I dont know what is wrong with that cause I don't change anything on that book, I just delete the language 'Vie" or change to 'Eng' or something else.
Blocking some languages is a "feature" of the Kindle Previewer that this plugin uses as part of the conversion process. Only languages that are officially supported by Amazon for use on Kindles will convert.

As you found, that error can be worked around by changing the language of the book to something that is supported. Whether or not the resulting book will render properly can be hit or miss depending on the characteristics of the language and and whether any special fonts needed for it.

The next release of this plugin will automatically change a language code of "vi" to one that will convert so that you do not have to do it manually. (Kindles use two-letter ISO 639-1 language codes.)
