## Localization
66+
67+
If you need to add a new localization string or update an existing one, follow these steps:
68+
69+
- Modify `Resource\SR.resx` file adding or updating necessary strings in the project that contains the said strings. (It is often faster/easier to open SR.resx in an XML editor).
70+
- Regenerate the localization files by rebuilding the solution/project from Visual Studio, or by executing `.\build.cmd` command. You can also build just the modified project by running `dotnet build` from the project's root.
