I could be wrong, but wasn't that game already official released for Vita as 20th Anniversary Edition?

Yes but people that are against piracy can play that version.

I see. Not really my type of game, but nice to see that the SDL port is used for porting more and more games to the Vita

Excellent work. It's great play it again.
How I change the language to English? Everything is in French.

There is no text or speech (that isn't an alien language "mitesaroomba!") in the game itself so it shouldn't matter much I don't think.

Yes, it has. The computer talking with the main character on the intro and the game over screen with the password.
