Side? Bottom? menu
Folder panes on the left "should" be in the language of the mail server, although local folders will be localized. In your case to EN.
Perhaps you could post a screen shot of what you are seeing.
Menus on left in English , menus on bottom and on the right are in German emails are in English

I got that the first time. I have a menu on the top. None on the left and none on the bottom. Hence my request for an image showing what you see.
At this point I do not even understand the question.
Here's a screen shot, menus on the right in German and on the bottom and everything else in English, I think I some how got a German version when I first installed it ...as per other advice I uninstalled it and went to Mozilla site and re-installed ( 6 times) with the correct English US version. I am in the US Northeast area I am not German ( US English) ...Something here is stuck in German ( settings, profile ??) and I can't get rid of it very annoying, however I can still get my emails as you can see.. Did I mention brand new HP Envy and windows 10.. couldn't get windows live mail and window 10 no provision for Contacts ( windows 10 email is junk) found Thunderbird decided to give it a try so all new installs
On the toolbar 
then 
Locate and remove the lightning calendar add-on.
Restart Thunderbird Reinstall lightning.
All the German is inserted by the add-on. So what is "stuck" is the lightning version.
If that does not work. remove lightning. and download it from here https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/lightning/ which explicitly inserts the EN_US in the page so you get the EN_US version
Then install the downloaded XPI file using the instructions from here. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/installing-addon-thunderbird#w_a-slightly-less-ideal-case

Because I am too busy answering questions here to write how to articles with pictures. People need pictures, as I did here.
