Finally defeated.

I finally found a problem I can't beat. VLC runs in fucking Greek. There is no menu option to change the language in the options. I looked comparing the English version to the Linux version. It's not there.

Running vlc --language=en doesn't work. Somebody said to delete the language folders from %appdata%. Couldn't find any settings similar. I give up. Let me know if you can figure it.

**Edit** If this happens to you, where menus look like they are in Greek, it's in the Appearance: Fonts top. Make sure Symbols isn't set on any of them as the font. Turns out some weirdo knew what it was. I couldn't find a solution by searching for language problems because it wasn't one. It was a font problem. Now to uninstall all of the bullshit I installed to try to fix it with.

  1. I haven't had any issues with VLC. I did have an issue with a video playing being kind of choppy, but that happened in all the video players I have installed. I haven't looked for a solution yet.

  2. It'll actually fuck up more than just VLC. It's just a fot setting in the appearance tab.
