MSBuild Localization

Messages for new MSBuild error codes live in MSBStrings.resx.

If changes are made to MBStrings.resx, you will hit:

XliffTasks.targets(91,5): error : 'xlf\MSBStrings.cs.xlf' is out-of-date with 'MSBStrings.resx'.
Run `msbuild /t:UpdateXlf` to update .xlf files or set UpdateXlfOnBuild=true to update them on every build,
but note that it is strongly discouraged to set UpdateXlfOnBuild=true in official/CI build environments
as they should not modify source code during the build.

To regenerate the .xlf files run:

$ msbuild msbuild/Xamarin.Localization.MSBuild/Xamarin.Localization.MSBuild.csproj -restore -t:UpdateXlf

For mtouch, Errors.resx contains the localizable strings. Use these commands instead to update .xlf files:

$ nuget restore tools
$ msbuild tools/mtouch/mtouch.csproj -t:UpdateXlf

For generator, src/Resources.resx, contains the localizable strings. To update the .xlf files:

$ nuget restore src
$ msbuild src/generator.csproj -t:UpdateXlf

NOTE: nuget restore can be used instead of the MSBuild -restore switch for projects using packages.config

See dotnet/xliff-tasks or Xamarin.Android's documentation for details.
