    3.35.2 Description

    6c4982
    2b5e61

    When you create artwork for CentOS distribution you find that some

    2b5e61
    artworks need to be created for different major releases of CentOS
    2b5e61
    distribution and inside each major release that needs to be created for
    2b5e61
    different locales. To get an approximate idea of how many files we are
    2b5e61
    talking about, consider the followig approximate statistic:
    2b5e61

    2b5e61
      2b5e61
    • Inside CentOS distribution, there are around 30 images to
    • 2b5e61
      rebrand.(2)
      2b5e61
      2b5e61
    • There are near to four major releases of CentOS distribution to
    • 2b5e61
      rebrand in parallel development.(3) 
      2b5e61
      2b5e61
    • Each CentOS distribution in parallel development supports more
    • 2b5e61
      than two hundreds locales.(4)
      2b5e61
      2b5e61
      2b5e61

      In order to aliviate maintainance of artwork production for such

      2b5e61
      environment, we divided artwork production in three production lines:
      2b5e61

      2b5e61
        2b5e61
      1. See section trunk/Identity/Themes/Models, to define artworks
      2. 2b5e61
        characteristics (e.g., dimensions, position on the screen, etc.).
        2b5e61
      3. See section trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs, to define artworks visual
      4. 2b5e61
        styles (e.g., the look and feel).
        2b5e61
      5. Translations, to define which major releases and locales
      6. 2b5e61
        artworks are produced for. 
        2b5e61
        2b5e61
        2b5e61

        Inside CentOS Artwork Repository, the artworks' translation production

        2b5e61
        line is stored under <tt>`trunk/Translations'</tt> directory.
        2b5e61

        2b5e61

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

        2b5e61
        entries" to organize artworks' "translation files" and artworks'
        2b5e61
        "translation templates".
        2b5e61

        3.35.2.1 Translation Entries

        166893
        2b5e61

        Translation entries exists for each artwork you want to produce.

        2b5e61
        Translation entries can be empty directories, or directories
        2b5e61
        containing translation files and translation templates.  
        2b5e61

        2b5e61

        When translation entries are empty directories, the identity entry is

        2b5e61
        used as reference to create file names and directories layout for
        2b5e61
        rendered files.  In this case, the centos-art script takes
        2b5e61
        one design template and outputs one non-translated file for each
        2b5e61
        design template available.  This configuration is mainly used to
        2b5e61
        produce non-translatable artworks like themes' backgrounds.
        2b5e61

        2b5e61

        When translation entries contain translation files, the translation

        2b5e61
        entry implements the CentOS release schema and is used as reference to
        2b5e61
        create file names and directories layout for translated artworks. In
        2b5e61
        this case, the centos-art script applies one translation
        2b5e61
        file to one design template to create one translated instance which is
        2b5e61
        used to output one translated file. When the translated file is
        2b5e61
        rendered, the centos-art script remove the previous instance
        2b5e61
        and takes the next file in the list of translation files to repate the
        2b5e61
        whole process once again, and so on for all files in the list. This
        2b5e61
        configuration is mainly used to produce translatable artworks like
        2b5e61
        Anaconda progress slide images.
        2b5e61

        2b5e61

        To find out correspondence between translation entries and identity

        2b5e61
        entries, you need to look the path of both translation entries and
        2b5e61
        identity entries. For example, if you are using the Modern
        2b5e61
        artisitic motif, the identity entry for Anaconda progress artwork is:
        2b5e61

        2b5e61
        trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/Modern/Distro/Anaconda/Progress
        2b5e61
        2b5e61

        and its translation entry is:

        2b5e61

        2b5e61
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/Anaconda/Progress
        2b5e61
        2b5e61

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

        2b5e61
        directory, also how static values (e.g., Identity, Themes, Distro,
        2b5e61
        etc.) in the identity entry path remain in translation entry path, and
        2b5e61
        how variable values like theme names (e.g., Modern) are stript
        2b5e61
        out from translation entry path. The same convenction can be applied
        2b5e61
        to other identity entries in order to determine their translation
        2b5e61
        entries, or to other translation entries to determine their identity
        2b5e61
        entries.
        2b5e61

        2b5e61
        info

        Note

        Translation entries related to identity entries under

        2b5e61
        <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs'</tt> do not use <tt>`Motifs/'</tt> in the
        2b5e61
        path.  We've done this because <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Models'</tt>
        2b5e61
        structure, the other structure under <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes'</tt>,
        2b5e61
        doesn't require translation paths so far. So in the sake of saving
        2b5e61
        characters space when building translation entries for
        2b5e61
        <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs'</tt> structure, we organize Motifs
        2b5e61
        translation entries under <tt>`trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/'</tt>
        2b5e61
        directly. 
        2b5e61

        2b5e61

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

        2b5e61
        requires translation entries, we need to re-oraganize the current
        2b5e61
        directory structure accordingly.
        2b5e61

        2b5e61
        2b5e61

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

        2b5e61
        identity entries. For example the following identity entries:
        2b5e61

        2b5e61
        trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/Modern/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        2b5e61
        trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/TreeFlower/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        2b5e61
        trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/Mettle/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        2b5e61
        2b5e61

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

        2b5e61
        Anaconda progress translation entry (the one shown in our example
        2b5e61
        above). This way, you can create several identity entries and maintain
        2b5e61
        just one translation entry for all of them.  Once you change the
        2b5e61
        translation files inside the common translation entry, changes inside
        2b5e61
        identity entries will take effect inside the next you render them.
        2b5e61

        2b5e61

        Trying to make things plain and simple: inside CentOS Artwork

        2b5e61
        Repository, graphic designers can concentrate their efforts in
        2b5e61
        artworks look and feel (the identity entries), and translators in
        2b5e61
        artworks translations (the translation entries).

        3.35.2.2 Translation Markers

        2b5e61

        2b5e61
        2b5e61

        2b5e61

        Translation markers are used in "Theme Model Designs" and

        2b5e61
        "Translation Files" as replacement patterns to commit content
        2b5e61
        translation.  When you are rendering content using
        2b5e61
        centos-art script inisde <tt>`trunk/Identity'</tt> structure,
        2b5e61
        artistic motifs and translation files are applied to model designs to
        2b5e61
        produce translated content as result. In order to have the appropriate
        2b5e61
        translation in content rendered, markers defintion in translation
        2b5e61
        files should match markers in model designs exactly. 
        2b5e61

        2b5e61

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

        2b5e61
        we use the following to represent releases of CentOS distribution:
        2b5e61

        2b5e61
        2b5e61
        <samp>`=MINOR_RELEASE='</samp>
        2b5e61

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

        2b5e61
        release is represented by the N letter.
        2b5e61

        2b5e61
        <samp>`=MAJOR_RELEASE='</samp>
        2b5e61

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

        2b5e61
        the major release is represented by the M letter.
        2b5e61

        2b5e61
        <samp>`=RELEASE='</samp>
        2b5e61

        Replace the full release of CentOS distribution. It is

        2b5e61
        <samp>`=MAJOR_RELEASE=.=MINOR_RELEASE='</samp> basically. 
        2b5e61

        2b5e61
        2b5e61
        2b5e61

        Specific translation markers convenctions are described inside

        2b5e61
        specific translation entries. Read translation entries documentation
        2b5e61
        to know more about supported translation markers.
        2b5e61

        2b5e61

        Translation markers standardization creates a common point of

        2b5e61
        reference for translators and graphic designers. To have translation
        2b5e61
        markers well defined makes possible that translators and graphic
        2b5e61
        designers can work together but independently one another.
        2b5e61

        2b5e61
        2b5e61
        2b5e61

        3.35.2.3 Translation Files

        2b5e61
        2b5e61

        Translation files are text files with sed commands inside,

        2b5e61
        replacement commands mainly. As convenction, translation file names
        2b5e61
        end in <samp>`.sed'</samp>. Translation files are used by centos-art
        2b5e61
        script to produce translated artworks for specific major releases of
        2b5e61
        CentOS Distribution. There are common translation files, specific
        2b5e61
        translation, and template translation files.
        2b5e61

        2b5e61

        For example, the Firstboot artwork of CentOS distribution uses the

        2b5e61
        images <tt>`splash-small.png'</tt> and <tt>`firstboot-left.png'</tt> as based
        2b5e61
        to control its visual style. The <tt>`splash-small.png'</tt> image
        2b5e61
        contains, in its graphic design, the release number information of
        2b5e61
        CentOS distribution. So the <tt>`splash-small.png'</tt> is
        2b5e61
        release-specific. In the other hand, the <tt>`firstboot-left.png'</tt>
        2b5e61
        doesn't contain release number information. So the
        2b5e61
        <tt>`firstboot-left.png'</tt> is not release-specific.
        2b5e61

        2b5e61

        If we want to produce Firstboot artwork for different major releases

        2b5e61
        of CentOS distribution, using a monolithic visual identity, all
        2b5e61
        Firstboot images should have the same visual style and, at the same
        2b5e61
        time, the release-specific information in the release-specific images. 
        2b5e61

        2b5e61
        info

        Note

        The monolithic visual identity is implemented using

        2b5e61
        theme models (see section trunk/Identity/Themes/Models) and artistic
        2b5e61
        motifs (see section trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs).
        2b5e61

        2b5e61
        2b5e61

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

        2b5e61
        the initial translation entry to produce Firstboot artworks would look
        2b5e61
        like the following:
        2b5e61

        2b5e61
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/BootUp/Firstboot/
        2b5e61
        |-- Tpl
        2b5e61
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        2b5e61
        `-- firstboot-left.sed
        2b5e61
        2b5e61

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

        2b5e61
        to produce the image <tt>`firstboot-left.png'</tt> only. To produce
        2b5e61
        <tt>`splash-small.png'</tt> images for major releases (e.g., 3, 4, 5, and
        2b5e61
        6) of CentOS distribution we need to produce the release-specific
        2b5e61
        translation files using the centos-art script as following:
        2b5e61

        2b5e61
        centos-art render --entry=/home/centos/artwork/trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/BootUp/Firstboot --filter='3,4,5,6'
        2b5e61
        2b5e61

        The above command produces the following translation entiry:

        2b5e61

        2b5e61
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/BootUp/Firstboot/
        2b5e61
        |-- 3
        2b5e61

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

        2b5e61
        artwork images for major releases of CentOS distribution. To add new
        2b5e61
        release-specific translation files, run the translation rendering
        2b5e61
        command with the release number you want to produce translation files
        2b5e61
        for in the <samp>`--filter='release-number''</samp> argument.

        3.35.2.4 Template Translation Files

        2b5e61
        2b5e61

        Template translation files are translation files stored inside

        2b5e61
        translation template directory. Template translation files are used by
        2b5e61
        centos-art script to produce specific translation files
        2b5e61
        only. Template translation files may be empty or contain sed
        2b5e61
        replacement commands. If template translation files are empty files,
        2b5e61
        the final specifc translation file built from it contains
        2b5e61
        release-specific replacement commands only. For example, see the
        2b5e61
        following translation entry:
        2b5e61

        2b5e61
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/BootUp/Firstboot/
        2b5e61
        |-- 3
        2b5e61
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        2b5e61
        |-- 4
        2b5e61
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        2b5e61
        |-- 5
        2b5e61
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        2b5e61
        |-- 6
        2b5e61
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        2b5e61
        |-- Tpl
        2b5e61
        |   `-- splash-small.sed    <-- template translation file.
        2b5e61
        `-- firstboot-left.sed
        2b5e61
        2b5e61

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

        2b5e61
        translation file and looks like:
        2b5e61

        2b5e61
        # -------------------------------------
        2b5e61
        # $Id: splash-small.sed 94 2010-09-18 10:59:42Z al $
        2b5e61
        # -------------------------------------
        2b5e61
        2b5e61

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

        2b5e61
        but when you render it, the centos-art adds the
        2b5e61
        release-specific replacement commands. In our Firstboot example, after
        2b5e61
        rendering Firstboot translation entry, the <tt>`splash-small.sed'</tt>
        2b5e61
        translation file specific to CentOS 5, looks like the following:
        2b5e61

        2b5e61
        # Warning: Do not modify this file directly. This file is created
        2b5e61
        # automatically using 'centos-art' command line interface.  Any change
        2b5e61
        # you do in this file will be lost the next time you update
        2b5e61
        # translation files using 'centos-art' command line interface. If you
        2b5e61
        # want to improve the content of this translation file, improve its
        2b5e61
        # template file instead and run the 'centos-art' command line
        2b5e61
        # interface later to propagate your changes.
        2b5e61
        # -------------------------------------
        2b5e61
        # $Id: splash-small.sed 94 2010-09-18 10:59:42Z al $
        2b5e61
        # -------------------------------------
        2b5e61
        2b5e61
        # Release number information.
        2b5e61
        s!=RELEASE=!=MAJOR_RELEASE=.=MINOR_RELEASE=!g
        2b5e61
        s!=MINOR_RELEASE=!0!g
        2b5e61
        s!=MAJOR_RELEASE=!5!g
        2b5e61
        2b5e61

        If template translation files are not empty, replacement commands

        2b5e61
        inside template translation files are preserved inside
        2b5e61
        release-specific translation files.  For example, consider the English
        2b5e61
        template translation file of Anaconda progress welcome slide.  The
        2b5e61
        translation template directory structure looks like the following:
        2b5e61

        2b5e61
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        2b5e61
        `-- Tpl
        2b5e61
            `-- en
        2b5e61
                `-- 01-welcome.sed
        2b5e61
        2b5e61

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

        2b5e61
        releases, the translation entry would look like the following:
        2b5e61

        2b5e61
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        2b5e61
        |-- 4
        2b5e61
        |   `-- en
        2b5e61
        |       `-- 01-welcome.sed
        2b5e61
        |-- 5
        2b5e61
        |   `-- en
        2b5e61
        |       `-- 01-welcome.sed
        2b5e61
        `-- Tpl
        2b5e61
            `-- en
        2b5e61
                `-- 01-welcome.sed
        2b5e61
        2b5e61
        info

        Note

        Release-specific translation directories preserve

        2b5e61
        template translation directory structure and file names.
        2b5e61

        2b5e61
        2b5e61

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

        2b5e61
        following:
        2b5e61

        2b5e61
        # ------------------------------------------------------------

        2b5e61
        2b5e61

        and, after render the translation entry, specific translation files

        2b5e61
        look like the following:
        2b5e61

        2b5e61

        s!=MAJOR_RELEASE=!5!g
        2b5e61
        2b5e61

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

        2b5e61
        followed by a separation character (e.g., <samp>`/'</samp>, <samp>`!'</samp>, etc.).
        2b5e61
        These lines have the following format:
        2b5e61

        2b5e61
        s/REGEXP/REPLACEMENT/FLAGS
        2b5e61
        2b5e61

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

        2b5e61
        character within any given s command.  The <samp>`/'</samp>
        2b5e61
        character (or whatever other character is used in its stead) can
        2b5e61
        appear in the REGEXP or REPLACEMENT only if it is preceded by a
        2b5e61
        <samp>`\'</samp> character.
        2b5e61

        2b5e61

        The s command is probably the most important in

        2b5e61
        sed and has a lot of different options.  Its basic concept
        2b5e61
        is simple: the s command attempts to match the pattern space
        2b5e61
        against the supplied REGEXP; if the match is successful, then that
        2b5e61
        portion of the pattern space which was matched is replaced with
        2b5e61
        REPLACEMENT.
        2b5e61

        2b5e61

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

        2b5e61
        define translation markers and REPLACEMENT where you define the
        2b5e61
        translation text you want to have after artworks rendering.  Sometimes
        2b5e61
        we use the FLAG component with the <samp>`g'</samp> command to apply the
        2b5e61
        replacements globally.
        2b5e61

        2b5e61
        Info

        Tip

        More information about how to use sed

        2b5e61
        replacement commands and flags is available in sed
        2b5e61
        documentation manual. To read sed documentation manual type
        2b5e61
        the following command: 
        2b5e61

        info sed
        2b5e61
        2b5e61
        2b5e61

        Inside translation files, you can use translation markers not only

        2b5e61
        inside the REGEXP but in the REPLACEMENT too. In order for this
        2b5e61
        configuration to work, the REPLACEMENT of translation markers needs to
        2b5e61
        be define after its definition. For example, see in the
        2b5e61
        release-specific translation file above, how the
        2b5e61
        <samp>`s!=MAJOR_RELASE=!5!g'</samp> replacement command is defined
        2b5e61
        after <samp>`=MAJOR_RELASE='</samp> translation marker definition in
        2b5e61
        the REPLACEMENT of <samp>`=TITLE='</samp> translation marker replacement
        2b5e61
        command.

        3.35.2.5 Common Translation Files

        2b5e61
        2b5e61

        Common translation files contain common translations or no

        2b5e61
        translation at all for their related artworks.  They are in the root
        2b5e61
        directory of the translation entry. Common translation files create
        2b5e61
        common artworks for all major releases of CentOS Distribution. 
        2b5e61

        2b5e61

        Translation entries, with common translation files inside, look like

        2b5e61
        the following:
        2b5e61

        3.35.2.6 Specific Translation Files

        2b5e61
        2b5e61

        Specific translation files contain specific translations for their

        2b5e61
        related artworks. Specific translation files are not in the root
        2b5e61
        directory of the translation entry, but inside directories which
        2b5e61
        describe the type of translation they are doing. Specific translation
        2b5e61
        files are produced automatically using the centos-art
        2b5e61
        script.

        3.35.2.7 Translation Rendering

        2b5e61
        2b5e61

        When rendering translations, the centos-art script checks

        2b5e61
        the translation entry to verify that it has a translation template
        2b5e61
        directory inside. The translation template directory (<tt>`Tpl/'</tt>)
        2b5e61
        contains common translation files used to build release-specific
        2b5e61
        translation files. If the translation template directory doesn't exist
        2b5e61
        inside the translation entry the translation rendering fails. In this
        2b5e61
        case the centos-art script outputs a message and quits
        2b5e61
        script execution.

        When the centos-art script finds a translation template

        2b5e61
        directory inside translation entry, it looks for translations
        2b5e61
        pre-rendering configuration scripts for that translation entry.
        2b5e61
        Translation pre-rendering configuration scripts let you extend
        2b5e61
        translation default functionality (described below). 
        2b5e61

        2b5e61

        Translation pre-rendering configuration scripts are stored under

        2b5e61
        <tt>`trunk/Scripts'</tt> directory, specifically under the appropriate
        2b5e61
        language implementation. If you are using centos-art Bash
        2b5e61
        implementation, the translation pre-rendering scripts are store in the
        2b5e61
        <tt>`trunk/Scripts/Bash/Config'</tt> location; if you are using
        2b5e61
        centos-art Python implementation, then translation
        2b5e61
        pre-rendering scripts are stored in the
        2b5e61
        <tt>`trunk/Scripts/Python/Config'</tt> location, and so on for other
        2b5e61
        implementations.
        2b5e61

        2b5e61

        Bash translation pre-rendering configuration scripts look like the

        2b5e61
        following:
        2b5e61

        2b5e61
        #!/bin/bash
        2b5e61
        #
        2b5e61
        # render_loadConfig.sh -- brief description here.

        Translation pre-rendering scripts are function scripts loaded and

        2b5e61
        executed when rendering a translation entry. Translation pre-rendering
        2b5e61
        scripts are loaded using the translation entry being rendered as
        2b5e61
        reference. For example, suppose you are using the
        2b5e61
        centos-art Bash implementation, and you are rendering
        2b5e61
        translations for CentOS brands, in this situation the translation
        2b5e61
        entry would be:
        2b5e61

        2b5e61
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Brands
        2b5e61
        2b5e61

        and the entry inside the translation pre-rendering configuration

        2b5e61
        structure would be:
        2b5e61

        2b5e61
        trunk/Scripts/Bash/Config/Identity/Brands
        2b5e61
        2b5e61

        Once the centos-art script detects that translation

        2b5e61
        pre-rendering configuration directory exists, the centos-art
        2b5e61
        script looks for the translation pre-rendering configuration file.  If
        2b5e61
        the translation pre-rendering configuration file exists, it is loaded
        2b5e61
        and executed.  Once the translation pre-rendering configuration file
        2b5e61
        has been executed the translation rendering process is over, and so
        2b5e61
        the script execution.
        2b5e61

        2b5e61
        info

        Note

        Translation pre-rendering configuration files have the

        2b5e61
        following form:
        2b5e61

        render.conf.extension
        2b5e61

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

        2b5e61
        you are using. For example, <samp>`sh'</samp> for Bash, <samp>`py'</samp> for Python,
        2b5e61
        <samp>`pl'</samp> for Perl, and so on for other implementations.
        2b5e61

        2b5e61
        2b5e61

        As we are using Bash implementation to describe the translation

        2b5e61
        pre-rendering configuration example, the translation pre-rendering
        2b5e61
        configuration file that centos-art looks for, inside the
        2b5e61
        above translation pre-rendering configuration directory, is
        2b5e61
        <tt>`render.conf.sh'</tt>.

        3.35.2.9 Translation Rendering Default Functionality

        2b5e61
        2b5e61

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

        2b5e61
        doesn't exist, or it isn't written as function script, the
        2b5e61
        centos-art script ignore translation pre-rendering
        2b5e61
        configuration functionality and passes to render translation using
        2b5e61
        default functionality instead.
        2b5e61

        2b5e61

        The translation rendering default functionality takes template

        2b5e61
        translation directory structure, duplicates it for each release number
        2b5e61
        specified in the <samp>`--filter='release-number''</samp> argument and
        2b5e61
        produces release-specific directories. As part of template translation
        2b5e61
        duplication process take place, the centos-art script adds
        2b5e61
        release-specific replacement commands for each specific translation
        2b5e61
        file inside release-specific directories. As result, specific
        2b5e61
        translation files, inside release-specific directories, contain
        2b5e61
        template translation replacement commands plus,
        2b5e61
        release-specific replacement commands.
        2b5e61

        2b5e61
        info

        Note

        Release-specific replacement commands are standardized

        2b5e61
        inside centos-art script using predifined release
        2b5e61
        translation markers. Release translation markers are described in the
        2b5e61
        translation marker section
        2b5e61
        (see Translation Markers).

        3.35.3 Usage

        2b5e61
        2b5e61
        2b5e61
        <samp>`centos-art render --entry='path/to/dir''</samp>
        2b5e61
        2b5e61

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

        2b5e61
        <samp>`trunk/Translations'</samp>, this command orverwrites available
        2b5e61
        translation files using translation templates.
        2b5e61

        2b5e61
        2b5e61
        <samp>`centos-art render --entry='path/to/dir' --filter='pattern''</samp>
        2b5e61
        2b5e61

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

        2b5e61
        <tt>`trunk/Translations'</tt>, this command renders release-specific
        2b5e61
        translation files as you specify in the <samp>`--filter='pattern''</samp>
        2b5e61
        argument. In this case, <samp>`pattern'</samp> not a regular expression but an
        2b5e61
        number (e.g., <samp>`5'</samp>) or a list of numbers separated by commas
        2b5e61
        (e.g., <samp>`3,4,5,6'</samp>) that specify the major release of CentOS
        2b5e61
        distribution you want to render translations for.
