Research direction

Start with platyPS.schema.md and reproduce the reported build using a localized H2 such as “Description” in a cmdlet/ref Markdown file. Trace the validation error for the localized header; done means the schema accepts localized H2 titles and the build passes without reverting them to English.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Area-Localization

Issue:

Currently PowerShell cmdlet/ref schema does not allow localization of header text, including H2 texts. This causes the localized ref topics fail publishing to docs.

Request

Docs - Update PowerSehll cmdlet/ref content schema to support localizing H2 titles in markdown files

Current Workaround:

We have to revert the translated H2 headers for all locales back to English in order to pass the build but this requires lots of unnecessary manual work that creates broken experiences for our international customers.

Steps to reproduce

Localize H2 headers such as “Description”, “Examples”, and “Parameters” and do a build

Expected behavior

Build passes successfully

Actual behavior

Build fails.
