1 Hello. I have
2
3 zhangweiwu@esmeralda:~$ grep --invert-match ^# /etc/locale.gen
4
5 zh_CN.UTF-8 UTF-8
6 en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
7 de_DE.UTF-8 UTF-8
8
9
10 For most applications, I can start it in any language I wish to use.
11 e.g. if I want to start abiword in en_US, I can do this:
12
13 zhangweiwu@esmeralda:~$ LANG=en_US abiword
14
15 However this method doesn't work for firefox and thunderbird. Both
16 always starts in German (note German is the last, a.k.a. least preferred
17 language for me, in /etc/locale.gen)
18
19 I checked that I do have thunderbird installed with linguas_en_US (see
20 below emerge output). If it is installed with that language version, it
21 should be able to run in that language version. How can I start
22 thunderbird in en_US?

24 zhangweiwu@esmeralda:~$ sudo emerge -pv mail-client/mozilla-thunderbird
