Description

vbc /help and csc /help contain the line

/preferreduilang                  Specify the preferred output language name.

But it is not clear if the preferred UI lang appears after a colon or equal sign or space, or what the possible values are or what its syntax is.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the help text generation code for csc and vbc, and add a clear description of the /preferreduilang syntax including the expected format (colon, equal sign, or space) and possible values.
