The word "rest" should not be translated in the item A_rest_element_cannot_have_a_property_name_2566, otherwise it will be really confusing.

I have checked the other translations in the same file and the translation in cht translation, they both did not translate the word "rest".

These files are generated by a localization team internally and shouldn't be modified by hand. I don't think we can currently accept localization fixes without 1) using that tooling, and 2) the expertise to know that the translations are correct.

Unfortunately, Microsoft fired so many of its translators this year that we don't have budget for fixing anything but critical mistranslations. 💀 It might be possible to switch over to community translations, although I'd have to learn whether that would be possible.

In any case, I think rest should be translated here: it's a jargon word in English, like using or let, with only a weak relation to its usual meaning. It may feel more natural to keep it in English for a programmer who already speaks English, but it will cause a lot of work for a programmer who doesn't speak English. They'll have to memorise it as a new, independent term.

That said, it's quite possible that there is a better translation to Chinese. I don't speak Chinese so I don't have any ideas.
