[Live-demo] make translation easier - define software version in conf.py

[Ko Nagase]

Hi list,

I am not sure whether my question is related with separating version
number definition,
but is there some plan about "gettext" tool (*.pot .etc) based
translation workflow
like the following MapServer documentation development guide links ?
