Description
### Type of issue
Missing information
### Description
On the Localization page, in the [Windows](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/maui/fundamentals/localization#windows) paragraph, it reads:
> Replace `` with `` elements for each of your supported languages
However, on the [Resource page for UWP apps](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/uwp/schemas/appxpackage/uapmanifestschema/element-resource#remarks) it reads:
> If you have string/image/file resources in your Visual Studio project that have language qualifiers in their names (see [Tailor your resources for language, scale, high contrast, and other qualifiers](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/app-resources/tailor-resources-lang-scale-contrast?branch=live)), then you can put the following in your app package manifest source file (`Package.appxmanifest`).
> ```xml
>
>

> ```
What's right?
For MAUI, do we need to manually replace the `x-generate` value with explicit language identifiers or will they automatically be generated if any localized resources are found in the MAUI project?
