Re: [drupal-devel] Internationalization, Usability and changes in the coding conventions

According to Killes bug report the use of message_access is legacy and should not be there. Yet it is there in some core and contributed modules. Shouldn't that be fixed? Even moving them up into the module level from common.inc message() to t() would be a help in promoting usability and translation.

It is not an error to use message_access(), nor does it introduce translation problems as you tried to suggest. It does introduce useability problems in the sense that it does not provide the specific reasons for some failure. Goba
