There is a comma missing after the word "Sorry" within a launcher string used for a generic error message

The Bug:

There is a comma missing after the word "Sorry" within a launcher string used for a generic error message.

This is a very minor issue however, this word should have a comma present after it, in order for the string to make grammatical sense. A comma should always be used after an introductory clause or phrase, and not using it under these circumstances would be grammatically incorrect.

Below is a table I've constructed that highlights this error. You can find information about what the current and expected string is and would be, some context regarding it, and a link to the appropriate string on crowdin.

Not a bug.  Both "Sorry ..." and "Sorry, ..." can be used here with equally apropos application. One implies "Sorry (that an error-state has occurred)..."  The other expresses the developer's sympathy with the user experiencing such.  Suggesting a missing comma is incorrect here is both incorrect and a waste of dev cycle resources in reporting.
