I can't make message work for now without this fix : (French website)

<?php
/**
 * Implements hoot_entity_load();
 */
function hook_entity_load($entities, $type) {
  if ($type ==  'message' || $type == 'message_type') {
    foreach($entities as $entity) {
      if (!isset($entity->language)) {
        $entity->language = 'fr';
      }
    }
  }
}
?>

The message field is translatable, so you should make sure you populate the correct text in every language. So you will not need your workaround.

I try it, take a look :
screen - 1

screen - 2

screen - 3

I try to find where the code fail, I see in the function entity_metadata_field_get_language that the selected language come back to LANGUAGE_NONE whatever the current language of the user.

<?php
/**
 * Helper for determining the field language to be used.
 *
 * Note that we cannot use field_language() as we are not about to display
 * values, but generally read/write values.
 *
 * @param $fallback
 *   (optional) Whether to fall back to the entity default language, if no
 *   value is available for the given language code yet.
 *
 * @return
 *   The language code to use.
 */
function entity_metadata_field_get_language($entity_type, $entity, $field, $langcode = LANGUAGE_NONE, $fallback = FALSE) {
  // Try to figure out the default language used by the entity.
  // @todo: Update once http://drupal.org/node/1260640 has been fixed.
  $default_langcode = isset($entity->language) ? $entity->language : LANGUAGE_NONE;

  // Determine the right language to use.
  if ($default_langcode != LANGUAGE_NONE && field_is_translatable($entity_type, $field)) {
    $langcode = ($langcode != LANGUAGE_NONE) ? field_valid_language($langcode, $default_langcode) : $default_langcode;
    if (!isset($entity->{$field['field_name']}[$langcode]) && $fallback) {
      $langcode = $default_langcode;
    }
    return $langcode;
  }
  else {
    return LANGUAGE_NONE;
  }
}
?>

I will try on a fresh install and update this issue.

I am using Message on few mutli-langual sites, so defiantly it works, we just need to understand what doesn't work on your setup -- setting to support so it won't intimidate other users ;).
The entity API you are using looks a but old, espcialy considering this related issue -- #1376126: Fix language handling for translatable fields. Try to update to -dev version, and re-try.

bennetteson commented

The entity API I use is the lastest dev version (Feb 28).
I think the entity API is too new and make message having this bug.
But I must use the One of the lastest dev version, one of my patch was merged into it, and I must use it.

I will try a oldest dev version of entity API.

Please try with latest Entity API -dev and with this patch -- #1461208: Add "language" property to message-type and message

Can you provide a db dump, with anything not related to message disabled (I couldn't import the one in #3 for some reason)?
