I'd like to contribute, and this issue seems like a good place to start. Seems as trivial as replacing values in .resw files.
What I would like to know is what is expected behavior in localisations for languages that do not have article such as "The" in English.
In some languages WinGet is first word in sentence, I guess it is still expected to be lowercase?
For example, would this be expected behavior for Serbian locale:
It does seem a bit odd to see a line beginning with lowercase letter and fullstop at the end of it and, on the other side, that is the name of the program.

Ladislav Milunović (@lmilunovic) I'm not an expert in any other languages. I would assume that we would be fine with a capital W for winget if it is the first word in a sentence for any language that starts with capital letters for the first word in a sentence.

We are using translation services to populate the resource files. I will see if I can help find a mechanism to contact them to improve the translations for the strings we're using.

The ask here is just to perform the en-US correction(s).
