Error messages encountered in translation logs should have an authoritative place to look up that error for a fulsome explanation. Twice in the last 20 minutes I’ve encountered new-to-me errors and there’s zero mention of them in the documentation or in the community forums. This experience occurs often.

When a fault occurs often enough that a developer writes code to handle the situation there should also be user facing documentation, or some other systematic means of following up that’s not blind “ask the internet”.

Hi ​@mattwilkie, I agree — in some cases, our error messages could be more user-friendly and easier to understand. We’ll keep this in mind and look into possible improvements where it makes sense.
Please share any screenshots of specific messages you encountered that we may have missed in our documentation or haven’t explained clearly.
