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.

Research direction
Locate the source files that generate the /help output for vbc and csc. These are likely in the Roslyn compiler codebase under the features or options directories. Update the description for /preferreduilang to clarify the syntax, e.g., '/preferreduilang:<language>', and list possible language values.
