Integrated lightning (installed with "lightning" USE flag with thunderbird) has no correct localization. While in my case thunderbird has correct ru-RU locale, lightning has en-US. Xpi from ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/calendar/lightning/releases/1.0b2/contrib/linux-x86_64/lightning.xpi for amd64 and https://addons.mozilla.org/ru/thunderbird/downloads/latest/2313 for i686 has correct localization. This bug present at least in i686 and amd64 platforms. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install mail-client/thunderbird-3.1.2 with USE="lightning" and LINGUAS="ru". 2. Run with locale ru_RU.utf8. 3. Thunderbird has correct ru-RU locale while lightning has not. --------- make.conf ----------- CFLAGS="-march=k8 -O2 -pipe" CXXFLAGS="-march=k8 -O2 -pipe" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1,--hash-style=gnu,--sort-common,--as-needed" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64 ~amd64" ACCEPT_LICENSE="AdobeFlash-10" USE="theora spell wifi lzma -qt -qt4 -kde -tcl -tk gtk xfce thunar X -arts -oss -esd -jack -nas -pulseaudio unicode -ipv6 hal udev dbus truetype jpeg custom-optimization -abiword svg xcb png gnutls tiff samba startup-notification libnotify -acl gallium gallium3d laptop 7zip alsa pango cairo bluetooth threads mmx mmxext sse sse2 3dnow 3dnowext libsexy" VIDEO_CARDS="radeonhd radeon" LINGUAS="ru" MAKEOPTS="-j10" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.inode.at/ " SANE_BACKENDS="plustek gt68xx" PORTAGE_NICENESS="20" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" source /var/lib/layman/make.conf ----------- uname -a --------------- Linux cache 2.6.34-gentoo-r2-cache #1 SMP Mon Jul 26 15:46:17 MSD 2010 x86_64 AMD Turion(tm) 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-64 AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux
Same problem with french locale and thunderbird-3.1.3: I found the the situation is like this: * TB is built from «http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/releases/3.1.3/source/thunderbird-3.1.3.source.tar.bz2» which doesn't ship any locales, but it have the lightning source (in /comm-1.9.2/calendar/). * The locales comes from «http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/releases/3.1.3/linux-i686/xpi/fr.xpi -> thunderbird-3.1.3-fr.xpi» which doesn't ship locales of lightning as the extension isn't officially in TB (even if it's in the source code). * The locales are in the tarball released by Mozilla for lightning: - lightning-1.0b2-tb-linux.xpi: /chrome/calendar-fr.jar /chrome/lightning-fr.jar A simple workaround is to extract theses two files and put them into: /usr/lib/thunderbird/extensions/{e2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103}/chrome/ Then, add to .../thunderbird/extensions/{e2fda1a4-...}/chrome.manifest theses two lines: -- locale calendar fr jar:chrome/calendar-fr.jar!/locale/fr/calendar/ locale lightning fr jar:chrome/lightning-fr.jar!/locale/fr/lightning/ -- Obviously, it's needed to update this to the locale.

The lightning in the thunderbird-3.1.10 is 1.0beta3pre. The address might need update.
Sorry, I got it wrong. I am trying to find locales for lightning and other 2 extensions (timezones and gdata-provider). But I cannot find official download link of calendar-timezones.xpi. Anyone can help? Thank you.
Jory in bug #333945 from 2011-02-11 you said you will take a look at it next week. Maybe you forgot about it?

This still seems to be an issue.

I've investigated this a little as I want ligtning in czech in TB 11.0.1. The only think I've found is https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Calendar/Localization#Building_Lightning_in_your_Language It looks like correct way, but I don't know, where to get the locale source for the current TB version :-(
I confirm this issue as a user of the german locale. And another issue regarding locales: After an update of thunderbird, all folder names are in English until the next restart.
Just someone who is going to fix that? It's annoying when all send their invitations in German, but not the gentoo users.
Still an issue with 17.0.6, worked around here by installing the 1.9.1 release manually.
Near three years from the bug was opened. Dear developers would you be so kind and give us some comments or may be fix this bug? I've tried to do it my self, but I'm not skilled enough in ebuild creation.

This is still an issue on 24.1.0. Previously, I was able to install the lightning add-on from AMO where the localization files were included, but after updating it now to 2.6.2 this no longer works. The following solution mentioned above still works: 1) Download corresponding add-on from AMO website. 2) Extract chrome/lightning-<language code>.jar and chrome/calendar-<language code>.jar into /usr/lib/thunderbird/extensions/{e2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103}/chrome. 3) Add the two lines to the chrome.manifest (similar to comment #1). I believe these steps could be done automatically in install. In fact I have added such steps to my post_install in /etc/portage/bashrc, which I only need to modify slightly before each release so that the URL points to the correct version of the add-on (though I guess there aren't many changes nowadays, at least not for my locale). Of course, I'd rather like to work on a solution for the ebuild, but this package takes such a f.....g long time to compile...
Created attachment 362642 [details] bashrc In case anyone's interested and find's it useful, here is my bashrc snippet (needs to be in /etc/portage/bashrc) one can use to download the latest AMO lightning xpi package, unzip the locale files and add the appropriate entries to chrome.manifest. It is slightly hackish and may not be 100% error prove, but it should work in most cases and supports multiple locales too.
You need to alter the lib64 path to lib of course if you're on 32 bit. I guess one could add another check here to see if that target directory exists...
Created attachment 362704 [details, diff] patch to thunderbird-24.1.0-r1 ebuild This is a patch to the ebuild itself, based on the bashrc script above. I haven't tested it yet but everything looks like it should work OK. Let me know how it works. It's not ideal as it grabs the langpacks from a binary build of lightning -- an ideal solution would generate them, I think. However, it's certainly better than nothing.
Created attachment 362744 [details, diff] patch to thunderbird-24.1.0-r1.ebuild Fixed an oops on the install path and the path of chrome.manifest being modified.
Created attachment 362804 [details, diff] patch to thunderbird-24.0.1-r1.ebuild Final version. GDATA-Provider has localizations too, so those should also be installed to match LINGUAS when they can. Also did some various cleanups, made sure mozlinguas was being used properly, etc. After reviews from other mozilla dev's I'll get this into the tree, perhaps with the next thunderbird version bump.

Thanks a lot for taking care of this.
(In reply to Daniel Pielmeier from comment #22) > Thanks a lot for taking care of this. No problem. that said, since I don't have a system using anything but default locales, if someone that needs these other locales can test and report back that it's all working, I'd appreciate it.

I installed the ebuild with your modifications. Localization of lightning works, but the gdata add-on does not show up in the add-ons manager so google calendars do not work. In previous versions there was a calendar-timezone add-on as well but I think this has been integrated into lightening.

Hm; i am having the same issues with gdata-provider not existing by default. Unsure why, since it's installed properly as far as I can tell.. Do you recall if it was working prior to this patch?
There is one bug in the gdata part but it is not responsible for the missing add-on. The local variable c is not defined. It shouldn't be a variable but the string gdata-provider instead.
Hm, the google calendars do not work with the unmodified version was well.
Found the reason. The em:id for the gdata-provider is wrong it should be a62ef8ec-5fdc-40c2-873c-223b8a6925cc instead of 3550f703-e582-4d05-9a08-453d09bdfdc6. If you rename the extensions directory the provider works.
Created attachment 362816 [details, diff] thunderbird-24.1.0-r2.diff Attached diff includes a fix for the addition of the locale to chrome.manifest and a quick and dirty fix for the wrong em:id.

Thanks! Based on what the code does, I think it would suffice to just swap the old {3550f703-e582-4d05-9a08-453d09bdfdc6} for the new {a62ef8ec-5fdc-40c2-873c-223b8a6925cc} ... no need to extract it in one place and then move it to another, afaict. Again, will confirm with the rest of mozilla herd and get the ebuild updated.

Land it all on mozilla overlay and tree Ian. All looks sane and you have reports of success so you have my go ahead.

Even better, I just was not sure if anything else installs there so I renamed the directory afterwards. Again thanks for taking care of this.
