Another way would be to change the ocitysmap.conf from a INI-style file
to a Java properties style file:

datasource.host: gis2.maposmatic.org
datasource.user: maposmatic
datasource.password: SECRET
datasource.dbname: maposmatic

rendering.available_stylesheets: osm, mapquest_eu, blacknwhite
rendering.png_dpi: 72

stylesheets.osm.name: Default
stylesheets.osm.description: The default OpenStreetMap style
stylesheets.osm.path: /home/maposmatic/stow/sources/mapnik-osm/osm.xml

So it can be parsed by xgettext too. We would need to use an exclude
file to exclude the datasource.* and rendering.* properties we don't
care being translated.

Not sure how this integrates on the Python side of things though, I
don't know enough about how gettext operates.

Worth trying if you have some time.
