Should winget show use literal YAML field names instead of localizing them? #1502

Closed

Description

Brief description of your issue

When doing winget show <pkg> it uses localizable labels for each field, but maybe it should use the exact manifest field names (always English and no spaces)? Not sure if it's better to have it localized or match the manifests exactly.

Steps to reproduce

winget show vscode

Expected behavior

Maybe use the exact manifest field name, e.g.

LicenseUrl: https://code.visualstudio.com/license

Actual behavior

Depending on language, something like:

License Url: https://code.visualstudio.com/license
or
Dirección URL de la licencia: https://code.visualstudio.com/license

(omitting the remaining fields for brevity)

Environment

[winget --info]
Windows Package Manager version
Windows: Windows.Desktop version
Package: Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller version

Any other software?
