Errors should always be logged to the Error Console

Description

Bibliography, translator and export errors are generally caught, and a generic error is displayed to the user. That makes the errors pretty much impossible to debug when they happen to non-technical users.

In addition to the user-friendly error, these errors should always be logged to the Error Console, either by throwing them or with the explicit logging functions, so that we can have the user follow the instructions on the Reporting Bugs section to find and report the error.

(In [1253]) closes #546, errors should always be logged to the error console

currently, errors that happen during detection (as opposed to translation) are not logged, since it might not be desirable to flood the error console if a site changes its layout in a way that produces errors in the detectCode. if there are any objections, this behavior is easy to change.
