1469678 - Calendar isn't translated when using langpacks.

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Calendar :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Tom Prince [:tomprince]]

We currently don't publish the lightning extension separately from the thunderbird (in taskcluster), nor do we include the localized files in the thunderbird langpacks (though I'm not sure if things are setup so that the extension can load localizations from a langpack).

This means that a user using a langpack won't get a translated calendar.

It works well. I created my own language pack for lightning.

I must say, this is unfortunate for us (Fedora and RHEL). Is there a way to roll this back?

Arch and Arch-based system users have the same issue. Lightning calendar is part of Thunderbird but its localization is not part of the Thunderbird localization.

[Eckard Berberich]

As a workaround I always replace the built-in localized Lightning version with the actual multi-lingual version downloaded from the add-ons page https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-us/thunderbird/addon/lightning/
Works for the mac version (and Windows I presume) but I don't know whether this works for Linux, too.

[Martin Schröder [:mschroeder]]

As Lightning is no longer distributed as an add-on but as integrated component of Thunderbird, this bug is no longer relevant. Resolving as WONTFIX.

That is a perfect fix in this case! Thank you :)
