Describe the bug
terminal/src/cascadia/TerminalSettingsEditor/Resources/zh-CN/Resources.resw
image
In the Windows Terminal, the word 'Shell' is incorrectly translated as '外壳' in the Chinese (Simplified) localization. This translation may lead to confusion, as 'Shell' in technical terms usually remains untranslated.

Expected Behavior

The word 'Shell' should not be translated in this context, to avoid misunderstanding among users.

Actual Behavior

Screenshots

Additional context
I recommend keeping 'Shell' untranslated in this and similar technical contexts.
