Lightning in the wrong language
Since the last update (52.9.1?) Lightning is now in English. Thunderbird is in Irish and before the update so was Lightning, but for some reason this has changed. How can I fix this?
Ubuntu 18.04 Thunderbird 52.9.1 Lightning 5.4.9.1
Language packs/locales for en, en_US, en_GB and ga_IE are installed (presumably by the system according to the language fallbacks I have set), but none of this has changed.

You should ask in an Ubuntu forum which exact package for Lightning you need to install.
That’s not a helpful suggestion. There is no special knowledge of Thunderbird or Lightning on Ubuntu forums and this happened after a Thunderbird update. Does Mozilla really have zero standards? Do you ask all Windows users to go ask questions elsewhere? Does this forum have an attitude problem?
See if this helps. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1224882#answer-1163524

Most likely this is not a Thunderbird problem per se, but one about Ubunty packaging. Hence the suggestion to ask in an Ubunty forum.
and this happened after a Thunderbird update.
There was no problem updating here. As said before, I do not use any distribution packages for Thunderbird.
Does this forum have an attitude problem?
I don't think so.
No, that was a singularly unhelpful suggestion.
That has nothing at all to do with the language that Lightning is using.
