Pull request overview
Updates Turkish (tr-TR) localized strings to better align with the current en-US messaging and UI wording for WSL CLI output and Settings UI.
Changes:
- Refines multiple tr-TR CLI/status messages (wording, punctuation, and clarity) while preserving
{}placeholder usage. - Adjusts several Settings-related strings (e.g., GUI apps help text, ignored ports description) to better match en-US intent and formatting.
You can also share your feedback on Copilot code review. Take the survey.

@yeelam-gordon - thanks for the fix. However these localization files are auto-generated so the correct way to fix them is to file a bug with the localization team. Reach out to me via Teams and I'll give you the link. |
Add <comment> elements to en-US/Resources.resw providing translation guidance for technical terms that are frequently mistranslated: - File formats (tar, VHD) should not be translated - Technical terms (mount, swap, sparse, DNS, proxy) need locale-appropriate terms - Safe mode should use standard OS terminology These comments help the localization team produce more accurate translations without directly modifying locale-specific files.
