Unfortunately this created an unexpected problem. Until now, I've been using Lightning as a plugin on my french localized system. Thunderbird is localized using this package. Now the mail client part of Thunderbird is in French, but the new built-in Lightning is only in english.
After some more research, I found the culprit. Language packs for Firefox and Thunderbird don't have any versioning information, they're just named $LANG-$ARCH.xpi, as you can see here:
My SlackBuild script includes a simple wget line for fetching the localization tarballs, but since they're all named the same, I did think about manually erasing the old files when building the 32-bit package, but forgot to do that for the 64-bit package. Hence the confusion.
Anyway, problem solved.

mozilla-thunderbird-langpack-38.3.0-x86_64-2_microlinux.txz: Rebuilt.
Previous version packaged the wrong localization tarball, which resulted in
missing translations for the Lightning calendar.
+--------------------------+
As I stated in my previous message, the latest french language pack is installed.
I just mentioned that because the file size of the French language pack on your microlinux.fr server is 438K, although the current one on mozilla.org is 469K.
