Description of the new feature

I want to make translation. Is it allowed and can be merged into repo?

Proposed technical implementation details

As I see all translation lives here:

https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/tree/main/src/cascadia/TerminalSettingsEditor/Resources

So I can create new one?

You're welcome to give it a shot. We'd probably want to validate early on what happens if a string resource gets added to the automatically generated languages, but not the Ukrainian translation. Does it fall back to en-US? Something else? So long as it uses something (and doesn't crash), then I'd be more than happy to accept the help!

But otherwise, I left a bunch of notes on this over in #10667. See specifically: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/10667#issuecomment-1536527338

Best of luck!
