Description
### Description of the new feature/enhancement
Many packages declare `License: Proprietary` in their en-US manifests. When contributors add a locale manifest (e.g. `*.locale.zh-CN.yaml`), they need to translate such values, but there is nither guidance nor machine-readable reference — even though each language already has a de-facto consensus translation. Today that consensus exists only implicitly across the thousands of existing locale manifests, so every contributor has to rediscover it.
We request that, such consensus should be documented as machine-readable for manifest creators such as Windows Package Manager Manifest Creator (aka winget-create) so that they can prompt contributors when they maintain these manifests.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Review the existing *.locale.zh-CN.yaml manifests and the en-US manifests to understand how localized License values are represented. Then examine the Windows Package Manager Manifest Creator (winget-create) mentioned in the request; done means defining a machine-readable consensus reference and a contributor prompt, with the format and integration point agreed.
