Provide a build target that disables localization

Issue Type: Bug

Behaviour

Failed to load message bundle. See console for details. instead of the normal options for the debugging tool (among other things)

Steps to reproduce:

1. Load the extension v2022.8.0
2. Look a the output tabs for the Python-related ones
3. Try to debug a file
4. All options have that title

Diagnostic data

• Python version (& distribution if applicable, e.g. Anaconda): 3.9.9
• Type of virtual environment used (e.g. conda, venv, virtualenv, etc.): Pyenv
• Value of the python.languageServer setting: Default

Output for Python in the Output panel (View→Output, change the drop-down the upper-right of the Output panel to Python)

I hope it’s the right tab

Hi all 👋 I own the translations pipeline for vscode extensions that the vscode team owns.

Feel free to get an issue going in Microsoft/vscode about having translations of OSS extensions to be open sourced. I’m not against it, it was just easier for me to combine all of the extensions we own in one place and since there are some closed sourced extensions I had to keep it closed but I have a couple ideas on how to open the ones that are open.

Can you build the extension as well? Or are you only able to download a binary and are not able to set up e.g. GitHub Actions to do a build yourself?

Yeah that’s what we do currently, if there’s a GitHub release with the VSIX file we use that otherwise we build it from sources. In the particular case of the Python extension the problem is that translations are not part of the repo and as you said it’s handled by an internal process so in the end we have an “incomplete” build, at the same time the VSIX published to the MS marketplace with the translations is released under MIT license but we can’t download it from there because of its terms of use, that’s why I was asking to also publish it to GitHub releases.

In the meantime I’ll create the issue in the vscode repo as Tyler suggested 🤞 and build the vsix with traslations disabled 🥲
