Version: 0.8.1-3
Severity: important

I run my GNOME sessions with a German interface, with the 
locale settings being

LC_ALL=

With these settings many text pieces are missing in wxvlc,
including the first 5 menu entries of the "File" menu, 
all explanations next to the check buttons in the
"Processor" tab of the Settings dialogue and many more.

So I tried to change the language setting in ~/.vlc/vlcrc
First I tried via the settings dialogue of wxvlc. But the
text "Automatisch" for the "Language" (DE: "Sprache") is
not editable (though the text field is active, implying
editability. By the way: shouldn't this be a drop-down list
of available language settings???)
Next I tried editing the ~/.vlc/vlcrc file manually.
I assumed English would be a good choice and tried 
language=en. No change in the program. Nowhere did I find
any clue how to set the language to something that would
at least provide me with a complete interface in wxvlc.

This renders the wxvlc program completely useless, especially
for beginners and/or people who do not speak English well.


Kind regards


Andreas
