All of the errors that IBO raises in the components are typed exceptions,
of type EIB_Error (+ descendants). The example you gave is an EIB_Error of
subclass EIB_DatasetError. The error texts are all defined in
ib_constants.pas. There are a lot of translations of ib_constants - browse
through the selection in your IBO root directory and see whether there is
already one for your language.

You can subclass any of these error types, as well - perhaps setting up
your own application-specific error unit where you define your error texts
with finer grain; and even using it as a central unit where all parts of
your application can go for error handling.

There's a TI sheet on this topic, on the TechInfo page...
