- [nitpick] Consider specifying which XML elements this refers to (for example,
<target>elements with astateattribute) to make the instruction clearer.
- Avoid modifying .xlf files and instead prompt the user to update them using the `/t:UpdateXlf` target on MSBuild. Correctly automatically modified .xlf files have elements with state `needs-review-translation` or `new`.

Copilot often tells me I shouldn't have updated xlf files manually but I never do that. For example #49769 (comment). I've updated the instructions so hopefully that works better.
