"Cannot send to channel" would also be incorrect, or rather Konversation is not viably in a position to determine that: If a channel doesn't have the +n mode set, you can send messages to it without being in the channel. 

Normally, if you try to send messages to a channel you're not on and you're not allowed to, the server would tell you as much -- which apparently is currently broken on Freenode, but that's not our problem.

So, the challenge with showing a message when writing into a channel you're not on but have a tab for would be phrasing it to get across that you're not on the channel, without implying that your message won't get through, since those two circumstances are not related.

As I find it doubtful such clever phrasing can be found and carried across all the translations, and given that a greyed out tab label and an empty nicklists indicate when a channel is not joined quite well, this goes WONTFIX.
