Localizing a D application - best practices?

[Cliff via Digitalmars-d-learn]

Coming from the C# world, all of localization we did was based on 
defining string resource files (XML-formatted source files which 
were translated into C# classes with named-string accessors by 
the build process) that would get included in the final 
application.  For log messages, exception messages (because 
unhandled exceptions could make it to the user in the case of a 
bug) and format strings used for the above we would create a 
string table entry and this file would eventually get localized 
by the appropriate team.

Is there a recommended pattern for applications in D that wish to 
do localization?

Thanks.
