If it's not, install the locale, the official way: sudo apt-get -y install language-pack-en
Make sure the en_DK.utf8 locale is available (it should already be available if your desktop language is English): locale -a | grep en_DK Not only that, but I don't like creating extra scripts if I don't have to. Sudo sh -c "echo 'root.UTF-8 UTF-8' > /var/lib/locales/supported.d/local"Ĭopy the Thunderbird launcher locally cp /usr/share/applications/sktop ~/.local/share/applications/Ĭhange the date/time locale for Thunderbird sed -i.bak 's/^Exec=thunderbird %u/Exec=env LC_TIME=root.utf8 thunderbird %u/' ~/.local/share/applications/sktopįsando's answer works, but LC_ALL will change the entire locale (date, number, currency format, etc) used by Thunderbird instead of just the date/time format, which is all that's asked for in the question. The following will provide a date/time format that will look like this: 14:23:Ĭreate the root locale sudo ln -s /usr/share/i18n/locales/en_DK /usr/share/i18n/locales/root The way dates and times are formatted in Thunderbird 60 has changed. Now thunderbird can be started as before. Should respond with this: /usr/local/bin/thunderbird Then check if it's being used to start thunderbird: which thunderbird usr/bin/thunderbird sure it's executable sudo chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/thunderbird
1) Make sure you have the locale you need, can't say which you specifically need but when you know you create it like this (using en_DK.utf8) sudo locale-gen en_DK.utf8Ģ) To make sure this locale is in effect for thunderbird you add it to the script that starts thunderbird, so first find that script:Ģa) find the right script which thunderbirdĢb) add locale to the script (I use the editor geany): gksudo geany /usr/bin/thunderbirdĪdd this in the beginning of the script (I just put at the very beginning): LC_ALL="en_DK.utf8"ĮDIT: as pointed out by pl1nk A better solution would be to NOT touch the /usr/bin/thunderbird script and instead create the script '/usr/local/bin/thunderbird' with this content #!/bin/sh
