The program’s **display language** is not English (for example, German, French, Japanese, etc.). 2. Most search engines and programming forums (like Stack Overflow or GitHub) work best with **English error messages**. 3. It can be hard to find solutions because the error text is in a local language. The proposed feature aims to solve this by: 1. **Openable English error message:** * The software would include an **optional English version of the error message**. * It could appear as a small button or expandable section in the error dialog: something like “Show error in English.”, like the way how mintupdate does it. * This allows the user to **understand the technical meaning** even if their OS or software is localized. 2. **Copy or search button:** * Provide a **button to copy the error message to the clipboard**. * And a **button that directly opens a browser search** for the error message (using the default search engine). * This helps users **quickly find solutions online** without manually translating the message. --- ### Benefits * Easier troubleshooting for **non-English users**. * Reduces time wasted trying to **interpret localized errors**. * Makes **community support** more effective since the message is standardized in English. * Improves accessibility for **international developers**. --- ### Example Scenario Imagine you are using a software in Hungarian. An error pops up: ``` Hiba történt a fájl betöltése közben: A fájl nem található. ``` With this feature, the dialog could have: * An expandable English translation: ``` Error loading file: File not found ``` * Two button: a **\[Copy] and a **\[Search]**, which copy the message to clipboard and the another opens your default browser and searches in the default search engine for `"Error loading file: File not found"`. --- In short, it’s about making **error dialogs multilingual-friendly and instantly searchable**, helping users find solutions faster.
