Done! I've reverted all *.lcl files and non-English *.resx files as requested, keeping only the main English Resources.resx file with the updated product name. I've also updated .github/copilot-instructions.md with guidelines to avoid modifying auto-managed localization files in the future. The changes are in commit 900fb7e. |

This PR addresses the issue of outdated "Mono for Android" product name references appearing in error messages and user-facing text throughout the codebase. The product is now called ".NET for Android" and all user-facing references should reflect the current naming.
Changes Made
CallbackCode.cs- Exception message for JNIEnv compatibility issuesGetAppSettingsDirectory.cs- Directory path and commentsjavadoc-to-mdoc.cs- API documentation generationVerification
The only remaining "Mono for Android" reference is in
Documentation/project-docs/ApkSharedLibraries.md, which appropriately documents the historical evolution from "Mono for Android" through "Xamarin.Android" to the current ".NET for Android".Fixes #8574.
