According to Marjolein Katsma:

My point was that on a properly set up system, the end-user should never
see that error message - the most rudimentary testing by the person setting
up ht://Dig should flush out any of these error conditions. Geoff brought
up a point that I wasn't aware of - older versions of htsearch didn't fall
back to the default config file if the user/form specified config file was
null. That did open the door to possible user error causing this message,
though most likely an error in a search form would have been the cause.
That shouldn't happen in the current version.
I agree that multi-language support is important, but without major changes
to the code, and translation of all the documentation, I don't think a non-
English speaking person would be able to set up and configure ht://Dig
anyway.
