Yep we need this. I also thought about developing an i18n module maybe
we can work together on one. I won't have time for it the next 3
weeks though.
Anyway, I think we should base our i18n module on boost.locale
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_48_0/libs/locale/doc/html/index.html
but boost.locale is pretty big, we should probably start with the
translation part only:
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_48_0/libs/locale/doc/html/index.html

Sounds good! I'll probably wont start before that time either. Let me think about it some more and we can talk after the std.log review.

The API is quite good imho. It'll need some changes to fit D better,
but I think this could become a nice D style API.

Boost.locale uses the gettext format internally which is important.
This way we can use all the gettext tools & websites and the translator
community (https://www.transifex.net/start/).

BTW: I already have code to read the gettext format, so that could be
used.

That is great! It would be great if we can make a state of the art I18N module. Looking forward to it!
