    3.35.2 Description

    7e35dc
    42563b

    When you create artwork for CentOS distribution you find that some

    42563b
    artworks need to be created for different major releases of CentOS
    42563b
    distribution and inside each major release that needs to be created for
    42563b
    different locales. To get an approximate idea of how many files we are
    42563b
    talking about, consider the followig approximate statistic:
    42563b

    2c3589
      42563b
    • Inside CentOS distribution, there are around 30 images to
    • 42563b
      rebrand.(2)
      42563b
      42563b
    • There are near to four major releases of CentOS distribution to
    • 42563b
      rebrand in parallel development.(3) 
      42563b
      42563b
    • Each CentOS distribution in parallel development supports more
    • 42563b
      than two hundreds locales.(4)
      2c3589
      2c3589
      42563b

      In order to aliviate maintainance of artwork production for such

      42563b
      environment, we divided artwork production in three production lines:
      42563b

      42563b
        42563b
      1. See section trunk/Identity/Themes/Models, to define artworks
      2. 42563b
        characteristics (e.g., dimensions, position on the screen, etc.).
        42563b
      3. See section trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs, to define artworks visual
      4. 42563b
        styles (e.g., the look and feel).
        42563b
      5. Translations, to define which major releases and locales
      6. 42563b
        artworks are produced for. 
        42563b
        42563b
        42563b

        Inside CentOS Artwork Repository, the artworks' translation production

        42563b
        line is stored under <tt>`trunk/Translations'</tt> directory.
        42563b

        42563b

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

        42563b
        entries" to organize artworks' "translation files" and artworks'
        42563b
        "translation templates".
        42563b

        42563b
        42563b
        42563b

        3.35.2.1 Translation Entries

        42563b
        42563b

        Translation entries exists for each artwork you want to produce.

        42563b
        Translation entries can be empty directories, or directories
        42563b
        containing translation files and translation templates.  
        42563b

        42563b

        When translation entries are empty directories, the identity entry is

        42563b
        used as reference to create file names and directories layout for
        42563b
        rendered files.  In this case, the centos-art script takes
        42563b
        one design template and outputs one non-translated file for each
        42563b
        design template available.  This configuration is mainly used to
        42563b
        produce non-translatable artworks like themes' backgrounds.
        42563b

        42563b

        When translation entries contain translation files, the translation

        42563b
        entry implements the CentOS release schema and is used as reference to
        42563b
        create file names and directories layout for translated artworks. In
        42563b
        this case, the centos-art script applies one translation
        42563b
        file to one design template to create one translated instance which is
        42563b
        used to output one translated file. When the translated file is
        42563b
        rendered, the centos-art script remove the previous instance
        42563b
        and takes the next file in the list of translation files to repate the
        42563b
        whole process once again, and so on for all files in the list. This
        42563b
        configuration is mainly used to produce translatable artworks like
        42563b
        Anaconda progress slide images.
        42563b

        42563b

        To find out correspondence between translation entries and identity

        42563b
        entries, you need to look the path of both translation entries and
        42563b
        identity entries. For example, if you are using the Modern
        42563b
        artisitic motif, the identity entry for Anaconda progress artwork is:
        42563b

        42563b
        trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/Modern/Distro/Anaconda/Progress
        42563b
        42563b

        and its translation entry is:

        42563b

        42563b
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/Anaconda/Progress
        42563b
        42563b

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

        42563b
        directory, also how static values (e.g., Identity, Themes, Distro,
        42563b
        etc.) in the identity entry path remain in translation entry path, and
        42563b
        how variable values like theme names (e.g., Modern) are stript
        42563b
        out from translation entry path. The same convenction can be applied
        42563b
        to other identity entries in order to determine their translation
        42563b
        entries, or to other translation entries to determine their identity
        42563b
        entries.
        42563b

        42563b
        info

        Note

        Translation entries related to identity entries under

        42563b
        <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs'</tt> do not use <tt>`Motifs/'</tt> in the
        42563b
        path.  We've done this because <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Models'</tt>
        42563b
        structure, the other structure under <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes'</tt>,
        42563b
        doesn't require translation paths so far. So in the sake of saving
        42563b
        characters space when building translation entries for
        42563b
        <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs'</tt> structure, we organize Motifs
        42563b
        translation entries under <tt>`trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/'</tt>
        42563b
        directly. 
        42563b

        42563b

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

        42563b
        requires translation entries, we need to re-oraganize the current
        42563b
        directory structure accordingly.
        42563b

        42563b
        42563b

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

        42563b
        identity entries. For example the following identity entries:
        42563b

        42563b
        trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/Modern/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        42563b
        trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/TreeFlower/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        42563b
        trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/Mettle/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        42563b
        42563b

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

        42563b
        Anaconda progress translation entry (the one shown in our example
        42563b
        above). This way, you can create several identity entries and maintain
        42563b
        just one translation entry for all of them.  Once you change the
        42563b
        translation files inside the common translation entry, changes inside
        42563b
        identity entries will take effect inside the next you render them.
        42563b

        42563b

        Trying to make things plain and simple: inside CentOS Artwork

        42563b
        Repository, graphic designers can concentrate their efforts in
        42563b
        artworks look and feel (the identity entries), and translators in
        42563b
        artworks translations (the translation entries).
        42563b

        42563b
        42563b
        42563b

        3.35.2.2 Translation Markers

        42563b

        42563b
        42563b

        42563b

        Translation markers are used in "Theme Model Designs" and

        42563b
        "Translation Files" as replacement patterns to commit content
        42563b
        translation.  When you are rendering content using
        42563b
        centos-art script inisde <tt>`trunk/Identity'</tt> structure,
        42563b
        artistic motifs and translation files are applied to model designs to
        42563b
        produce translated content as result. In order to have the appropriate
        42563b
        translation in content rendered, markers defintion in translation
        42563b
        files should match markers in model designs exactly. 
        42563b

        42563b

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

        42563b
        we use the following to represent releases of CentOS distribution:
        42563b

        42563b
        42563b
        <samp>`=MINOR_RELEASE='</samp>
        42563b

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

        42563b
        release is represented by the N letter.
        42563b

        42563b
        <samp>`=MAJOR_RELEASE='</samp>
        42563b

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

        42563b
        the major release is represented by the M letter.
        42563b

        42563b
        <samp>`=RELEASE='</samp>
        42563b

        Replace the full release of CentOS distribution. It is

        42563b
        <samp>`=MAJOR_RELEASE=.=MINOR_RELEASE='</samp> basically. 
        42563b

        42563b
        42563b
        42563b

        Specific translation markers convenctions are described inside

        42563b
        specific translation entries. Read translation entries documentation
        42563b
        to know more about supported translation markers.
        42563b

        42563b

        Translation markers standardization creates a common point of

        42563b
        reference for translators and graphic designers. To have translation
        42563b
        markers well defined makes possible that translators and graphic
        42563b
        designers can work together but independently one another.
        42563b

        42563b
        42563b
        42563b

        3.35.2.3 Translation Files

        42563b
        42563b

        Translation files are text files with sed commands inside,

        42563b
        replacement commands mainly. As convenction, translation file names
        42563b
        end in <samp>`.sed'</samp>. Translation files are used by centos-art
        42563b
        script to produce translated artworks for specific major releases of
        42563b
        CentOS Distribution. There are common translation files, specific
        42563b
        translation, and template translation files.
        42563b

        42563b

        For example, the Firstboot artwork of CentOS distribution uses the

        42563b
        images <tt>`splash-small.png'</tt> and <tt>`firstboot-left.png'</tt> as based
        42563b
        to control its visual style. The <tt>`splash-small.png'</tt> image
        42563b
        contains, in its graphic design, the release number information of
        42563b
        CentOS distribution. So the <tt>`splash-small.png'</tt> is
        42563b
        release-specific. In the other hand, the <tt>`firstboot-left.png'</tt>
        42563b
        doesn't contain release number information. So the
        42563b
        <tt>`firstboot-left.png'</tt> is not release-specific.
        42563b

        42563b

        If we want to produce Firstboot artwork for different major releases

        42563b
        of CentOS distribution, using a monolithic visual identity, all
        42563b
        Firstboot images should have the same visual style and, at the same
        42563b
        time, the release-specific information in the release-specific images. 
        42563b

        42563b
        info

        Note

        The monolithic visual identity is implemented using

        42563b
        theme models (see section trunk/Identity/Themes/Models) and artistic
        42563b
        motifs (see section trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs).
        42563b

        42563b
        42563b

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

        42563b
        the initial translation entry to produce Firstboot artworks would look
        42563b
        like the following:
        42563b

        42563b
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/BootUp/Firstboot/
        42563b
        |-- Tpl
        42563b
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        42563b
        `-- firstboot-left.sed
        42563b
        42563b

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

        42563b
        to produce the image <tt>`firstboot-left.png'</tt> only. To produce
        42563b
        <tt>`splash-small.png'</tt> images for major releases (e.g., 3, 4, 5, and
        42563b
        6) of CentOS distribution we need to produce the release-specific
        42563b
        translation files using the centos-art script as following:
        42563b

        42563b
        centos-art render --entry=/home/centos/artwork/trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/BootUp/Firstboot --filter='3,4,5,6'
        42563b
        42563b

        The above command produces the following translation entiry:

        42563b

        42563b
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/BootUp/Firstboot/
        42563b
        |-- 3

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

        42563b
        artwork images for major releases of CentOS distribution. To add new
        42563b
        release-specific translation files, run the translation rendering
        42563b
        command with the release number you want to produce translation files
        42563b
        for in the <samp>`--filter='release-number''</samp> argument.

        3.35.2.4 Template Translation Files

        42563b
        42563b

        Template translation files are translation files stored inside

        42563b
        translation template directory. Template translation files are used by
        42563b
        centos-art script to produce specific translation files
        42563b
        only. Template translation files may be empty or contain sed
        42563b
        replacement commands. If template translation files are empty files,
        42563b
        the final specifc translation file built from it contains
        42563b
        release-specific replacement commands only. For example, see the
        42563b
        following translation entry:
        42563b

        42563b
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/BootUp/Firstboot/
        42563b
        |-- 3
        42563b
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        42563b
        |-- 4
        42563b
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        42563b
        |-- 5
        42563b
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        42563b
        |-- 6
        42563b
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        42563b
        |-- Tpl
        42563b
        |   `-- splash-small.sed    <-- template translation file.
        42563b
        `-- firstboot-left.sed
        42563b
        42563b

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

        42563b
        translation file and looks like:
        42563b

        42563b
        # -------------------------------------
        42563b
        # $Id: splash-small.sed 94 2010-09-18 10:59:42Z al $
        42563b
        # -------------------------------------
        42563b
        42563b

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

        42563b
        but when you render it, the centos-art adds the
        42563b
        release-specific replacement commands. In our Firstboot example, after
        42563b
        rendering Firstboot translation entry, the <tt>`splash-small.sed'</tt>
        42563b
        translation file specific to CentOS 5, looks like the following:
        42563b

        42563b
        # Warning: Do not modify this file directly. This file is created
        42563b
        # automatically using 'centos-art' command line interface.  Any change
        42563b
        # you do in this file will be lost the next time you update
        42563b
        # translation files using 'centos-art' command line interface. If you
        42563b
        # want to improve the content of this translation file, improve its
        42563b
        # template file instead and run the 'centos-art' command line
        42563b
        # interface later to propagate your changes.
        42563b
        # -------------------------------------
        42563b
        # $Id: splash-small.sed 94 2010-09-18 10:59:42Z al $
        42563b
        # -------------------------------------
        42563b
        42563b
        # Release number information.
        42563b
        s!=RELEASE=!=MAJOR_RELEASE=.=MINOR_RELEASE=!g
        42563b
        s!=MINOR_RELEASE=!0!g
        42563b
        s!=MAJOR_RELEASE=!5!g
        42563b
        42563b

        If template translation files are not empty, replacement commands

        42563b
        inside template translation files are preserved inside
        42563b
        release-specific translation files.  For example, consider the English
        42563b
        template translation file of Anaconda progress welcome slide.  The
        42563b
        translation template directory structure looks like the following:
        42563b

        42563b
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        42563b
        `-- Tpl
        42563b
            `-- en
        42563b
                `-- 01-welcome.sed
        42563b
        42563b

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

        42563b
        releases, the translation entry would look like the following:
        42563b

        42563b
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        42563b
        |-- 4
        42563b
        |   `-- en
        42563b
        |       `-- 01-welcome.sed
        42563b
        |-- 5
        42563b
        |   `-- en
        42563b
        |       `-- 01-welcome.sed
        42563b
        `-- Tpl
        42563b
            `-- en
        42563b
                `-- 01-welcome.sed
        42563b
        42563b
        info

        Note

        Release-specific translation directories preserve

        42563b
        template translation directory structure and file names.
        42563b

        42563b
        42563b

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

        42563b
        following:
        42563b

        42563b
        # ------------------------------------------------------------

        s!=URL=!http://www.centos.org/!
        42563b
        42563b

        and, after render the translation entry, specific translation files

        42563b
        look like the following:
        42563b

        42563b

        42563b

        s!=MAJOR_RELEASE=!5!g
        42563b
        42563b

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

        42563b
        followed by a separation character (e.g., <samp>`/'</samp>, <samp>`!'</samp>, etc.).
        42563b
        These lines have the following format:
        42563b

        42563b
        s/REGEXP/REPLACEMENT/FLAGS
        42563b
        42563b

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

        42563b
        character within any given s command.  The <samp>`/'</samp>
        42563b
        character (or whatever other character is used in its stead) can
        42563b
        appear in the REGEXP or REPLACEMENT only if it is preceded by a
        42563b
        <samp>`\'</samp> character.
        42563b

        42563b

        The s command is probably the most important in

        42563b
        sed and has a lot of different options.  Its basic concept
        42563b
        is simple: the s command attempts to match the pattern space
        42563b
        against the supplied REGEXP; if the match is successful, then that
        42563b
        portion of the pattern space which was matched is replaced with
        42563b
        REPLACEMENT.
        42563b

        42563b

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

        42563b
        define translation markers and REPLACEMENT where you define the
        42563b
        translation text you want to have after artworks rendering.  Sometimes
        42563b
        we use the FLAG component with the <samp>`g'</samp> command to apply the
        42563b
        replacements globally.
        42563b

        42563b
        Info

        Tip

        More information about how to use sed

        42563b
        replacement commands and flags is available in sed
        42563b
        documentation manual. To read sed documentation manual type
        42563b
        the following command: 
        42563b

        info sed
        42563b
        42563b
        42563b

        Inside translation files, you can use translation markers not only

        42563b
        inside the REGEXP but in the REPLACEMENT too. In order for this
        42563b
        configuration to work, the REPLACEMENT of translation markers needs to
        42563b
        be define after its definition. For example, see in the
        42563b
        release-specific translation file above, how the
        42563b
        <samp>`s!=MAJOR_RELASE=!5!g'</samp> replacement command is defined
        42563b
        after <samp>`=MAJOR_RELASE='</samp> translation marker definition in
        42563b
        the REPLACEMENT of <samp>`=TITLE='</samp> translation marker replacement
        42563b
        command.

        3.35.2.5 Common Translation Files

        42563b
        42563b

        Common translation files contain common translations or no

        42563b
        translation at all for their related artworks.  They are in the root
        42563b
        directory of the translation entry. Common translation files create
        42563b
        common artworks for all major releases of CentOS Distribution. 
        42563b

        42563b

        Translation entries, with common translation files inside, look like

        42563b
        the following:
        42563b

        3.35.2.6 Specific Translation Files

        42563b
        42563b

        Specific translation files contain specific translations for their

        42563b
        related artworks. Specific translation files are not in the root
        42563b
        directory of the translation entry, but inside directories which
        42563b
        describe the type of translation they are doing. Specific translation
        42563b
        files are produced automatically using the centos-art
        42563b
        script.

        3.35.2.7 Translation Rendering

        42563b
        42563b

        When rendering translations, the centos-art script checks

        42563b
        the translation entry to verify that it has a translation template
        42563b
        directory inside. The translation template directory (<tt>`Tpl/'</tt>)
        42563b
        contains common translation files used to build release-specific
        42563b
        translation files. If the translation template directory doesn't exist
        42563b
        inside the translation entry the translation rendering fails. In this
        42563b
        case the centos-art script outputs a message and quits
        42563b
        script execution.

        42563b

        When the centos-art script finds a translation template

        42563b
        directory inside translation entry, it looks for translations
        42563b
        pre-rendering configuration scripts for that translation entry.
        42563b
        Translation pre-rendering configuration scripts let you extend
        42563b
        translation default functionality (described below). 
        42563b

        42563b

        Translation pre-rendering configuration scripts are stored under

        42563b
        <tt>`trunk/Scripts'</tt> directory, specifically under the appropriate
        42563b
        language implementation. If you are using centos-art Bash
        42563b
        implementation, the translation pre-rendering scripts are store in the
        42563b
        <tt>`trunk/Scripts/Bash/Config'</tt> location; if you are using
        42563b
        centos-art Python implementation, then translation
        42563b
        pre-rendering scripts are stored in the
        42563b
        <tt>`trunk/Scripts/Python/Config'</tt> location, and so on for other
        42563b
        implementations.
        42563b

        42563b

        Bash translation pre-rendering configuration scripts look like the

        42563b
        following:
        42563b

        42563b
        #!/bin/bash
        42563b
        #
        42563b
        # render_loadConfig.sh -- brief description here.

        function render_loadConfig {
        42563b
        ...

        }

        42563b

        Translation pre-rendering scripts are function scripts loaded and

        42563b
        executed when rendering a translation entry. Translation pre-rendering
        42563b
        scripts are loaded using the translation entry being rendered as
        42563b
        reference. For example, suppose you are using the
        42563b
        centos-art Bash implementation, and you are rendering
        42563b
        translations for CentOS brands, in this situation the translation
        42563b
        entry would be:
        42563b

        42563b
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Brands
        42563b
        42563b

        and the entry inside the translation pre-rendering configuration

        42563b
        structure would be:
        42563b

        42563b
        trunk/Scripts/Bash/Config/Identity/Brands
        42563b
        42563b

        Once the centos-art script detects that translation

        42563b
        pre-rendering configuration directory exists, the centos-art
        42563b
        script looks for the translation pre-rendering configuration file.  If
        42563b
        the translation pre-rendering configuration file exists, it is loaded
        42563b
        and executed.  Once the translation pre-rendering configuration file
        42563b
        has been executed the translation rendering process is over, and so
        42563b
        the script execution.

        42563b
        info

        Note

        Translation pre-rendering configuration files have the

        42563b
        following form:
        42563b

        render.conf.extension
        42563b

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

        42563b
        you are using. For example, <samp>`sh'</samp> for Bash, <samp>`py'</samp> for Python,
        42563b
        <samp>`pl'</samp> for Perl, and so on for other implementations.
        42563b

        42563b
        42563b

        As we are using Bash implementation to describe the translation

        42563b
        pre-rendering configuration example, the translation pre-rendering
        42563b
        configuration file that centos-art looks for, inside the
        42563b
        above translation pre-rendering configuration directory, is
        42563b
        <tt>`render.conf.sh'</tt>.

        3.35.2.9 Translation Rendering Default Functionality

        42563b
        42563b

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

        42563b
        doesn't exist, or it isn't written as function script, the
        42563b
        centos-art script ignore translation pre-rendering
        42563b
        configuration functionality and passes to render translation using
        42563b
        default functionality instead.
        42563b

        42563b

        The translation rendering default functionality takes template

        42563b
        translation directory structure, duplicates it for each release number
        42563b
        specified in the <samp>`--filter='release-number''</samp> argument and
        42563b
        produces release-specific directories. As part of template translation
        42563b
        duplication process take place, the centos-art script adds
        42563b
        release-specific replacement commands for each specific translation
        42563b
        file inside release-specific directories. As result, specific
        42563b
        translation files, inside release-specific directories, contain
        42563b
        template translation replacement commands plus,
        42563b
        release-specific replacement commands.

        info

        Note

        Release-specific replacement commands are standardized

        42563b
        inside centos-art script using predifined release
        42563b
        translation markers. Release translation markers are described in the
        42563b
        translation marker section
        42563b
        (see Translation Markers).

        3.35.3 Usage

        7e35dc
        42563b
        42563b
        <samp>`centos-art render --entry='path/to/dir''</samp>
        42563b
        42563b

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

        42563b
        <samp>`trunk/Translations'</samp>, this command orverwrites available
        42563b
        translation files using translation templates.
        42563b

        42563b
        42563b
        <samp>`centos-art render --entry='path/to/dir' --filter='pattern''</samp>
        42563b
        42563b

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

        42563b
        <tt>`trunk/Translations'</tt>, this command renders release-specific
        42563b
        translation files as you specify in the <samp>`--filter='pattern''</samp>
        42563b
        argument. In this case, <samp>`pattern'</samp> not a regular expression but an
        42563b
        number (e.g., <samp>`5'</samp>) or a list of numbers separated by commas
        42563b
        (e.g., <samp>`3,4,5,6'</samp>) that specify the major release of CentOS
        42563b
        distribution you want to render translations for.
