Thunderbird Portable in Other Languages

Mozilla Thunderbird, Portable Edition 3 RC 2 is available packaged in the following languages:

If your language of choice is not listed, there are 2 methods of getting Thunderbird Portable to appear in your locale:

Method 1: Copy it right in

The easiest way to get Thunderbird Portable in your own language is to simply copy a local installation of Thunderbird 3 Beta (in your prefered language) into Portable Thunderbird. To do this:

1. Install Thunderbird Portable to your portable device as outlined on the support page
2. Delete all the files within the ThunderbirdPortable\App\Thunderbird\ directory
3. Copy your local Thunderbird files to that same directory (you can usually find them in C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\ ).
4. Use Thunderbird Portable as normal

You now have Thunderbird Portable in your own language. Messages from the launcher will still be in English (Ex: Another copy of Thunderbird is running...). This will be resolved in a future release.

Method 2: Language Packs and Locale Switcher - Not For 3.0

The locale switcher does not yet work with Thunderbird 3
