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