+- [ ] The plugin target framework has to be net8.0-windows. All dependencies should be compatible with .NET 8.
 
 Some localization steps can only be done after the first pass by the localization team to provide the localized resources.
 In the PR that adds a new plugin, reference a new issue to track the work for fully enabling localization for the new plugin.
