Workflow 2013 error messages

Question

In a test workflow 2013, I am getting error messages that look like the following:
'Form cannot be submitted because of an error'.
I click on the error details and it gives me the reason there is a problem. The message also says: "An entry has been added to the
Windows event log of the server. Log ID: 1234.
I am wondering if there is a way to have more user friendly error messages? If so, can you tell me how to setup the messages to be more user friendly?
