Description
> [!IMPORTANT]
> 📌 Plan of record: **https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/15596#issuecomment-1612163250**
> We should try to avoid using resources from languages we're only partially localized into (if that's even possible)
### Windows Terminal version
1.17.11461.0
### Windows build number
10.0.19045.3086
### Other Software
N/A
### Steps to reproduce
Open Windows Terminal. That's it.
System languages installed (in order of preference):
- Polish (display)
- Japanese
- Korean
- Russian
### Expected Behavior
Windows Terminal opens in my preferred system language (Polish), falling back to English (as it is the *de facto* lingua franca) if that's not possible.
### Actual Behavior
I'd like to provide more details, but I can't stop laughing.
