Yes. Having unique error codes should be a best practice with translated apps.

I've always felt that a popup with an error code should have a "search the web for this code" button.
That’s where “error code” essentially comes from, an actual code you could look up in a manual. Errors have evolved to be more of “error messages” which then have grammar, word choice, and a million other concerns.
I wonder why message code culture disappeared now.
