Your local language ist set to en_CA, not en_GB. Thunderbird is using this locale setting from the system. > (charmap=UTF-8) > Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash > Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) > > Versions of packages thunderbird-l10n-en-gb depends on: > ii thunderbird 1:52.2.1-4 > > Versions of packages thunderbird-l10n-en-gb recommends: > ii hunspell-en-ca 1:5.2.5-1 > ii hunspell-en-gb 1:5.2.5-1 > > thunderbird-l10n-en-gb suggests no packages. > > -- no debconf information > From Debian's source repository, I upgraded to the latest release of > Thunderbird.

You need to run Thunderbird with a different setting of the LANG variable if you want to use a different UI language than your local locale setting. This can be simply done by adjusting the LANG environment to the desired language, for example on the cli: $ LANG=en_GB.utf8 thunderbird I don't know the specific diffences between en_CA, en_US and en_GB so I can't say what the Ui needs to show in which menu. > PS, I tried to use the reportbug program, but the email it generated > bounced back to me for some reason.

Mostly you need to adjust those settings and the desired MTA to use. exim is the default MTA on a Debian installation which expected a valid MDA to send data to the local email server. If you want to work further with reportbug and bts I suggest to take a look at the package nullmailer. The setting of your email name and address can be done by setting variables DEBEMAIL and DEBFULLNMAE, e.g. DEBEMAIL=your_n...@provider.tld DEBFULLNAME="Mister Fantastic" export DEBEMAIL DEBFULLNAME Regards Carsten
