Description
Add localization infrastructure for user-facing strings
Type of Change
Why
Hardcoded L"Cut" / L"Copy" etc. can't be translated. Loading from a STRINGTABLE resource
enables future multi-language support via MUI satellite DLLs — no code changes needed to add translations.
Resolves #15480
What
Replaced hardcoded English strings ("Cut", "Copy", "Paste", "Select All") in TextInput and Text context menus
with localized strings loaded from a Win32 STRINGTABLE resource at runtime.
Screenshots
Testing
Tested in playground
