I downloaded the language pack but it didn't translate the menus. Tried to switch languages back and forth. Restart app. Change the priority order. Nothing solves it.

My system date e numbers are set to portuguese, but not my OS. Thunderbird is not the first software to confuse these settings.

It kind of pisses me off because finding documentation in English is way more easier. Also I work on a English speaking environment. Really difficult to communicate with inconsistent UI language.

Also worth mentioning that going to Account Configuration (right clicking top level account on sidebar, the choosing "Configurar conta", on the main window), it shows everything in Portuguese. (See image)

If there's a cheap and quick solution for installing a complete English version, instead of dealing with language packs, I'd like to know where to get it.

Exit Thunderbird. Uninstall Thunderbird. Download and install 'English British' version from this link: https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/all/
