Hello First off all I have to say that it is very difficult to choose a version on Thunderdird for a specific language. I'm in Belgium and most of the search will suggest a French version I am almost sure that I've finally select an English version but nevertheless a french version was installed after a few search it seems that the only way to get it in English will be to un-install, try again to find an english version and re-install Is it really SO difficult to get Thunderbird in the right language ?

You do not need to uninstall. Just download and install the version you want. It will install and replace the current version.

I would say uninstall and reinstall is the easy way. you loose no data of any sort and get the result your want.

I do suggest you pick your versions from this page however https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/all/
