Some years ago, I use Thunderbird on FreeBSD, but I'm spanish. Thunderbird on FreeBSD have the "problem" on localization, that doesn't work correctly except changing manually one variable in his configuration. Plugins like Enigmail works ok with localization, but Lightning seems to be not. ====================================== ===> The following configuration options are available for thunderbird-24.4.0: DBUS=on: D-Bus IPC system support DEBUG=off: Build with debugging support ENIGMAIL=on: Enigmail extension GCONF=off: GConf configuration backend support GIO=on: GIO for file I/O GNOMEUI=off: libgnomeui support module GNOMEVFS2=off: GnomeVFS2 (virtual file system) support GSTREAMER=on: Multimedia support via GStreamer LIBPROXY=off: Proxy support via libproxy LIGHTNING=on: Calendar extension LOGGING=on: Additional log messages OPTIMIZED_CFLAGS=on: Use extra compiler optimizations PGO=off: Use Profile-Guided Optimization PROFILE=on: Build with profiling support TEST=off: Build and/or run tests ====> Options available for the multi AUDIO: you have to choose at least one of them ALSA=on: ALSA audio architecture support PULSEAUDIO=off: PulseAudio sound server support =================================== My actual locale: LANG=es_ES.ISO8859-1 LC_CTYPE="es_ES.ISO8859-1" LC_COLLATE="es_ES.ISO8859-1" LC_TIME="es_ES.ISO8859-1" LC_NUMERIC="es_ES.ISO8859-1" LC_MONETARY="es_ES.ISO8859-1" LC_MESSAGES="es_ES.ISO8859-1" LC_ALL=es_ES.ISO8859-1 (Using UTF-8 as the same) How-To-Repeat: Allways.

With Thunderbird 31 and Lightning 3.3, the problem persist.
As I remember right, lightning is "recreated" at least one time since 2014. So I guess this problem is long solved. (I have thunderbird, but I don't work with lightning). Question is could this close here?
(In reply to w.schwarzenfeld from comment #4) Recently updated, the calendar continues on english... now I have Thunderbird 52.5.2 and Lightning 5.4.5.2. But new problem: I'm trying to remove Lightning for reinstall and now the thunderbird says that the extension is not compatible... Reading this thread: https://support.mozilla.org/es/questions/1174559 one "patch" is installing "Quick Locale Switcher 2". I will try when this new problem is solved.
(In reply to Toni Ballesta from comment #5) I had the same problem with 52.7.0. Reported as bug #227379, with a solution/workaround. Have you tried that?
Christoph, is this still relevant?
looks like lightning is now following the settings from Preferences/General/Language. No idea when that happened.
