Hi,

I have a folder "i18n" which contains message bundle files. For now it contains only the message bundle file written by the developer: "messagebundle.properties".

During the translation process additional message bundle files will be added to github:
messagebundle_en.properties
messagebundle_de.properties
...
Changing the github content will automatically triggering the compilation process.
My wish is, that every time a new message bundle file is added, these file is automatically included into the compilation process.


I doubt, but is there a possibility to check during compile time which files exists in the
i18n folder and import() these files?

I see currently only 1 chance: Create a list of all possible language code (max 7) and check whether the import works via __traits(compiles,...).

Something like:
alias languages = TypeTuple!("en", "de");
static foreach(lang; languages)
{
...
}

Kind regards
André

Don't be afraid to write a small script that is run before a build to generate a list of files which than can be imported.

Can't you just create all the files that you expect to have and leave them empty and then you import them all and process them differently if there is no content?

Thanks for the hints. I have some concerns creating the files upfront, because the files should only be created by other colleagues in an official translation process.

I will check whether I can determine the files via script as proposed by Rikki.

Kind regards
