Unable to remove a selected language in Thunderbird
In Thunderbird's Settings under "Language & fonts, Choose the languages used to display menus, messages, and notifications from Thunderbird" I have selected Danish and English. Now I would like to remove English, because my folder pane is displayed in English, even though I have selected Danish as the first language (I am from Denmark). But I cannot remove English in Settings, only move Danish or English up or down. I cannot click on the Remove check mark, neither for Danish nor English. Does anyone know why?

I did exactly as you described, and it worked brilliantly! My folder names are now in Danish again. You have been very helpful in solving my problems, and I am very grateful. I would not have found out myself. Thanks so much, Mapenzi!

This problem can be very exasperating.I had the same issue English(US) language pack which I couldn't delete in my French Thunderbird version. No guarantee: you may open the Add-ons Manager tab, select Languages and try to remove English(US)
I can't remove English, neither from add-ons nor from the Thunderbird user interface. I have Danish as first language and English as second. My folder pane is now displayed in English. it was in Danish until I put English on as second language. Now I can't get Danish back, because I can't remove English! But thanks for your suggestion.
Now I finally had English removed in Settings under "Language & fonts, Choose the languages used in the Thunderbird user interface", so I only have Danish as language now. But my folder pane is still in English and not in Danish, as it was earlier. How do I get Danish back in my folder pane?
Did you update to v144.0 (release channel- yesterday or today? This version contains a new bug: all special (system) folders except for Inbox have English names (image).
Yes, I did. My folder pane looks like yours. Is there a way I can go back to the earlier version?
In your actual Thunderbird installation first go to Settings > General > Updates and disable automatic updates. Then go to Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Folder > Open folder, then quit Thunderbird. In the profile folder look for the file compatibility.ini and delete it.
Uninstall v144.0, download the Danish v143.0 from https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/thunderbird/releases/143.0/ and install it. Start TB, your folder names should be in Danish again.
