Description
### Windows Version
10.0.26200.7623
### WSL Version
2.6.2.0
### Are you using WSL 1 or WSL 2?
- [x] WSL 2
- [ ] WSL 1
### Kernel Version
6.6.87.2
### Distro Version
Ubuntu 24.04
### Other Software
_No response_
### Repro Steps
Compare the translation of [en-US](https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/blob/master/localization/strings/en-US/Resources.resw) localization strings to Turkish, with the Turkish ones provided [tr-TR](https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/blob/master/localization/strings/tr-TR/Resources.resw)
### Expected Behavior
WSL has proper Turkish translation after merging #14057 .
### Actual Behavior
Some of the prompts are still not properly translated altough localization pipeline was recently automated. There are still numerous mistranslations and typos in the turkish localization file.
Following lines need proper translation due to current translation being low quality (i.e. translation is not even plausible):

I can provide translations as well but using google translate just works.
