Under Win11, the app name set in the resource file is not displayed when the context menu is collapsed.

The program has been configured to display the program name in multiple languages using the following link and has implemented the IExplorerCommand interface, registering multiple context menu options.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/app-resources/localize-strings-ui-manifest
The code snippet from the Package.appxmanifest file is as follows, with the resource file located at Strings/en-US/Resources.resw.
<uap:VisualElements>
DisplayName="ms-resource:AppDisplayName"
</uap:VisualElements>
After the program is executed, the displayed app name in the Start menu is correct.
In Win11, when the context menu is collapsed in File Explorer, the correct app name is not displayed.
Instead, it shows: ms-resource:AppDisplayName.
The sample code is in branch [AddMultiLangName] at the following URL. https://github.com/zobinimm/Windows-classic-samples
Why doesn't the text displayed in the collapsed context menu of File Explorer show the text set in the resource file?

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!
I didn't find AddMultiLangName in any branch, could you please share its GitHub link?
By the way, can this behavior be reproduced on other win11 device?
Thank you.

The Appname in the Start menu is: Cloud Mirror EN
The Appname in the right-click menu is: ms-resource:DisplayName

I can reproduce the same behavior and it was indeed an unexpected behavior. It works fine in the start menu but displays incorrectly on the context menu.
