Original Pull Request: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/pull/12264

State: closed
Merged: Yes


This should be most of the surfaces that we really care about for displaying "Windows Terminal". There's a pile of other references in code, but I couldn't find any other resources that mention it.

I left a lot of the references to Windows Terminal throughout. Seemed like it was fine to keep calling it that in most places, just these localized strings that are going to be displayed in the Shell that should be changed.

Rough compare:

The strings were also moved to the Context Menu resources file, because that's localized into more languages.

@DHowett we may want to spin a full build to make sure this works and I didn't miss anything
