Hi,

Is there any way for localizate and internationalizate messages?
I were shocked if D has something like Fantom [http://fantom.org/doc/docLang/Localization.html]. Gettext is pretty ugly ;-)


If not, any plannings?

Thanks,
Xan.

Is this just about supporting different human languages in your app?

You can put the strings output by your app in a separate file or in a section within the code file to which they apply, and use either version blocks (compile-time) or arrays (run-time) to choose between them.

Under Windows, you can use a stringtable resource.  It's possible to make resources language-specific, but I don't know how.

I use small D script to internationalize Delphi projects. It's not perfect, but it's simple and easy to modify for one's needs. https://gist.github.com/1728860

This is by displaying different messages depending of system locale of the user.

Thank you very much for your solution. I deduce so that there is no "official" support for that. If it's, it's a pain.

Pain? Writing such a system can be done in a couple of lines.

How? I don't know how to do that. How to read user current locale?
An official version could simplify the things: people should not wrtite their own code....

Write your own version and submit it for review/improvement. Then it'll become official. :)

I doubt this is a good argument: "I don't know it, so it should be done for me".

Anyway, for windows you probably need to use this function, or related ones:

I don't know how the thing is done on Unix family systems though, but as usual - Google is your best friend.
