Original Pull Request: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/pull/10446

State: closed
Merged: Yes


This commit introduces localization for the "Open in Windows Terminal"
menu item and differentiates it based on compile-time branding (rather
than runtime detection!).

@leonMSFT's tray icon pull request had the excellent idea to use the
TerminalApp's resource compartment for auxiliary resources for projects
that can't otherwise be localized the same way. Doing localization in
the shell extension (or WindowsTerminal.exe) would require us to use
MUIRCT and split the build process up to support mui files. That's a
huge amount of work... but this is not a huge amount of work.

Fixes #6112
