What is not clear in
a) LANGUAGE defines order of preference for translations c) if some catalog is not present, next one is used
There is no VLC message catalog for "en_US" and you yourself told system to use "de" if "en_US" is not found.
Correct. I tried with LANGUAGE="en_GB:en_US:nl:de and I see dutch texts :-)
If you want to force English, just set LANGUAGE=C which will force built-in English messages without translation.
LANGUAGE=C in .i18n has no effect at all. it is overwritten by the above string coming from KDE. KDE does some strange things. They do not offer generic English (en) as selection. Finally I edited ~/.config/plasma-localerc to the following: [Formats] LANG=en_US.UTF-8 [Translations] LANGUAGE=en_GB:nl:de With these settings, KDE comes u in english, Audacity and Virtualbox as well, and VLC in Dutch. What a frickin chaos..... I fell it is worth filing a bug for KDE....
