I'm trying to define an array of constant like:

===
immutable string[int] MyDict = [
    1: "monday",
    2: "tuesday",
    ];

====
And I keep having compiler error:

Error    1    Error: non-constant expression [1:"monday",2:"tuesday"] 
C:\Dev\DTest\DTest1\Dexperiment\LCIDs.d    9

what can I do? how do I do that?

You need to set it in a static constructor
immutable string[int] MyDict;

static this ()
{
  MyDict = cast(string[int]) [
  1: "monday",
  2: "tuesday"
  ];
}
