    3.50.2 Description

    55c2ff
    ec5f63

    When you create artwork for CentOS distribution you find that some

    ec5f63
    artworks need to be created for different major releases of CentOS
    5cee2c
    distribution and inside each major release that needs to be created for
    ec5f63
    different locales. To get an approximate idea of how many files we are
    ec5f63
    talking about, consider the followig approximate statistic:
    ec5f63

    63f275
      ec5f63
    • Inside CentOS distribution, there are around 30 images to
    • ec5f63
      rebrand.(2)
      ec5f63
      ec5f63
    • There are near to four major releases of CentOS distribution to
    • ec5f63
      rebrand in parallel development.(3) 
      ec5f63
      ec5f63
    • Each CentOS distribution in parallel development supports more
    • ec5f63
      than two hundreds locales.(4)
      63f275
      63f275
      ec5f63

      In order to aliviate maintainance of artwork production for such

      ec5f63
      environment, we divided artwork production in three production lines:
      ec5f63

      ec5f63
        5cee2c
      1. See section trunk/Identity/Themes/Models, to define artworks
      2. ec5f63
        characteristics (e.g., dimensions, position on the screen, etc.).
        5cee2c
      3. See section trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs, to define artworks visual
      4. ec5f63
        styles (e.g., the look and feel).
        ec5f63
      5. Translations, to define which major releases and locales
      6. ec5f63
        artworks are produced for. 
        ec5f63
        ec5f63
        ec5f63

        Inside CentOS Artwork Repository, the artworks' translation production

        ec5f63
        line is stored under <tt>`trunk/Translations'</tt> directory.
        ec5f63

        ec5f63

        Inside <tt>`trunk/Translations'</tt> directory, we use "translation

        ec5f63
        entries" to organize artworks' "translation files" and artworks'
        ec5f63
        "translation templates".

        3.50.2.1 Translation Entries

        1d1bf4
        ec5f63

        Translation entries exists for each artwork you want to produce.

        ec5f63
        Translation entries can be empty directories, or directories
        ec5f63
        containing translation files and translation templates.  
        ec5f63

        ec5f63

        When translation entries are empty directories, the identity entry is

        ec5f63
        used as reference to create file names and directories layout for
        ec5f63
        rendered files.  In this case, the centos-art script takes
        ec5f63
        one design template and outputs one non-translated file for each
        ec5f63
        design template available.  This configuration is mainly used to
        ec5f63
        produce non-translatable artworks like themes' backgrounds.
        ec5f63

        ec5f63

        When translation entries contain translation files, the translation

        ec5f63
        entry implements the CentOS release schema and is used as reference to
        ec5f63
        create file names and directories layout for translated artworks. In
        ec5f63
        this case, the centos-art script applies one translation
        ec5f63
        file to one design template to create one translated instance which is
        ec5f63
        used to output one translated file. When the translated file is
        ec5f63
        rendered, the centos-art script remove the previous instance
        ec5f63
        and takes the next file in the list of translation files to repate the
        ec5f63
        whole process once again, and so on for all files in the list. This
        ec5f63
        configuration is mainly used to produce translatable artworks like
        8e85aa
        Anaconda progress slide images.
        ec5f63

        ec5f63

        To find out correspondence between translation entries and identity

        ec5f63
        entries, you need to look the path of both translation entries and
        8e85aa
        identity entries. For example, if you are using the Modern
        8e85aa
        artisitic motif, the identity entry for Anaconda progress artwork is:
        ec5f63

        ec5f63
        trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/Modern/Distro/Anaconda/Progress
        ec5f63
        ec5f63

        and its translation entry is:

        ec5f63

        ec5f63
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/Anaconda/Progress
        ec5f63
        ec5f63

        Note how the <tt>`Translations/'</tt> directory prefixes <tt>`Identity/'</tt>

        ec5f63
        directory, also how static values (e.g., Identity, Themes, Distro,
        8e85aa
        etc.) in the identity entry path remain in translation entry path, and
        8e85aa
        how variable values like theme names (e.g., Modern) are stript
        8e85aa
        out from translation entry path. The same convenction can be applied
        8e85aa
        to other identity entries in order to determine their translation
        ec5f63
        entries, or to other translation entries to determine their identity
        ec5f63
        entries.
        ec5f63

        ec5f63
        info

        Note

        Translation entries related to identity entries under

        ec5f63
        <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs'</tt> do not use <tt>`Motifs/'</tt> in the
        ec5f63
        path.  We've done this because <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Models'</tt>
        ec5f63
        structure, the other structure under <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes'</tt>,
        ec5f63
        doesn't require translation paths so far. So in the sake of saving
        ec5f63
        characters space when building translation entries for
        ec5f63
        <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs'</tt> structure, we organize Motifs
        ec5f63
        translation entries under <tt>`trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/'</tt>
        ec5f63
        directly. 
        ec5f63

        ec5f63

        If for some reason <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Models'</tt> structure

        ec5f63
        requires translation entries, we need to re-oraganize the current
        ec5f63
        directory structure accordingly.
        ec5f63

        1d1bf4
        ec5f63

        Translation entries, as described above, can be re-used by similar

        ec5f63
        identity entries. For example the following identity entries:
        ec5f63

        ec5f63
        trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/Modern/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        ec5f63
        trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/TreeFlower/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        ec5f63
        trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/Mettle/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        ec5f63
        ec5f63

        are all valid identity entries able to re-use translation files inside

        ec5f63
        Anaconda progress translation entry (the one shown in our example
        ec5f63
        above). This way, you can create several identity entries and maintain
        ec5f63
        just one translation entry for all of them.  Once you change the
        ec5f63
        translation files inside the common translation entry, changes inside
        ec5f63
        identity entries will take effect inside the next you render them.
        ec5f63

        ec5f63

        Trying to make things plain and simple: inside CentOS Artwork

        ec5f63
        Repository, graphic designers can concentrate their efforts in
        ec5f63
        artworks look and feel (the identity entries), and translators in
        ec5f63
        artworks translations (the translation entries).

        3.50.2.2 Translation Markers

        ec5f63

        ec5f63
        ec5f63

        ec5f63

        Translation markers are used in "Theme Model Designs" and

        ec5f63
        "Translation Files" as replacement patterns to commit content
        ec5f63
        translation.  When you are rendering content using
        ec5f63
        centos-art script inisde <tt>`trunk/Identity'</tt> structure,
        ec5f63
        artistic motifs and translation files are applied to model designs to
        ec5f63
        produce translated content as result. In order to have the appropriate
        ec5f63
        translation in content rendered, markers defintion in translation
        ec5f63
        files should match markers in model designs exactly. 
        ec5f63

        ec5f63

        Translation markers can be whatever text you want, but as convenction

        ec5f63
        we use the following to represent releases of CentOS distribution:
        ec5f63

        ec5f63
        ec5f63
        <samp>`=MINOR_RELEASE='</samp>
        ec5f63

        Replace with minor release of CentOS distribution. In the schema M.N, the minor

        ec5f63
        release is represented by the N letter.
        ec5f63

        ec5f63
        <samp>`=MAJOR_RELEASE='</samp>
        ec5f63

        Replace with major release of CentOS distribution. In the schema M.N,

        ec5f63
        the major release is represented by the M letter.
        ec5f63

        ec5f63
        <samp>`=RELEASE='</samp>
        ec5f63

        Replace the full release of CentOS distribution. It is

        ec5f63
        <samp>`=MAJOR_RELEASE=.=MINOR_RELEASE='</samp> basically. 
        ec5f63

        ec5f63
        ec5f63
        ec5f63

        Specific translation markers convenctions are described inside

        ec5f63
        specific translation entries. Read translation entries documentation
        ec5f63
        to know more about supported translation markers.
        ec5f63

        ec5f63

        Translation markers standardization creates a common point of

        ec5f63
        reference for translators and graphic designers. To have translation
        ec5f63
        markers well defined makes possible that translators and graphic
        ec5f63
        designers can work together but independently one another.
        ec5f63

        ec5f63
        13b177
        ec5f63

        3.50.2.3 Translation Files

        ec5f63
        8e85aa

        Translation files are text files with sed commands inside,

        ec5f63
        replacement commands mainly. As convenction, translation file names
        ec5f63
        end in <samp>`.sed'</samp>. Translation files are used by centos-art
        ec5f63
        script to produce translated artworks for specific major releases of
        ec5f63
        CentOS Distribution. There are common translation files, specific
        ec5f63
        translation, and template translation files.
        ec5f63

        ec5f63

        For example, the Firstboot artwork of CentOS distribution uses the

        ec5f63
        images <tt>`splash-small.png'</tt> and <tt>`firstboot-left.png'</tt> as based
        ec5f63
        to control its visual style. The <tt>`splash-small.png'</tt> image
        ec5f63
        contains, in its graphic design, the release number information of
        ec5f63
        CentOS distribution. So the <tt>`splash-small.png'</tt> is
        ec5f63
        release-specific. In the other hand, the <tt>`firstboot-left.png'</tt>
        ec5f63
        doesn't contain release number information. So the
        ec5f63
        <tt>`firstboot-left.png'</tt> is not release-specific.
        ec5f63

        ec5f63

        If we want to produce Firstboot artwork for different major releases

        ec5f63
        of CentOS distribution, using a monolithic visual identity, all
        ec5f63
        Firstboot images should have the same visual style and, at the same
        ec5f63
        time, the release-specific information in the release-specific images. 
        ec5f63

        ec5f63
        info

        Note

        The monolithic visual identity is implemented using

        5cee2c
        theme models (see section trunk/Identity/Themes/Models) and artistic
        5cee2c
        motifs (see section trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs).
        ec5f63

        ec5f63
        ec5f63

        Assuming that both theme models and theme motifs are ready for using,

        ec5f63
        the initial translation entry to produce Firstboot artworks would look
        ec5f63
        like the following:
        ec5f63

        ec5f63
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/BootUp/Firstboot/
        ec5f63
        |-- Tpl
        ec5f63
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        ec5f63
        `-- firstboot-left.sed
        ec5f63
        ec5f63

        With the translation entry above, centos-art command is able

        ec5f63
        to produce the image <tt>`firstboot-left.png'</tt> only. To produce
        ec5f63
        <tt>`splash-small.png'</tt> images for major releases (e.g., 3, 4, 5, and
        ec5f63
        6) of CentOS distribution we need to produce the release-specific
        ec5f63
        translation files using the centos-art script as following:
        ec5f63

        ec5f63
        centos-art render --entry=/home/centos/artwork/trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/BootUp/Firstboot --filter='3,4,5,6'
        ec5f63
        ec5f63

        The above command produces the following translation entiry:

        ec5f63

        ec5f63
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/BootUp/Firstboot/
        ec5f63
        |-- 3
        ec5f63
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        ec5f63
        |-- 4
        ec5f63
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        ec5f63
        |-- 5
        ec5f63
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        ec5f63
        |-- 6
        ec5f63
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        ec5f63
        |-- Tpl
        ec5f63
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        ec5f63
        `-- firstboot-left.sed
        ec5f63
        ec5f63

        At this point centos-art is able to produce the Firstboot

        artwork images for major releases of CentOS distribution. To add new
        ec5f63
        release-specific translation files, run the translation rendering
        ec5f63
        command with the release number you want to produce translation files
        ec5f63
        for in the <samp>`--filter='release-number''</samp> argument.

        3.50.2.4 Template Translation Files

        ec5f63
        ec5f63

        Template translation files are translation files stored inside

        ec5f63
        translation template directory. Template translation files are used by
        ec5f63
        centos-art script to produce specific translation files
        8e85aa
        only. Template translation files may be empty or contain sed
        8e85aa
        replacement commands. If template translation files are empty files,
        8e85aa
        the final specifc translation file built from it contains
        8e85aa
        release-specific replacement commands only. For example, see the
        8e85aa
        following translation entry:
        ec5f63

        ec5f63
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/BootUp/Firstboot/
        ec5f63
        |-- 3
        ec5f63
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        ec5f63
        |-- 4
        ec5f63
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        ec5f63
        |-- 5
        ec5f63
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        ec5f63
        |-- 6
        ec5f63
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        ec5f63
        |-- Tpl
        ec5f63
        |   `-- splash-small.sed    <-- template translation file.
        ec5f63
        `-- firstboot-left.sed
        ec5f63
        ec5f63

        In the above exmaple, the <tt>`splash-small.sed'</tt> file is a template

        ec5f63
        translation file and looks like:
        ec5f63

        ec5f63
        # -------------------------------------
        ec5f63
        # $Id: splash-small.sed 94 2010-09-18 10:59:42Z al $
        ec5f63
        # -------------------------------------
        ec5f63
        ec5f63

        In the above template translation file there are three comments lines,

        ec5f63
        but when you render it, the centos-art adds the
        ec5f63
        release-specific replacement commands. In our Firstboot example, after
        ec5f63
        rendering Firstboot translation entry, the <tt>`splash-small.sed'</tt>
        ec5f63
        translation file specific to CentOS 5, looks like the following:
        ec5f63

        ec5f63
        # Warning: Do not modify this file directly. This file is created
        ec5f63
        # automatically using 'centos-art' command line interface.  Any change
        ec5f63
        # you do in this file will be lost the next time you update
        ec5f63
        # translation files using 'centos-art' command line interface. If you
        ec5f63
        # want to improve the content of this translation file, improve its
        ec5f63
        # template file instead and run the 'centos-art' command line
        ec5f63
        # interface later to propagate your changes.
        ec5f63
        # -------------------------------------
        ec5f63
        # $Id: splash-small.sed 94 2010-09-18 10:59:42Z al $
        ec5f63
        # -------------------------------------
        ec5f63
        ec5f63
        # Release number information.
        ec5f63
        s!=RELEASE=!=MAJOR_RELEASE=.=MINOR_RELEASE=!g
        ec5f63
        s!=MINOR_RELEASE=!0!g
        ec5f63
        s!=MAJOR_RELEASE=!5!g
        ec5f63
        ec5f63

        If template translation files are not empty, replacement commands

        ec5f63
        inside template translation files are preserved inside
        ec5f63
        release-specific translation files.  For example, consider the English
        ec5f63
        template translation file of Anaconda progress welcome slide.  The
        ec5f63
        translation template directory structure looks like the following:
        ec5f63

        ec5f63
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        ec5f63
        `-- Tpl
        ec5f63
            `-- en
        ec5f63
                `-- 01-welcome.sed
        ec5f63
        ec5f63

        and if we render translation files for CentOS 4 and CentOS 5 major

        ec5f63
        releases, the translation entry would look like the following:
        ec5f63

        ec5f63
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        ec5f63
        |-- 4
        ec5f63
        |   `-- en
        ec5f63
        |       `-- 01-welcome.sed
        ec5f63
        |-- 5
        ec5f63
        |   `-- en
        ec5f63
        |       `-- 01-welcome.sed
        ec5f63
        `-- Tpl
        ec5f63
            `-- en
        ec5f63
                `-- 01-welcome.sed
        ec5f63
        ec5f63
        info

        Note

        Release-specific translation directories preserve

        ec5f63
        template translation directory structure and file names.
        ec5f63

        ec5f63
        ec5f63

        In the example above, the template translation file looks like the

        ec5f63
        following:
        ec5f63

        ec5f63
        # ------------------------------------------------------------
        ec5f63
        # $Id: 01-welcome.sed 94 2010-09-18 10:59:42Z al $

        s!=URL=!http://www.centos.org/!
        ec5f63
        ec5f63

        and, after render the translation entry, specific translation files

        ec5f63
        look like the following:
        ec5f63

        ec5f63
        # Warning: Do not modify this file directly. This file is created
        ec5f63

        ec5f63
        s/=TEXT4=//
        ec5f63
        s/=TEXT5=//

        s!=URL=!http://www.centos.org/!
        ec5f63

        s!=RELEASE=!=MAJOR_RELEASE=.=MINOR_RELEASE=!g
        ec5f63
        s!=MINOR_RELEASE=!0!g
        ec5f63
        s!=MAJOR_RELEASE=!5!g
        ec5f63
        ec5f63

        In the example above, relevant lines begin with the <samp>`s'</samp> word

        ec5f63
        followed by a separation character (e.g., <samp>`/'</samp>, <samp>`!'</samp>, etc.).
        ec5f63
        These lines have the following format:
        ec5f63

        ec5f63
        s/REGEXP/REPLACEMENT/FLAGS
        ec5f63
        ec5f63

        The <samp>`/'</samp> characters may be uniformly replaced by any other single

        ec5f63
        character within any given s command.  The <samp>`/'</samp>
        ec5f63
        character (or whatever other character is used in its stead) can
        ec5f63
        appear in the REGEXP or REPLACEMENT only if it is preceded by a
        ec5f63
        <samp>`\'</samp> character.
        ec5f63

        ec5f63

        The s command is probably the most important in

        ec5f63
        sed and has a lot of different options.  Its basic concept
        ec5f63
        is simple: the s command attempts to match the pattern space
        ec5f63
        against the supplied REGEXP; if the match is successful, then that
        ec5f63
        portion of the pattern space which was matched is replaced with
        ec5f63
        REPLACEMENT.
        ec5f63

        ec5f63

        In the context of our translation files, the REGEXP is where you

        ec5f63
        define translation markers and REPLACEMENT where you define the
        ec5f63
        translation text you want to have after artworks rendering.  Sometimes
        ec5f63
        we use the FLAG component with the <samp>`g'</samp> command to apply the
        ec5f63
        replacements globally.
        ec5f63

        8e85aa
        Info

        Tip

        More information about how to use sed

        8e85aa
        replacement commands and flags is available in sed
        8e85aa
        documentation manual. To read sed documentation manual type
        8e85aa
        the following command: 
        ec5f63

        info sed
        ec5f63
        ec5f63
        ec5f63

        Inside translation files, you can use translation markers not only

        ec5f63
        inside the REGEXP but in the REPLACEMENT too. In order for this
        ec5f63
        configuration to work, the REPLACEMENT of translation markers needs to
        ec5f63
        be define after its definition. For example, see in the
        ec5f63
        release-specific translation file above, how the
        ec5f63
        <samp>`s!=MAJOR_RELASE=!5!g'</samp> replacement command is defined
        ec5f63
        after <samp>`=MAJOR_RELASE='</samp> translation marker definition in
        ec5f63
        the REPLACEMENT of <samp>`=TITLE='</samp> translation marker replacement
        ec5f63
        command.

        3.50.2.5 Common Translation Files

        ec5f63
        ec5f63

        Common translation files contain common translations or no

        ec5f63
        translation at all for their related artworks.  They are in the root
        ec5f63
        directory of the translation entry. Common translation files create
        ec5f63
        common artworks for all major releases of CentOS Distribution. 
        ec5f63

        ec5f63

        Translation entries, with common translation files inside, look like

        ec5f63
        the following:
        ec5f63

        ec5f63
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/BootUp/Firstboot/

        ec5f63
        ec5f63
        13b177
        ec5f63

        3.50.2.6 Specific Translation Files

        ec5f63
        ec5f63

        Specific translation files contain specific translations for their

        ec5f63
        related artworks. Specific translation files are not in the root
        ec5f63
        directory of the translation entry, but inside directories which
        ec5f63
        describe the type of translation they are doing. Specific translation
        ec5f63
        files are produced automatically using the centos-art
        ec5f63
        script.
        ec5f63

        ec5f63

        3.50.2.7 Translation Rendering

        ec5f63
        ec5f63

        When rendering translations, the centos-art script checks

        ec5f63
        the translation entry to verify that it has a translation template
        ec5f63
        directory inside. The translation template directory (<tt>`Tpl/'</tt>)
        ec5f63
        contains common translation files used to build release-specific
        ec5f63
        translation files. If the translation template directory doesn't exist
        ec5f63
        inside the translation entry the translation rendering fails. In this
        ec5f63
        case the centos-art script outputs a message and quits
        ec5f63
        script execution.
        ec5f63

        3.50.2.8 Translation (Pre-)Rendering Configuration Scripts

        ec5f63
        ec5f63

        When the centos-art script finds a translation template

        ec5f63
        directory inside translation entry, it looks for translations
        ec5f63
        pre-rendering configuration scripts for that translation entry.
        ec5f63
        Translation pre-rendering configuration scripts let you extend
        8e85aa
        translation default functionality (described below). 
        ec5f63

        ec5f63

        Translation pre-rendering configuration scripts are stored under

        ec5f63
        <tt>`trunk/Scripts'</tt> directory, specifically under the appropriate
        8e85aa
        language implementation. If you are using centos-art Bash
        ec5f63
        implementation, the translation pre-rendering scripts are store in the
        ec5f63
        <tt>`trunk/Scripts/Bash/Config'</tt> location; if you are using
        8e85aa
        centos-art Python implementation, then translation
        ec5f63
        pre-rendering scripts are stored in the
        ec5f63
        <tt>`trunk/Scripts/Python/Config'</tt> location, and so on for other
        ec5f63
        implementations.
        ec5f63

        8e85aa

        Bash translation pre-rendering configuration scripts look like the

        ec5f63
        following:
        ec5f63

        ec5f63
        #!/bin/bash
        ec5f63
        #

        Translation pre-rendering scripts are function scripts loaded and

        ec5f63
        executed when rendering a translation entry. Translation pre-rendering
        ec5f63
        scripts are loaded using the translation entry being rendered as
        ec5f63
        reference. For example, suppose you are using the
        8e85aa
        centos-art Bash implementation, and you are rendering
        ec5f63
        translations for CentOS brands, in this situation the translation
        ec5f63
        entry would be:
        ec5f63

        ec5f63
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Brands
        ec5f63
        ec5f63

        and the entry inside the translation pre-rendering configuration

        ec5f63
        structure would be:
        ec5f63

        ec5f63
        trunk/Scripts/Bash/Config/Identity/Brands
        ec5f63
        ec5f63

        Once the centos-art script detects that translation

        ec5f63
        pre-rendering configuration directory exists, the centos-art
        ec5f63
        script looks for the translation pre-rendering configuration file.  If
        ec5f63
        the translation pre-rendering configuration file exists, it is loaded
        ec5f63
        and executed.  Once the translation pre-rendering configuration file
        ec5f63
        has been executed the translation rendering process is over, and so
        ec5f63
        the script execution.
        ec5f63

        ec5f63
        info

        Note

        Translation pre-rendering configuration files have the

        ec5f63
        following form:
        ec5f63

        render.conf.extension
        ec5f63

        where <samp>`extension'</samp> refers the programming language implementation

        8e85aa
        you are using. For example, <samp>`sh'</samp> for Bash, <samp>`py'</samp> for Python,
        8e85aa
        <samp>`pl'</samp> for Perl, and so on for other implementations.
        ec5f63

        ec5f63
        ec5f63

        As we are using Bash implementation to describe the translation

        ec5f63
        pre-rendering configuration example, the translation pre-rendering
        ec5f63
        configuration file that centos-art looks for, inside the
        ec5f63
        above translation pre-rendering configuration directory, is
        ec5f63
        <tt>`render.conf.sh'</tt>.

        3.50.2.9 Translation Rendering Default Functionality

        ec5f63
        ec5f63

        In the other hand, if the translation pre-rendering configuration file

        ec5f63
        doesn't exist, or it isn't written as function script, the
        ec5f63
        centos-art script ignore translation pre-rendering
        ec5f63
        configuration functionality and passes to render translation using
        ec5f63
        default functionality instead.
        ec5f63

        ec5f63

        The translation rendering default functionality takes template

        ec5f63
        translation directory structure, duplicates it for each release number
        ec5f63
        specified in the <samp>`--filter='release-number''</samp> argument and
        ec5f63
        produces release-specific directories. As part of template translation
        ec5f63
        duplication process take place, the centos-art script adds
        5cee2c
        release-specific replacement commands for each specific translation
        ec5f63
        file inside release-specific directories. As result, specific
        ec5f63
        translation files, inside release-specific directories, contain
        ec5f63
        template translation replacement commands plus,
        ec5f63
        release-specific replacement commands.
        ec5f63

        ec5f63
        info

        Note

        Release-specific replacement commands are standardized

        ec5f63
        inside centos-art script using predifined release
        ec5f63
        translation markers. Release translation markers are described in the
        ec5f63
        translation marker section
        ec5f63
        (see Translation Markers).

        3.50.3 Usage

        ec5f63
        ec5f63
        ec5f63
        <samp>`centos-art render --entry='path/to/dir''</samp>
        ec5f63
        ec5f63

        When <samp>`path/to/dir'</samp> refers one directory under

        ec5f63
        <samp>`trunk/Translations'</samp>, this command orverwrites available
        ec5f63
        translation files using translation templates.
        ec5f63

        ec5f63
        ec5f63
        <samp>`centos-art render --entry='path/to/dir' --filter='pattern''</samp>
        ec5f63
        ec5f63

        When <samp>`path/to/dir'</samp> refers one directory under

        ec5f63
        <tt>`trunk/Translations'</tt>, this command renders release-specific
        ec5f63
        translation files as you specify in the <samp>`--filter='pattern''</samp>
        ec5f63
        argument. In this case, <samp>`pattern'</samp> not a regular expression but an
        ec5f63
        number (e.g., <samp>`5'</samp>) or a list of numbers separated by commas
        ec5f63
        (e.g., <samp>`3,4,5,6'</samp>) that specify the major release of CentOS
        ec5f63
        distribution you want to render translations for.
