GNU gettext version 0.25 and newer supports the D language.

This was announced in https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu/2025-05/msg00000.html.

In detail:

• It ships with a library libintl_d.a, that contains the runtime code for using GNU gettext message catalogs in the D programming language.
• The 'xgettext' program supports extracting localizable messages from D code into a POT file.
• When doing so, 'xgettext' adds 'd-format' markers for D format strings.
• The msgfmt program, when invoked as 'msgfmt -c', verifies the syntax of translations of D format strings.
• A new example 'hello-d' has been added, that can be used as a starting point for internationalized packages.

This support of the D language follows all the good usage patterns from the other programming languages.

Amazing! Thanks Bruno! Do you mind writing an article or two about it that could serve as a guide? Or even better demonstrate it at the next beerconf that is happening monthly!?
