Why not do it the gettext way, in that case? Yes, i am fully aware of gettext. It is a multi-step process, first condense..... and gettext() performs translations based on strings e.g. the ones now identified. So after gettext you have to reverse this step again... no, gettext performs a string-based lookup only. There is no requirement that this should be an abbreviated one
_("the string that is translated")
Point was, readability and less obfuscation.
Perhaps this is *not* a good thing to throw in just before a code freeze? Yes, a concerted check on error messages is needed. There are a limited number of changes
Another thing, if you need the same message a lot of times, you can if there are a lot of the same messages, then they should be assembled in an indexed catalog table.
probably be more specific to *improve* your error messages. yes, or more specific in the commentary.
As indicated in mal_exception, the target is to enforce a style, e.g. to evolve to GENERIC SPECIFIC ADVICE string defs where appropriate. 50% of the code has been handled (in 2 hours)
