After sorting out some minor issues, we have some nightly builds available again, now.
The newest nightly builds for android are available here:

http://nightlies.videolan.org/

check the date for versions later than today (20140308).
There are different versions for armv6 (with or without fpu), armv7 and x86.

The default setting after installing the app is “use the general locale”. You can test different locales by
menu->Preferences->Advanced debugging->Set locale
by entering the language code (to name some: en, de, fr, ms, zh-rCN, pt-rBR) and restarting.

If you entered a valid language and the translation exists, vlc will use this language. So, you might want to remember the order of the buttons you click BEFORE using a locale you don’t speak.

I always count from the bottom upwards:
Preferences (2)
Advanced debugging (1)
Set locale (3)

Quit and restart (2, right below "Set locale”).

Best regards and happy testing.

Thanks for your work

Christoph
