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.
