NOTE: The spelling of the following two words is changed from the original spelling because the Knowledge Base cannot display some of the characters:

   folgendermaszen - the "sz" is used to represent the German
   alphabetic character "ess zeht."

   Wahlen - the letter "a" is used to represent the German alphabetic
   Character "a umlaut."
                

CAUSE

This occurs because the text "Error from:" is hard-coded and not localized.
