As of automatic langpack uploads landing, langpacks now appear to be working in the beta Flatpak builds. I've tested this locally on my machine, and although langpacks still do not ship with the flatpak build of Thunderbird (mirroring how the Firefox flatpak does locales), they are now available to be added in settings.

As of automatic langpack uploads landing, langpacks now appear to be working in the beta Thunderbird flatpak builds. I've tested this locally on my machine, and although langpacks still do not ship with the flatpak build of Thunderbird (mirroring how the Firefox flatpak does locales), they are now available to be added in settings. I was able to install Japanese (among other langpacks) and set it as default without any issues.
