iPhone reboot, the VLC player switched to Chinese, as well.
Switching back to Croatian (immediately after) switched the iOS back to Croatian, but VLC is now stuck in Chinese. Removing and reinstalling the app didn't help.
Please, help! We need the app in English, as it was before. Thanks!

That's weird. Did you reboot the device once more? Is it a hacked device?

Yes we did reboot once more. No, it's not hacked.
But I figured it out. It seems that the problem is in the fact that VLC for iOS doesn't support Croatian language. When it was originally installed iOS was in Croatian, but VLC app was installed in English. Switching the phone to Chinese, switched the app to Chinese, too. Switching back to Croatian, seemingly, couldn't switch the app to Croatian because Croatian is not supported, so the app remained set in Chinese.

So, now we switched the phone to English, and VLC went back to English. Then to Croatian, and now iOS is again in Croatian, and VLC app is again in English.

Pfeeew, great to hear!

We hope to be able to add support for Croatian in a future release btw.

Thanks, that's good news!
