digitalmars.D.learn - Supporting Arabic in GUI

I have no idea about GUI or Rad programming in D; it's not its 
time, but I'm curious to know if D is fine supporting for Arabic 
language in the GUI applications or we will have some issues like 
I met - in my experience - in Free Pascal.

This is a topic where we trying to make a custom message box 
supporting Arabic as what's supposed to be, but we didn't reach 
although that the degree we want:

I am very confused by this question.

That has nothing to do with the programming language: it has all 
to do with the GUI toolkit you use (lazarus in that case).

If you used lazarus with D instead of Pascal (if it is possible), 
you would have the same limitations in D.

If you use another GUI toolkit in D/Pascal (e.g. GTK3, Qt5, Tk, 
etc.), you will have the limitations of that toolkit, which may 
or may not support Arabic text.

Also I don't understand you saying "it's not its time"; there are 
plenty of GUI programs written in D. :/

So, the reason is the toolkit. I guessed D has specific library 
for GUI, and with that I judged D as whole that if it supports 
Arabic or not.


 Also I don't understand you saying "it's not its time"; there 
 are plenty of GUI programs written in D. :/


I mean "my own time" that I'm still studying D basics, so I'll 
study GUI programming at another time, but if there are available 
resources for GUI, I would like to take a look in 'em.

again with some changes.

I think it is possible to find framework to solve the issues in 
D..
my guess is based on information from the project ArabiaWeather

https://dlang.org/orgs-using-d.html

They have a YouTube talk about D. Maybe you could find their 
contacts and ask your questions related to their techstack and 
framework.

It seems formal channel or company. I don't have resources that 
make me able to contact with a formal company. I think Gtk is 
nice free solution.
