VLC in Japanese, but want English

Postby Lost soul » 01 Jul 2005 14:25

Can someone help?

Awhile back, VLC began appearing in Japanese, where previously all text on the screen was English.

How can I change it back to English?

I am using Mac OS X 10.3.9.

I have tried trashing whatever preferences I could find, but that didn't help.

Lost in Japanese!!

Ehm.. Set your International preferences correctly in the General MacOSX System Preferences????

Yes, International>Language> has been ordered to US Eng, then Japanese, etc.

Then logged out, back, before trying VLC again. Still unEnglish.

Prior to that I put the old VLC in the trash, and reinstalled.

Then remove your preferences (both the folder VLC and org.videolan.vlc.plist in ~/Library/Preferences).

:lol:

For anyone having similar problems in the future:

Trashing those preferences and logging out alone did not do the job.

This worked: I went to the Language menu and deactivated the then active Japanese language etc choices. Logged out. Downloaded VLC 0.8 again.

VLC shows me English again....and the sky outside is blue!

Felix, thank you very much for your kindness.

I was lost, now I am found...
