The following code is taken from components/enigmail.js:3207

if (goodSignature) {
	errorMsgObj.value = trustPrefix + EnigGetString("prefGood",userId)

I tried to play around a bit, deleting trustPrefix and changing
„prefGood”. If I delete trustPrefix and add „ăâîșț” to prefGood, the
message is rendered correctly.

Thanks a lot.

If you are using Ubuntu, you may install thunderbird-locale-ro:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/thunderbird-locale-ro. If you have
Hardy, downloading the package and installing it with „dpkg -i
--force-all” should work.

If you're not using Ubuntu, you may download Romanian language pack from
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/users/login?to=downloads%2Ffile%2F35450%2Finterfa_______n_rom__n___pentru_thunderbird_2__romanian_-0.8-tb.xpi&m=1
(required an account), or get the XPI out of the source of the Ubuntu
package.

Please tell me if there's anything else I could do to help.
