That’s apparently a known issue upstream.

I’ve pushed a fix in the bugfix/6885-tor-launcher-localisation Tails Git branch but since the fix is confined to Tor Launcher, also see our Tor Launcher repo. My tests are positive for all locales I tested it on: English (default), Chinese and German (translated), Bosnian and Turkish (not translated, so should fallback to English).
The short story is that XUL translation is pretty fragile and easily results in fatal errors like this for out-dated translations.
The long story can be read here, where I also go into some detail for an upstream fix.
