improve error reporting

[Cornerback24]

Suggest changes to improve error reporting to hopefully make troubleshooting easier. Also change EN/localizedStrings.loc to not be hard requirement. Do whatever you want with this, merge it or just copy from it or whatever :)

I get this error using yours:

Hmm can you add a file that fails to import to a zip and attach the zip to a comment here or on the other thread? (If you're ok with the file being public here.) That error seems to me like the plugin is not finding data it expects the file. Maybe there's something slightly different about how whatever version of LEGO Digital Designer you're using makes the file.
