srt file is garbled is because it isn't encoded right. I was having the same problem, but after much searching, I found some things that helped solve it for me:įirst, I think the reason your. Could it be because of Win XP? If it's a font thing, do you know which font your VLC is using and where to get that font? Obviously it works on your end if you're seeing that, but something's still wrong here. In most cases, when I tried to change the font, the subtitles simply left the screen, and nothing was displayed at all. But still I downloaded and tried various Chinese fonts.
I have Chinese fonts on my computer (as I said, VLC menus can be displayed in Chinese), and I can type into Skype / Notepad in Chinese. On another post, someone said that's because Chinese fonts aren't installed. I followed those directions in another post, but it merely changes the subtitles to boxes. You can change only VLC's character encoding with Tools -> Preferences -> Subtitles -> Default encoding -> Universal, Chinese (GB18030).
You expected '你的地址是洛杉矶三街西9212号？'? This is occurring because you've configured VLC to English language.
