It was a real concern for me that there's no gettext-compatible package for D (at least I could not find one in dub registry), because it's kind of standard. So I made it myself.

mofile is similar to GNU gettext, but gettext and ngettext functions are implemented as member functions of MoFile struct.

This package features only .mo file parsing and getting translated messages (with support for plural forms). No bindtextdomain present (so no globals)

To produce .mo files you still use standard utilities like xgettext, msginit, msgmerge and msgfmt.

dub package: https://code.dlang.org/packages/mofile
github repo: https://github.com/FreeSlave/mofile

Great! Support for i18n is an important step towards world domination (in more than one ways).
