"Compose New Message" and "Contacts" are untranslated when Thunderbird is running

Seems like a temporary PO file issue with me.

BTW, you've uploaded the same image twice :)

Thank you for your bug report, what locale do your use? Do the translations work in the software?

sorry, about images, now it should be correct.

I use
LC_MESSAGES=sk_SK.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE=sk_SK.UTF-8
LANG=en_GB.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=sk:en

Thunderbird in Slovak language, also unity quicklist is translated, only when I start Thunderbird, Message Menu changes it to english.

LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 seems wrong, does it happen if you use a correct LANG value?

LANG is for locale, like time format, currency and so, I have changed it to Slovak (logout, log in, checked over printenv) and thunderbird behaved same.

I am in UK, but I use Slovak translations, because I am translator, but I use english locale

ok, dunno then, indicator-messages didn't change since oneiric and it works here with a french locale so I guess it's an issue somewhere in your locale or tb

can you run command? text in france = "Compose New Message" in france
grep -rs "text in france" /usr/share/locale*

The translation are stored in the .xpi, the archive one seems translated are you sure you didn't install a local version?

ok, seems a bug on the tb side

Yes, it is in XPI, sorry about this grep. Anyway, I really do not understand, why thunderbird overrides translation in message menu.

This bug was fixed in the package thunderbird - 10.0~b4+build1-0ubuntu1

---------------
thunderbird (10.0~b4+build1-0ubuntu1) precise; urgency=low

  * New upstream release from the beta channel (THUNDERBIRD_10_0b4_BUILD1)

  * Update messagingmenu to 0.9.1
    - Fixes LP: #917920 - Messaging menu entries untranslated for Slovak
    - Fixes LP: #917154 - Add Japanese translations
    - Add Spanish translations
    - Don't spawn a new Thunderbird instance when being activated from the
      messaging menu (thus relying on the remoting logic). Instead, use
      the nsIWindowMediator and nsIWindowWatcher interfaces directly
    - Don't keep the main window in the scope of our shared JS module, as
      we're probably going to leak it. Instead, use nsIWindowMediator to
      find the main window when we need it (eg, to switch tabs). Also, use
      nsITimer rather than window.setTimeout().
  * Make it possible to do per-arch patches too
    - update debian/build/enable-dist-patches.pl
    - update debian/rules
    - update debian/patches/series
  * Fix LP: #908508 - Add patch from upstream to fix powerpc build failure.
    Only apply this patch on powerpc to avoid compromising the quality of
    the architectures that we care about
    - add debian/patches/fix-build-failure-without-yarr-jit2.patch
    - update debian/patches/series
  * Also make the previous powerpc build fix apply on ppc only
    - update debian/patches/series
