Research direction

Start with the WinGet CLI localization resources for the winget source list output and inspect the German entry for “Explicit”. Run winget source list on a German system to verify the corrected wording and ensure the source list still renders the column correctly.

Brief description of your issue

The german translation of winget source list translates "Explicit", aka whether a source should be implicitely used on only when the source is explicitely specified, as "Anstößig", which is the meaning of explicit like in explicit content.

Name           Argument                                                            Anstößig
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
msstore        https://storeedgefd.dsx.mp.microsoft.com/v9.0                       false
winget         https://cdn.winget.microsoft.com/cache                              false
winget-font    https://cdn.winget.microsoft.com/fonts                              true

(I do hope the font repository doesn't have explicit content...)

Steps to reproduce

Run winget source list on a german system.

Expected behavior

"explicit" should be translated correctly.

Actual behavior

"explicit" is not translated correctly.
