Yes. But it depends on the version you're using (and the same problem applies to Firefox). The hints I'm providing are therefore derived from ongoing trouble (language-wise) with Firefox, so check which and what applies to Thunderbird. :-) I'm not sure _which_ language variable has the desired effect, but you can try setting those (example taken from ~/.cshrc): setenv LANGUAGE de setenv LC_ALL de_DE.UTF-8 setenv LANG de_DE.UTF-8 setenv LC_ALL de_DE.UTF-8 setenv LC_MESSAGES de_DE.UTF-8 setenv LC_COLLATE de_DE.UTF-8 setenv LC_CTYPE de_DE.UTF-8 setenv LC_MONETARY de_DE.UTF-8 setenv LC_NUMERIC de_DE.UTF-8 setenv LANG de_DE.UTF-8 setenv MM_CHARSET de_DE.UTF-8 It could also be possible that one of those (taken from ~/.login_conf) could be the one(s): me:\ :charset=UTF-8:\ :lang=de_DE.UTF-8: Additionally, check TB's configuration if you find a "built-in means" to select the interface language (as it seems to be now in FF). It is probably hidden somewhere in the preferences "pages" (no idea why "modern" software tends to make things more complicated than it should be). Also make sure to check it after upgrades which might cause TB to switch back to English (same problem with FF). As I'm writing this, I guess _that hint_ is the thing you should be looking for _first_. :-) > After installing and enabling a German language pack as an addon (not to > be confused with a German dictionary (which is also installed for just > in case)), the GUI still remains in English. Those add-ons don't seem to work anymore. Version mismatch combined with improper or missing signing (same trouble as in FF). It seems they aren't needed anymore. > Is this a general problem > with the language pack or something specific to FreeBSD? Not FreeBSD-specific. It's one of the typical problems of "constant change" when dealing with Mozilla software... :-/ -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
