Hello,

I have an issue when i try exporting contacts from thunderbird as well as when trying to export mailboxes. I have most of the folder names and contacts in greek and whenever i try to export them they look jumbled and unreadable. The english ones look fine as do the special characters, but the greek typing in the folder structures and the contacts is just a garbled mess.

Is there anything that can be done to mitigate or resolve this other than manually renaming everything?

Thank you for the help.

Hi Why are mycket folders on mycket email account in different languages ? Some are in swedish and som are in english for exemple inbox is in english and sent is in swedish Every time i do a new email account its the same This was happen after the last update this week everything was working before last update Please fix this regard manfred

今日Thunderbirdのメーラーを開いたらメールフォルダが英字表記に変わっていました。 具体的には「受信トレイ」は日本語のままなのですが、「送信トレイ」が「Sent」になり「迷惑メール」が「Junk」に変わるといった感じです。 受信トレイ以外はすべて英字表記になっています。 設定にある「言語とフォント」は「日本語」のままで変更はありません。 元に戻す方法をご存じの方がいましたら、ご教示をお願いいたします。

After I installed Thunderbird the day before yesterday and set the language to Dutch, the default folders (such as trash and sent are now displayed in English, while on the server side, these folders are in Dutch. So e.g. instead of Prullenbak it says trash. I also have Thunderbird on another laptop, but those folders are in Dutch, both local and on the server which seems to be logical to me. Why is the language of these default files different on both laptops, and why can't I change the language for the default folders on the latest version I downloaded? Does anyone have an answer?

Thanks in advance Lowell Dykstra

How do you remove English (US) from defaulting on my emails. It is so annoying and would like to just have English (GB) (UK) whichever is more compatible with Thunderbird. Thank you

Die Ordnernamen im POP3 Konto sind plötzlich englisch: Drafts statt Entwurf Templates statt Vorlagen Sent statt Gesendet Archives statt Archiv Trash statt Papierkorb. Wie kann man auf deutsch umstellen?

Добрый день! Я использую вашу программу на русском языке и она мне нравится, но вот беда внешний вид после обновления, половина папок на английском и половина на русском языке, в чём причина?

Witam, Po uruchomieniu Thunderbirda większość nazw folderów zmieniło się na język angielski. Stało się to samoczynnie. Po ponownym ustawieniu języka na Polski problem nie ustępuje. Ktoś pomoże?

I am missing the answer to my question. 😐

Has the word “Papierkorb” been replaced by the word “Trash” in Thunderbird?

Bonjour, Depuis la derniére lise à jour, mes dossiers de messagerie dans Thunderbird son passés en Anglais. OUTBOX au lieu d'envoyés, TRASH au lieu de POUBELLE,etc... Comment avoir de nouveau le nom de mes dossiers en Français? Merci d'avance pour vos conseils et bonne journée. Nicolas

Hallo allerseits,

ich öffne in Thunderbird meine Startseite der EMail und sehe, dass aus dem Buttom mit der Bezeichnung "Papierkorb" nun "Trash" wurde. Und unter "Vorlagen" jetzt heißt es jetzt "Drafts". Kann ich das wieder ins Deutsche herstellen? Meine Frau spricht kein Englisch und ich auch nur ein wenig. Vielen lieben Dank.

Gruß, Josef
