I don't see any progress here. Meanwhile some corresponding Bugs at
Thunderbird's Bugzilla have been closed because this localization issue
is a packaging problem and they decided not to provide any new
(localized) Lightning versions via AddOn functionality because they
already ship it with thunderbird. But ubuntu doesn't. Fact is that there
is no way (aside from extracting lightning from the official Thunderbird
distributioin) to have Thunderbird with localized calendar in ubuntu.

This package bug should have been resolved 8,5 years ago but the users
were pushed to install lightning from AddOns instead (a dirty workaround
in my eyes). Now this option finally disappeared and nobody seems to
care because this is such an old bug?!?

This is so frustrating. :(
