This is expected, since Catalan is not supported by the current release of VLC for iOS. We will add it in the next version though.

This is a bit weird. Are you sure that he switched his system language settings to French (note that there are 2 settings, on for the Region and one for the actual language)? I've seen VLC for iOS running in French on device with French language settings quite nicely.

I guess so. It's in Settings -> General -> ..

Indeed. So far, the public release supports English, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Hebrew, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Slovak, Spanish, Turkish, Ukrainian and Vietnamese only.

No, because this isn't feasible due to the way apps are constructed on iOS. However, we will add support for more languages as soon as they become available from our translators. As such, the next version will add Marathi, Catalan and Galician.

Best regards,
