Wow, this is incredible. On Windows with mu official 68.1.2 64bit installation I downloaded a Spanish language pack from here
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/thunderbird/releases/68.1.2/win64/xpi/,
installed it and enabled Spanish in the advances settings. I restarted.

Everything was Spanish apart from the folder names. Then I made permissions.sqlite read-only in Windows, restarted, now the folder names were in Spanish. I made the file writeable again, restarted and now the folder names are back to English. That's totally crazy.

OK, so let's find the regression for this, if we can:
Alice, this is going to be difficult. You to know that you can switch languages in the Advanced Settings under Languages if you have pref intl.multilingual.enabled set to true and extensions.langpacks.signatures set to false.

For Dailies, you can find the language packs here, for example:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/thunderbird/nightly/2019/06/2019-06-29-08-44-29-comm-central-l10n/win64/xpi/

Zibi and Francesco: Why would the localisation of folder names, retrieved from a string bundle here:

have anything to do with permissions.sqlite. Any idea? Oops, Zibi has requests blocked :-(
