I have a GtkD application for Linux where I would like to support localization. The current options in D seem pretty limited with the most recent being i18n-d (https://github.com/JakobOvrum/i18n-d). My code is structured for GNU gettext but I could make the effort and convert it to the way i18n-d works if that's the best option. The only other issue I can see with it is that it doesn't support country-language variations and from past experience that's a pretty big deal (just ask any Brazilians!).
FWIW, country variation is on the TODO list (issue tracker).
I'd prefer a GNU gettext implementation but I know that's not available since it has been listed as a GSOC project for a couple of years. I could roll my own GNU gettext implementation but that would be a significant effort taking away time from my project which I'd prefer to remain focused on.
Part of the point behind i18n-d is that we can do better than gettext in D.
