Just to confirm, Mike's suggestion, seconded by Betty, worked really well: VLC software ignores region encoding, I'm good. As to the language problem, I went to System Preferences, the International, and changed from Polish (how did it jump to that, in the Czech Republic? a mystery) to English. Not sure what idiot thing I had done wrong before. So, that's all fine now, as well.
