Comprehensive resource type translations #180

Open weikanglim opened 2 years ago

weikanglim commented 2 years ago

We currently have built up a limited list of static translations for ARM resource types, with dynamic translation for Microsoft.Web/sites which translates to Function app vs App Service depending on the resource properties.

We should investigate how to provide a more comprehensive list of resource type translations. Ideally, all resource types should be translated.

One idea is to use the RP's registered operations -- it includes displayName for resources, but this is not the source of truth of what the user sees in Azure Portal / mobile.

Example for using RP registered operations

The real source of truth is to somehow replicate the UX asset definitions that Azure UX currently uses. It includes static translations, and also some metadata to describe how resources should be translated differently based on the resource's kind property.

We'd need to work with the team if we consume it directly. We'd also need to verify this works for custom, user registered resource providers.
