             Summary: Internationalization support
                 Key: DAFFODIL-2543
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAFFODIL-2543
             Project: Daffodil
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Steve Lawrence


At some point, we may want to consider internationalization support.

One approach here is to create a custom string interpolater, e.g.

{code:scala}
i"This message can be internationalized: ${withArguments}"
{code}

We likely want to create a macro for this, so that the raw message becomes the key to look up the internationalized string in the i18n database based on locale, and then the arguments are used to format the value found.

Note that DAFFODIL-2510 changed all logging to use "s" string interpolation, and DAFFODIL-2542 suggests changing all of our diagnostics to use string interpolation as well. Once that is complete, switching to a new "i" interpolator becomes fairly straight forward.
