std.conv.ConvException D:\Programs\D\dmd2\windows\bin\..\..\src\phob
s\std\conv.d(2437): Unexpected '\n' when converting from type LockingTextReader
to type int

Here is my code for reference:

module main;

import std.stdio;
import std.concurrency;
import core.thread;
import core.stdc.stdlib;
import std.string;
int main(string[] args)
{
     Tid worker;
     int x;
     do
     {
     writeln("Enter in 1 for arabic, 2 for turkish, 0 to quit.");
     readf("%d",x);
     worker = spawn(&Translate_Hello);
     worker.send(x);
     }
     while(x != 0);
	return 0;
}

void Translate_Hello()
{
     int num;
     num = receiveOnly!int();
  switch(num)
   {
     case 1:
         stdout.writeln("مرحبا");
         break;
     case 2:
         stdout.writeln("Merhaba");
         break;
     default:
         stdout.writeln("Invalid Language");
   }
}

In addition, this only gives that exception when you enter 1 or 
2, so I don't know what is happening.

This is why I hate readf, it is sensitive to litte things.

If you put a space in that string I think it will fix it. What 
happens here is it reads the float, then leaves the buffer at the 
\n from when the user pressed enter. So when it comes around it 
complains about that unexpected character.

So try readf(" %d") or readf("%d\n") or something like that.

OR just use `readln().strip().to!int` that kind fo thing.
