so it's a really slow day here today... i've been spending a bit of time going through all the various classes for vanilla and i noticed that all internal error messages (in the sql classes and user classes) are hard coded... my thought, should they be moved into the language library? I think it makes sense to do this, as it helps enable a language consistent site...

    good call, I'd like to replace all of the errors to say "houston, we have uh-oh!"

    lol!

    I actually left all of these errors in plain english on purpose. I can't remember the exact reason why right now, but I know it was a good one.
  • jonezyjonezy New
    maybe for bug reporting?
  • MarkMark Vanilla Staff
    No, there was a programmatic reason why I did it. Like, a fatal error could be encountered that would cause the reference to the language file to cause a new error that would confuse the issue and take over as a new error - hiding the original error. Something like that.

    i guess that makes sense?

    besides, if mark or one of us is helping to fix someone here and someone posts an error in a language file, how are we going to know which error it is :)

    (i know this is probably a lot less of a problem than I'm trying to make it out to be - =])

    uuhhhmm... where is the file for errors dialogs?, I guess each translator could just do a patch for it.
