2 Stefan Hammer:
Langpacks are for interface. Can you see langpack xpi files in 'extensions' 
directory? Are langpacks enabled in about:addons? Did you restart thunderbird? 
Maybe your environment variable (LANG) is not set correctly (for example you 
selected english in gdm screen). Try to run thunderbird with proper LANG 
variable from terminal, e.g:
# LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8 thunderbird

Bug description:
  Hi.
  After upgrading thunderbird to version 12.0.1+build1-0ubuntu0.10.04.1 on 
10.04 I cannot see any system-wide langpack in the addons menu. The reason of 
it is that somehow (I think it's the order of package installation/configuring 
) '/usr/lib/thunderbird/extensions' becomes a directory while upgrade  (it 
should be symlink to '/usr/lib/thunderbird-addons/etenstions' normally). So, 
all langpacks stays in '/usr/lib/thunderbird-addons/extensions', but 
thunderbird doesn't detect them. I don't see this problem on 12.04, I think 
it's because it already had /usr/lib/thunderbird folder before upgrade, but 
ubuntu 10.04 used /usr/lib/thunderbird-a.b directories for storing thunderbird 
package data earlier, so it has this problem.

  A quick solution is:
  mv /usr/lib/thunderbird/extensions/* /usr/lib/thunderbird-addons/extensions
  rmdir  /usr/lib/thunderbird/extensions
  ln -s /usr/lib/thunderbird-addons/extensions /usr/lib/thunderbird

  This bug has already affected many machines in our office.

  Thanks.
