Summary0012089: Android: errors on the payment screen are headed "Error creating order" (the pay-template string) (patch attached)
DescriptionEvery error on Android's payment screen -- loading the payment options (getChoicesForPayment) or confirming the payment (confirmPay) -- is headed "Error creating order". That string belongs to the pay-template form; on the payment screen the user tapped "Pay" on an existing order and is told that creating an order failed.

What the user sees when confirmPay fails (injected with wallet-core's dev experiment api-error, operation confirmPay, code 7050 WALLET_PAY_MERCHANT_INSUFFICIENT_BALANCE; origin/master builds of 2026-11-11):
- Android: "Error", "Error creating order", wallet-core's English hint, "Export error diagnostics" (before-android-1.png). The screen stays there; only system Back leaves it.
- WebExtension: "Payment could not continue" -- the translated sentence for the code -- "Withdraw funds or choose another payment option, then try again." -- "Technical details", "Cancel payment" (before-web-1.png).
- iOS: generic "Internal core error" sheet with the hint (before-ios-1.png); that is 0011934, not this report.

Code (origin/master 4c483527):
- wallet/src/main/java/net/taler/wallet/payment/TransactionPaymentComposable.kt:197-203: PayStatus.Error -> ErrorComposable(..., message = stringResource(R.string.payment_template_error)).
- wallet/src/main/res/values/strings.xml:322: payment_template_error = "Error creating order" (correct in PayTemplateComposable.kt:67-72).
- reached from payment/PaymentManager.kt:224-234 (getChoicesForPayment errors) and :324-326 (confirmPay errors).
Reference: web routes/App.tsx:4626-4646, screens/PaymentScreen.tsx:510-536.

Patch (android-payment-error-heading.patch): the payment prompt uses its own heading "Payment could not continue" (one new English string, the WebExtension's wording) instead of the pay-template string. The body text is unchanged; translating wallet-core's codes into user messages is 0012069.
Verified: :wallet:assembleFdroidSim builds; after-android-1.png is the same injected failure with the patch.
