General API changes

Third-party developers now have access to Trados Studio's custom language registry, which offers finer control over language management than the language registry provided by Microsoft.

Following this change, CultureCode is now the recommended alternative to the standard CultureInfo.

To ensure compatibility with Studio and other RWS system interfacing with Studio, fetch the language info using our internal language registry:

Example:

```cs
try
{
    var language = LanguageRegistryApi.Instance.GetLanguage("fr-FR");        
}
catch(UnsupportedLanguageException ex)
{
    // language is not suported
}
```

This method returns a Language object. If the language is not found or the language code is incorrect UnsupportedLanguageException is thrown.

CultureInfo objects are still accessible via the following call:

Example:

```cs
var ci = LanguageRegistryApi.Instance.GetLanguage("fr-FR").CultureInfo;        
```

Use of the .NET runtime language registry, such as the following example, is not recommended as it may have unexpected results.

Example:

```cs
// These lines create CultureInfo from .NET runtime, so results can vary across platforms and Windows OS versions
var ci = new CultureInfo("en-US");
ci = CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("en-US");      
```
                                                    ??

To ensure consistency across the application when comparing the string representation of the language codes, we recommend using the CultureCode wrapper.

Example:

```cs
var cultureCode = new CultureCode("fr-FR");
```

Dependency version changes

The following is a list of known dependency version changes that may influence your integration with the latest Trados Studio 2024 APIs; this is typically seen from standalone applications that are running outside of the Trados Studio context. To resolve these references, include the following binding redirects in the configuration file of the project.
