What is the output of 

rpm -qa | grep thunderbird

and of

rpm -qa | grep locales


How did you install Mageia 6.1, using a Live iso (which one?) or a network iso?

locales-en-2.28-3.mga7
locales-2.28-3.mga7
locales-sv-2.28-3.mga7

I used the net iso.

It seems that Thunderbird does not accept currently any localisation.
Although the thunderbird-et-60.3.0-1.mga7.noarch.rpm package is installed Thunderbird stays in English...

Not for me on the laptop I'm now using: The Thunderbird interface is in Dutch, as it should be.

$ rpm -qa | grep thunderbird
thunderbird-60.3.2-1.mga7
thunderbird-nl-60.3.2-1.mga7
thunderbird-en_GB-60.3.2-1.mga7
thunderbird-fr-60.3.2-1.mga7

I'll check another laptop later today.... I'm pretty sure the interface is no longer in Portuguese there, as it should be on that system.

I hace this bug.

I had this problem, only for existing accouts. It seems a thunderbird bug when upgrading AFAIK, as a new account has no problem.

I have fixed it for myself following info found in Thunderbird FAQ, but unfortuately I cannot find it again right now.

I don't know how you fixed it, but I created a new user account, logged in to MATE and opened Thunderbird. Still in English.

Testuser with opened Thunderbird

Hi,

Here are my tests:
In a new Cauldron VM, I installed thunderbird and thunderbird-fr.  I started thunderbird and I accepted the French extension at the first launch but the UI was not translated into French.

So I compared some entries from "about:config" between firefox and thunderbird (from newly created profiles).

I found that firefox set two entries that thunderbird omits:
- "intl.locale.matchOS" set to "true"
- "intl.locale.requested" set to an empty string

Magically, in my tests, if I :
1) stop thunderbird
2) add to the prefs.js file found into the thunderbird profile these two lines:
"""
user_pref("intl.locale.matchOS", "true");
user_pref("intl.locale.requested", "");
"""
3) start thunderbird again

then thunderbird is translated into French.

I hope thunderbird-60.3.3-2.mga7 will solve the problem.

Best regards,

Nico.

Hmm, but in my case the same thunderbird profile is shared by three installations (Mageia 6; Cauldron; KDE neon) in separate partitions by symlinking the .thunderbird directory (on the fourth partition) to their respective /home's.
All thunderbirds have their -et localisation packages installed.
In Cauldron, Thunderbird stays in english (and disables the estonian localisation addon), in Mageia 6 and in KDE neon the interface is in estonian as it should be...
Not tested the thunderbird-60.3.3-2.mga7 yet.

Just installing the thunderbird-60.3.3-2.mga7 update does not make any difference - Cauldron Thunderbird stays in english...

thunderbird-60.3.3-2.mga7 failed to build so I think you got thunderbird-60.3.3-1.mga7, which does not contain the fix.

Moreover, I was a bit unclear in my comment #12: when thunderbird > 60.3.3-1.mga7 will be successfully built, it will include a file that was present in thunderbird 52.9 but was mistakenly removed when we switch to version 60: "/usr/lib(64)/thunderbird-<version>/defaults/pref/all-mageia.js".  That file will contain:
"""
pref("intl.locale.matchOS", "true");
pref("intl.locale.requested", "");
"""
so that it will apply globally (no need to modify each thunderbird profile).

Thanks for the clarification!
And indeed, the upgrade was 60.3.3-1.mga7...

Seems to be fixed with thunderbird-60.3.3-3.mga7
Thanks!

Agreed! Installing thunderbird-sv_SE-60.3.3-1.mga7 and opening thunderbird shows it in Swedish again.

Closing as RESOLVED FIXED

Should however someone feel that the issue still exist in other languages feel free to reopen this report with new info.
