A solution to the initial problem:

mkdir -p ~/bin
vim ~/bin/thunderbird

'''#!/bin/bash
echo "executing $0 with: $@"
LC_TIME=nl_NL.utf8 /usr/bin/thunderbird $@
'''

Restart your shell.
Done!

Your ~/.profile will include ~/bin/ in $PATH and your system will prefer
the new thunderbird executable over the one in /usr/bin/.

If not add the following to your ~/.profile
'''# set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists
if [ -d "$HOME/bin" ] ; then
    PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"
fi'''
