Related to #6148. I asked Copilot to go through our strings to add comments to anything that was ambiguous or translated incorrectly in some language. Updating the comments does not trigger a re-translation, so we still need to submit a bug to the loc team.

That is annoying; do you know if we change the symbol name and comment it would trigger? As in, we update the comment and change it to LocalizedStringResourceName2.

I'm not sure. I know in some cases if they see that a string is the same as another they may just use the same translation, but I don't know if they consider comments.
