Best Practice: Localization: Error Messages

Recommended Posts

Should you localize error messages? Which errors should have a localization and which errors should not have a localization?

 

Some thoughts:

  • Errors that the user caused and don't crash anything should be localized
  • Errors that the user caused and crash something should not be localized
  • Errors that are out of the user's control, should they see the message
    • If so, it should not be localized so the developer or support can find the error within their system
    • If not, the user has an error message they may not be able to read but can look up (e.g. Google it)

I am curious what other developers do. I've seen some localize their error messages, others hard code the error message, and read some use error catalogs.
