Thanks for the hint. Yes, I have looked at all of these:
https://code.dlang.org/packages/libintl
https://code.dlang.org/packages/gettext
https://code.dlang.org/packages/i18nd
https://code.dlang.org/packages/mofile
https://code.dlang.org/packages/djtext

They all have very small "Download Stats", indicating that their 
actual use in applications is nonexistent or irrelevant.

 From these five packages, the one that comes closest to having a 
usable API, on par with the gettext APIs for other programming 
languages, is https://code.dlang.org/packages/libintl .
