Thunderbird Language/Region Packages

 Please see the INSTALL page for detailed information on howto install Language/Region Packages.

Locales are selected as followed: The locale is taken from the environment of the mozilla-thunderbird process. If no locale is found matching, the default locale is used (currently en-US).
To set the locale to german, install the german language package (mozilla-thunderbird-locale-de-de) & start mozilla-thunderbird with the LANG environment variable set to 'de'. This is not necessary if your debian system is configured with de the default locale. To set the environment to german do this: 

  # export LANG=de
  # mozilla-thunderbird
Available localization packages fully integrated in debian are listed below.
