Since one of the recent thunderbird updates, I discovered that with L10N="en de" the main thunderbird application is in german (which is okay), but the calendar extension is *not* localized (any more). When I inspect the ebuild and distfiles, I found that in the directory where the lightning extension is stored /usr/lib64/thunderbird/distribution/extensions/{e2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103} there are no localisation files except for the en-US locale. In the source-file lightning-4.7.3.tar.xz there are also only files for en-US. When I download the ligtning extension directly from the mozilla webservers and examine the downloaded file (lightning-4.7-sm+tb-linux.xpi) I find many subdirectories with localized files. Also the filesize of the addon archives is quite different - lightning-4.7.3.tar.xz 1.1M versus lightning-4.7-sm+tb-linux.xpi 4.7M - which is another indicator that lightning-4.7.3.tar.xz lacks all the localisation files. I would expect either a localized lighting extension - or a post-install explanation that the bundled lightning extension is *NOT* localized with the hint that a localized lightning extension must then be installed manually (after re-emerging thunderbird without lightning - a time consuming process with user dis-satisfaction guaranteed). Reproducible: Always

Thank-you for alerting me on this -- yes, something has definitely gone wrong with the rollout of locales for lightning. As 45.4 will be released hopefully within a week or two I will make sure it's fixed by then, and if delayed longer than that I'll push another revbump of thunderbird 45.3 with the missing localizations.
This has been addressed in thunderbird-45.3.0-r2 and thunderbird-45.4.0
