### The Idea

When a program shows an **error message**, users often face these
problems:

1. 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.
