Now what?

What about the latest French language-pack from Mozilla?

As I stated in my previous message, the latest french language pack is installed.

I investigated the problem a little further, and here's what I found.

Mozilla Thunderbird + Lightning 32-bit are completely translated.
The 64-bit version is missing the Lightning translation.

I've attached two screenshots to illustrate the problem.

Any suggestions?

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:

http://www.microlinux.fr/microlinux/...bird-langpack/

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.

Code:

Sun Oct 18 16:00:54 CEST 2015
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.

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.
