quick and dirty localization example

Localization.hx

import haxe.macro.Context;
import haxe.xml.Fast;
import haxe.macro.Expr;
class Localization
{
#if macro
	static var id_hash = new Hash<String>(); 
#end
	public static function main(): Void
	{	
		init('assets/norwegian.xml');
		trace(localize('welcome_text'));
	}
	
	@:macro public static function init(e:Expr) : Expr {
		var xml_loc:String;
		switch(e.expr){
			case EConst(c): switch(c){
				case CString(s): xml_loc = s; 
				default:{}
			}
			default:{}
		}
		var xml_s = neko.io.File.getContent(xml_loc);
		var xml = Xml.parse(xml_s);
		var fast = new Fast(xml);
		for (x in fast.node.strings.nodes.string){
			if (x.has.id) id_hash.set(x.att.id,x.innerData);
		}

		return e;
	}

Do you have a sample of the xml file you pass in?

Let's see if I can just send this working project zip.
