Install new language packs into existing profiles #27

Closed mfschumann closed 1 year ago

mfschumann commented 1 year ago

Updating the flatpak from 102.2.2-bb16 to 102.3.0-bb17 added an Italian localization. For a newly created user profile IT appears in the list of selectable localizations as expected, but for an existing profile, the IT language pack is not installed automatically. Judging from the time stamps in ~/.var/app/eu.betterbird.Betterbird/.thunderbird/<profile>/extensions/ the language packs that were present before the update were updated to the newest version. So the only thing missing seems to be installation of newly available language packs that the user requests via flatpak's languages or extra-languages config option to existing profiles.

Is there anything we can do about this?

The behavior does not seem to be fully reproducible: 

flatpak uninstall eu.betterbird.Betterbird
flatpak config --user --set extra-languages es
flatpak install --user eu.betterbird.Betterbird

adds the previously unavailable es-AR localization to the list of selectable localizations for all profiles, including existing ones.
