You can change the language used in VLC's interface in Interface -> General inside its preferences.
thanks
i've do that you explain me, but nothing change.
nota : you tell me to look in "Miscellaneous, Preferences, Interface, General "
do you think : "Settings, Preferences, Interface, General " ?
because i haven't "miscellaneous" menu.
like i tell you, the problem is probably due to my system, because on my PC with W2000 all work very well.
it's not realy important, just curious.
thank you very much to have help me.
What is the default language for your system?well,
thank you for explain of right click (i've never see Miscellaneous in it )
but i'm sorry, i can't put VLC in any language (only english)
very curious : if i resart my computer and that the first time i launch VLC with the "--language=fr" option i've a sort of french VLC.... but a lot of string are empty.
if i do "reset preference" : and do an another time "--language=fr" option i have english...
and of course if i chose french in preference nothing change too
thanks
I wouldn't think so! If this were a problem I would think it would default to Russian not English. Another person here suggested that if all the language files were erased that the default is English or at least that's how I understood it. All the language files are located C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\locale fr=French ru=Russian etc. I see a en_GB but I don't see a en_AM so perhaps the real default (no lang files) is English American. Assuming the files are there VLC recognizes sub directories and files placed within or underneath the main directory in this case VLC.like you tell me i use a Nightly Build.
i have try to delete : C:\Documents and Settings\Georges\Application Data\VLC
but: same things VLC in english
i'have try to uninstall VLC, erase all directory of it (application data and program file)
restart computer, install vlc : nothing change.
my computer (xp pro) is in French by default, but if i want i can use russian keyboard (so "internat" process running), and some software can work in russian (firefox, thunderbird... )
probleme can come from this ?
(my W2000 have the same config, and my linux too but no problem with it)
thanks
I don't know! Even when you start VLC with nothing it reports its own start up, when you add commands to the command line it also reports those in Messages. Your telling me it does nothing? Does it play files and do a reporting in Messages?heuu..... i have no message, VLC start in english but it don't show me error message.
perhaps i don't understand that you explain me ?
(my english practice is not very good ... )
I wish I knew what to say at this point!thanks
the windows message is empty....
Two questions posted in the last 24 hrs asked why during the install was my language offered and not installed when the install was in my language. Both systems were set up for English. But they saw the installation in there language when they chose the language option.the installation don't propose me to change language, so instructions are in English.
for control panel Regional and Language Options: yes Russian, but the default one is French.
(same thing on my second computer)
