Argh, I guess we’ve persisted a value for some locales-related pref, that does not work anymore, and somehow overrides the pref("intl.locale.requested", ""); that we set in /etc/thunderbird/pref/thunderbird.js.

So first, let’s confirm that: please share the output of grep -E 'intl\.locale' ~/.thunderbird/profile.default/*.js

And then, to find out how we could fix this automatically, please save a backup of ~/.thunderbird/profile.default/*.js somewhere persistent (so I can ask you later to test the code that should fix them automatically) and in Preferences → Advanced → Config Editor, right click on intl.locale.requested → Reset. This should set the value of that pref to the empty string. Then quit Thunderbird, start it again, and report back whether it’s in French.

Thanks for this precise step-by-step procedure.

> So first, let’s confirm that: please share the output of grep -E 'intl\.locale' ~/.thunderbird/profile.default/*.js

Output:
/home/amnesia/.thunderbird/profile.default/prefs.js:user_pref(“intl.locale.requested”, “en-US”);

> And then, to find out how we could fix this automatically, please save a backup of ~/.thunderbird/profile.default/*.js somewhere persistent (so I can ask you later to test the code that should fix them automatically)

Done.

It works, Thunderbird is now in French.

Thanks for the info! :)

OK, so let’s try emptying intl.locale.requested in prefs.js in our Thunderbird wrapper script so it matches the default value we ship in /etc/thunderbird/pref/thunderbird.js.
