Useless error message

That error message is caused by the Translate extension, which has some severe difficulties working with VE. When you clicked edit there would have been a notice saying that things might break, and unfortunately this is one of them. :-(

It's not the fact that the extension prevented my edit that's a problem, it's the fact that the error message is completely useless and might as well not be there at all.

Why can the translate extension not give an actual error message?

Yeah, unfortunately that error is sent by MediaWiki and I don't think there's much we can do about it...

That said, the "<ooui-dialog-process" strings should be fixed.

Already fixed; that's the weekly LocalisationUpdate-hasn't-run-yet situation for MediaWiki.org, sadly. :-(
