My current user interface is English. I want to change this to Dutch. I downloaded and installed the Dutch language package, but how do I activate this package? I run Thunderbird vs 52.5.2 on a Dutch version of Windows 10 (32 bit). One way is to de-install Thunderbird an install the Dutch version, but as I have things up and running fine (apart from the languages) after week full of crashes, I prefer to stay with the current installation and just change the language pack. I assume that should be possible, when language packs are available.

Thanks. It worked fine. I was a bit worried that I had to de-install the English versione first and loose my mails again. Just install over the English version went well. Thank for your help.
