I've done a bit more debugging here. On trunk, at startup, the events fire in this order: intl:app-locales- changed en-US, final-ui-startup. So we get the folder names when the latter event fires, and we're cool. All working as observed on beta.
On TB 68 I see: intl:app-locales-changed es-ES, final-ui-startup and then another intl:app-locales-changed en-US. en-US is the chosen language. So frankly, mozilla68 seems buggy, it advertises the wrong language first and then the correct language after the UI event has fired :-( So the 68 patch is correct to work around it. I'm not sure whether we want to land the trunk/beta part. Axel, thanks again for your suggestion. As you can see, the behaviour has changed, in 68 it wasn't quite correct, now it is. Maybe it's faster to go with the workaround for TB 68 instead of trying to locate where the Mozilla platform changed and then trying to backport that. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1847772 Title: E-mail folder names are not localized in thunderbird 68 Status in Mozilla Thunderbird: Fix Released Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: After updating to Thunderbird 68.1.1 from the Ubuntu archive, folder names Inbox, Drafts, Sent, Archives, Spam, Trash all appear in English in the French UI.
