Description
Currently, the strings are referenced by number (e.g. `Resources._1045`). Ideally, we'd have a more descriptive resource name (e.g. `Resources.NoOutputInformationAvailable`).

Research direction
Start by locating the template VSIXes and their Resources files, then inspect how numeric resource names such as Resources._1045 are generated and referenced. Replace those names with descriptive string-based names, including the example Resources.NoOutputInformationAvailable, and verify that all affected template references still resolve.
