Localization of MAUI Windows UWP app – Replacing `x-generate` with individual languages required?

[SetTrend]

Type of issue

Missing information

Description

On the Localization page, in the Windows paragraph, it reads:

Replace <Resource Language="x-generate"> with <Resource /> elements for each of your supported languages

However, on the Resource page for UWP apps it reads:

If you have string/image/file resources in your Visual Studio project that have language qualifiers in their names (see Tailor your resources for language, scale, high contrast, and other qualifiers), then you can put the following in your app package manifest source file (Package.appxmanifest).

<Resources>
  <Resource Language="x-generate" />
</Resources>

What's right?

For MAUI, do we need to manually replace the x-generate value with explicit language identifiers or will they automatically be generated if any localized resources are found in the MAUI project?
