Description

Storage Explorer Version: 1.11.0
Build Number: 20191105.2
Platform/OS: All
Architecture: All

Bug Description

The delete command for blobs is synthesizing messages from the following strings:

  • Dialog.SingularItemNoun
  • Dialog.PluralItemNoun
  • Dialog.UnknownDeleteWarning
  • Dialog.SoftDeleteSingularRetentionWarning
  • Dialog.SoftDeletePluralRetentionWarning
  • Dialog.DeleteWarning

String synthesis is bad practice for localization, so these strings should be revised.

Research direction

Locate the blob delete command and the six listed Dialog strings, then inspect how the warning messages are composed. The work is done when these warnings no longer rely on runtime string synthesis and are represented in a localization-ready form.
