VLC with OS X El Capitan 10.11

Postby egap69 » 05 Aug 2015 04:52

For some reason when I load the current version of VLC onto the new OS X beta operating system the language is not english. How do I change it back to english?

There is an option in the Interface settings of the preferences which lets you set that. However, are you sure, that your system's locale settings are correct after the update?

My system's local settings are set to English.
I can't locate the interface settings of the preferences as they are not in english.

confirmed, also on El Capitan 10.11 beta 4. The language defaults to "Basque". I even tried manually changing from Auto to "American English". The problem persists. Some new language API for El Capitan?

That's weird, I also installed VLC on the new OS X El Capitan 10.11 and everything shows in English.

I can confirm this, also. The screenshot does not help. I can't find the Preferences

The preferences are the third item in the VLC menu..

Same here. Thought it was me. Both computers running current El Capitan have this issue

Changing (fumbling around since everything is in a different language) does not help. All menus etc are in another language

Did you restart VLC after changing the language inside VLC?

Did you do a clean installation of El Capitan, or did you upgrade from a previous OS X Yosemite installation?

According to our tests, this issue no longer occurs with the latest pre-release of OS X 10.11 build 15A263e. Can you guys confirm?
