User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/141.0.0.0 Safari/537.36
Steps to reproduce:
Open Thunderbird 144.0.1 (64-bit) with an IMAP account configured.
Navigate to the folder list (left pane) where localized folder names (e.g., «Отправленные», «Черновики», «Удалённые», «Спам») should be visible.
Observe the folder names in the interface, now displayed in English
Actual results:
The IMAP folders that were previously displayed with localized Russian names («Отправленные», «Черновики», «Удалённые», «Спам») are now shown in English (e.g., «Sent», «Drafts», «Trash», «Junk»). The localization of folder names has been lost, and the interface reverts to English labels despite the system/application language settings being in Russian.
The inbox folder is still displayed in the localized version of the selected language.
Expected results:
The IMAP folders should retain their localized Russian names («Отправленные», «Черновики», «Удалённые», «Спам») as they did in previous versions of Thunderbird. The folder names should match the user’s language preferences set in the application.
System and Thunderbird language is set to Russian.
No changes were made to the account settings or language preferences prior to noticing the issue.
The inbox folder is still displayed in the localized version of the selected language.
This issue is specific to Thunderbird 144.0.1 (64-bit); previous versions did not exhibit this behavior.
This bug affects user experience by breaking localization, which may confuse users who expect to see folder names in their preferred language. It also disrupts workflow for Russian-speaking users who rely on localized interface elements.
Please investigate and restore the localization of IMAP folder names in Russian for Thunderbird 144.0.1 (64-bit).

Hi,
I recognize this bug is closed, but we are looking for some testing of a fix for this issue as soon as possible (release is Tues Jan 13th).
We have a fix that we are uplifting to 147.0 that limits localization of special folder names to specific names, and adds the mail.useLocalizedFolderNames preference to toggle that localization.
To test you will have to install Thunderbird from https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/thunderbird/candidates/147.0b5-candidates/build1/. Note that we don't plan to release an official 147.0b5 because we already merged beta->release and it gets complicated to unwind the merge.
Please reach out with any feedback, good or bad, if you're able to test.
Thanks in advance,
Corey
