Hi!
This function is not available anymore (must be few days only), but the 
nightly documentation still mentions it.
I see that it is repalced with RenderTranslucentPolygonalGeometry(), the 
code is exactly the same

Why don't you leave the RenderTranslucentGeometry() for the backward 
compatibility?

It could be just

RenderTranslucentGeometry(...)
{
return RenderTranslucentPolygonalGeometry(...);
}

The way it is done is highly inconvenient for people who are using 5.0 
release, but sometimes build with the nightly release just to check if 
the application still works.
And it happens quite often that it won't compile, because a function or 
constant name was changed.
