kiki3480976dError messages shouldn't contain conjecture. You saying “probably” means you don't know. Who knows then?
What I need to know is:
1. Is it you or is it me
2. If it is me, how do I fix it ASAP. If instructions are too long, give me a link to some readme.
3. If it's you, tell me you already know about the error and will follow up in email when you fix it, or give me a link/email to report the error to you.
“Oopsie daisy, an error, we know nothing, we won't tell you anything” is how you lose customers. I'm paying you ffs.
If your project is free and open source, nothing listed above applies. -
Lensflare1588975d@kiki true. It‘s sad that we need to explain this to so many stakeholders, who come up with those messages.

kiki3480975d@Lensflare nah, I don't believe a stakeholder cares about an error message about locale files not loading correctly. You have to explain that to your manager at best, and those have the intelligence of Half-Life 1 cockroach AI. Shouldn't be too hard to learn how to deal with them
