    3.36.2 Description

    5fb024
    70ef27

    When you create artwork for CentOS distribution you find that some

    70ef27
    artworks need to be created for different major releases of CentOS
    70ef27
    distribution and inside each major release that needs to be created for
    70ef27
    different locales. To get an approximate idea of how many files we are
    70ef27
    talking about, consider the followig approximate statistic:
    70ef27

    42563b
      70ef27
    • Inside CentOS distribution, there are around 30 images to
    • 70ef27
      rebrand.(2)
      70ef27
      70ef27
    • There are near to four major releases of CentOS distribution to
    • 70ef27
      rebrand in parallel development.(3) 
      70ef27
      70ef27
    • Each CentOS distribution in parallel development supports more
    • 70ef27
      than two hundreds locales.(4)
      42563b
      c12cdc
      70ef27

      In order to aliviate maintainance of artwork production for such

      70ef27
      environment, we divided artwork production in three production lines:
      70ef27

      70ef27
        70ef27
      1. See section trunk/Identity/Themes/Models, to define artworks
      2. 70ef27
        characteristics (e.g., dimensions, position on the screen, etc.).
        70ef27
      3. See section trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs, to define artworks visual
      4. 70ef27
        styles (e.g., the look and feel).
        70ef27
      5. Translations, to define which major releases and locales
      6. 70ef27
        artworks are produced for. 
        70ef27
        70ef27
        70ef27

        Inside CentOS Artwork Repository, the artworks' translation production

        70ef27
        line is stored under <tt>`trunk/Translations'</tt> directory.
        70ef27

        70ef27

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

        70ef27
        entries" to organize artworks' "translation files" and artworks'
        70ef27
        "translation templates".
        70ef27

        70ef27
        70ef27
        70ef27

        3.36.2.1 Translation Entries

        70ef27
        70ef27

        Translation entries exists for each artwork you want to produce.

        70ef27
        Translation entries can be empty directories, or directories
        70ef27
        containing translation files and translation templates.  
        70ef27

        70ef27

        When translation entries are empty directories, the identity entry is

        70ef27
        used as reference to create file names and directories layout for
        70ef27
        rendered files.  In this case, the centos-art script takes
        70ef27
        one design template and outputs one non-translated file for each
        70ef27
        design template available.  This configuration is mainly used to
        70ef27
        produce non-translatable artworks like themes' backgrounds.
        70ef27

        70ef27

        When translation entries contain translation files, the translation

        70ef27
        entry implements the CentOS release schema and is used as reference to
        70ef27
        create file names and directories layout for translated artworks. In
        70ef27
        this case, the centos-art script applies one translation
        70ef27
        file to one design template to create one translated instance which is
        70ef27
        used to output one translated file. When the translated file is
        70ef27
        rendered, the centos-art script remove the previous instance
        70ef27
        and takes the next file in the list of translation files to repate the
        70ef27
        whole process once again, and so on for all files in the list. This
        70ef27
        configuration is mainly used to produce translatable artworks like
        70ef27
        Anaconda progress slide images.
        70ef27

        70ef27

        To find out correspondence between translation entries and identity

        70ef27
        entries, you need to look the path of both translation entries and
        70ef27
        identity entries. For example, if you are using the Modern
        70ef27
        artisitic motif, the identity entry for Anaconda progress artwork is:
        70ef27

        70ef27
        trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/Modern/Distro/Anaconda/Progress
        70ef27
        70ef27

        and its translation entry is:

        70ef27

        70ef27
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/Anaconda/Progress
        70ef27
        70ef27

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

        70ef27
        directory, also how static values (e.g., Identity, Themes, Distro,
        70ef27
        etc.) in the identity entry path remain in translation entry path, and
        70ef27
        how variable values like theme names (e.g., Modern) are stript
        70ef27
        out from translation entry path. The same convenction can be applied
        70ef27
        to other identity entries in order to determine their translation
        70ef27
        entries, or to other translation entries to determine their identity
        70ef27
        entries.
        70ef27

        70ef27
        info

        Note

        Translation entries related to identity entries under

        70ef27
        <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs'</tt> do not use <tt>`Motifs/'</tt> in the
        70ef27
        path.  We've done this because <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Models'</tt>
        70ef27
        structure, the other structure under <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes'</tt>,
        70ef27
        doesn't require translation paths so far. So in the sake of saving
        70ef27
        characters space when building translation entries for
        70ef27
        <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs'</tt> structure, we organize Motifs
        70ef27
        translation entries under <tt>`trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/'</tt>
        70ef27
        directly. 
        70ef27

        70ef27

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

        70ef27
        requires translation entries, we need to re-oraganize the current
        70ef27
        directory structure accordingly.
        70ef27

        70ef27
        70ef27

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

        70ef27
        identity entries. For example the following identity entries:
        70ef27

        70ef27
        trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/Modern/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        70ef27
        trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/TreeFlower/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        70ef27
        trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/Mettle/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        70ef27
        70ef27

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

        70ef27
        Anaconda progress translation entry (the one shown in our example
        70ef27
        above). This way, you can create several identity entries and maintain
        70ef27
        just one translation entry for all of them.  Once you change the
        70ef27
        translation files inside the common translation entry, changes inside
        70ef27
        identity entries will take effect inside the next you render them.
        70ef27

        70ef27

        Trying to make things plain and simple: inside CentOS Artwork

        70ef27
        Repository, graphic designers can concentrate their efforts in
        70ef27
        artworks look and feel (the identity entries), and translators in
        70ef27
        artworks translations (the translation entries).
        70ef27

        70ef27
        70ef27
        70ef27

        3.36.2.2 Translation Markers

        70ef27

        70ef27
        70ef27

        70ef27

        Translation markers are used in "Theme Model Designs" and

        70ef27
        "Translation Files" as replacement patterns to commit content
        70ef27
        translation.  When you are rendering content using
        70ef27
        centos-art script inisde <tt>`trunk/Identity'</tt> structure,
        70ef27
        artistic motifs and translation files are applied to model designs to
        70ef27
        produce translated content as result. In order to have the appropriate
        70ef27
        translation in content rendered, markers defintion in translation
        70ef27
        files should match markers in model designs exactly. 
        70ef27

        70ef27

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

        70ef27
        we use the following to represent releases of CentOS distribution:
        70ef27

        70ef27
        70ef27
        <samp>`=MINOR_RELEASE='</samp>
        70ef27

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

        70ef27
        release is represented by the N letter.
        70ef27

        70ef27
        <samp>`=MAJOR_RELEASE='</samp>
        70ef27

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

        70ef27
        the major release is represented by the M letter.
        70ef27

        70ef27
        <samp>`=RELEASE='</samp>
        70ef27

        Replace the full release of CentOS distribution. It is

        70ef27
        <samp>`=MAJOR_RELEASE=.=MINOR_RELEASE='</samp> basically. 
        70ef27

        70ef27
        70ef27
        70ef27

        Specific translation markers convenctions are described inside

        70ef27
        specific translation entries. Read translation entries documentation
        70ef27
        to know more about supported translation markers.
        70ef27

        70ef27

        Translation markers standardization creates a common point of

        70ef27
        reference for translators and graphic designers. To have translation
        70ef27
        markers well defined makes possible that translators and graphic
        70ef27
        designers can work together but independently one another.
        70ef27

        70ef27
        70ef27
        70ef27

        3.36.2.3 Translation Files

        70ef27
        70ef27

        Translation files are text files with sed commands inside,

        70ef27
        replacement commands mainly. As convenction, translation file names
        70ef27
        end in <samp>`.sed'</samp>. Translation files are used by centos-art
        70ef27
        script to produce translated artworks for specific major releases of
        70ef27
        CentOS Distribution. There are common translation files, specific
        70ef27
        translation, and template translation files.
        70ef27

        70ef27

        For example, the Firstboot artwork of CentOS distribution uses the

        70ef27
        images <tt>`splash-small.png'</tt> and <tt>`firstboot-left.png'</tt> as based
        70ef27
        to control its visual style. The <tt>`splash-small.png'</tt> image
        70ef27
        contains, in its graphic design, the release number information of
        70ef27
        CentOS distribution. So the <tt>`splash-small.png'</tt> is
        70ef27
        release-specific. In the other hand, the <tt>`firstboot-left.png'</tt>
        70ef27
        doesn't contain release number information. So the
        70ef27
        <tt>`firstboot-left.png'</tt> is not release-specific.
        70ef27

        70ef27

        If we want to produce Firstboot artwork for different major releases

        70ef27
        of CentOS distribution, using a monolithic visual identity, all
        70ef27
        Firstboot images should have the same visual style and, at the same
        70ef27
        time, the release-specific information in the release-specific images. 
        70ef27

        70ef27
        info

        Note

        The monolithic visual identity is implemented using

        70ef27
        theme models (see section trunk/Identity/Themes/Models) and artistic
        70ef27
        motifs (see section trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs).
        70ef27

        70ef27
        70ef27

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

        70ef27
        the initial translation entry to produce Firstboot artworks would look
        70ef27
        like the following:
        70ef27

        70ef27
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/BootUp/Firstboot/
        70ef27
        |-- Tpl
        70ef27
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        70ef27
        `-- firstboot-left.sed
        70ef27
        70ef27

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

        70ef27
        to produce the image <tt>`firstboot-left.png'</tt> only. To produce
        70ef27
        <tt>`splash-small.png'</tt> images for major releases (e.g., 3, 4, 5, and
        70ef27
        6) of CentOS distribution we need to produce the release-specific
        70ef27
        translation files using the centos-art script as following:
        70ef27

        70ef27
        centos-art render --entry=/home/centos/artwork/trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/BootUp/Firstboot --filter='3,4,5,6'
        70ef27
        70ef27

        The above command produces the following translation entiry:

        70ef27

        70ef27
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/BootUp/Firstboot/
        70ef27
        |-- 3
        70ef27
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        70ef27
        |-- 4
        70ef27
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        70ef27
        |-- 5
        70ef27
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        70ef27
        |-- 6
        70ef27
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        70ef27

        70ef27
        `-- firstboot-left.sed
        70ef27
        70ef27

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

        70ef27
        artwork images for major releases of CentOS distribution. To add new
        70ef27
        release-specific translation files, run the translation rendering
        70ef27
        command with the release number you want to produce translation files
        70ef27
        for in the <samp>`--filter='release-number''</samp> argument.

        3.36.2.4 Template Translation Files

        70ef27
        70ef27

        Template translation files are translation files stored inside

        70ef27
        translation template directory. Template translation files are used by
        70ef27
        centos-art script to produce specific translation files
        70ef27
        only. Template translation files may be empty or contain sed
        70ef27
        replacement commands. If template translation files are empty files,
        70ef27
        the final specifc translation file built from it contains
        70ef27
        release-specific replacement commands only. For example, see the
        70ef27
        following translation entry:
        70ef27

        70ef27
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/BootUp/Firstboot/
        70ef27
        |-- 3
        70ef27
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        70ef27
        |-- 4
        70ef27
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        70ef27
        |-- 5
        70ef27
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        70ef27
        |-- 6
        70ef27
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        70ef27
        |-- Tpl
        70ef27
        |   `-- splash-small.sed    <-- template translation file.
        70ef27
        `-- firstboot-left.sed
        70ef27
        70ef27

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

        70ef27
        translation file and looks like:
        70ef27

        70ef27
        # -------------------------------------
        70ef27
        # $Id: splash-small.sed 94 2010-09-18 10:59:42Z al $
        70ef27
        # -------------------------------------
        70ef27
        70ef27

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

        70ef27
        but when you render it, the centos-art adds the
        70ef27
        release-specific replacement commands. In our Firstboot example, after
        70ef27
        rendering Firstboot translation entry, the <tt>`splash-small.sed'</tt>
        70ef27
        translation file specific to CentOS 5, looks like the following:
        70ef27

        70ef27
        # Warning: Do not modify this file directly. This file is created
        70ef27
        # automatically using 'centos-art' command line interface.  Any change
        70ef27
        # you do in this file will be lost the next time you update
        70ef27
        # translation files using 'centos-art' command line interface. If you
        70ef27
        # want to improve the content of this translation file, improve its
        70ef27
        # template file instead and run the 'centos-art' command line
        70ef27
        # interface later to propagate your changes.
        70ef27
        # -------------------------------------
        70ef27
        # $Id: splash-small.sed 94 2010-09-18 10:59:42Z al $
        70ef27
        # -------------------------------------
        70ef27
        70ef27
        # Release number information.
        70ef27
        s!=RELEASE=!=MAJOR_RELEASE=.=MINOR_RELEASE=!g
        70ef27
        s!=MINOR_RELEASE=!0!g
        70ef27
        s!=MAJOR_RELEASE=!5!g
        70ef27
        70ef27

        If template translation files are not empty, replacement commands

        70ef27
        inside template translation files are preserved inside
        70ef27
        release-specific translation files.  For example, consider the English
        70ef27
        template translation file of Anaconda progress welcome slide.  The
        70ef27
        translation template directory structure looks like the following:
        70ef27

        70ef27
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        70ef27
        `-- Tpl
        70ef27
            `-- en
        70ef27
                `-- 01-welcome.sed
        70ef27
        70ef27

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

        70ef27
        releases, the translation entry would look like the following:
        70ef27

        70ef27
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        70ef27
        |-- 4
        70ef27
        |   `-- en
        70ef27
        |       `-- 01-welcome.sed
        70ef27
        |-- 5
        70ef27
        |   `-- en
        70ef27
        |       `-- 01-welcome.sed
        70ef27
        `-- Tpl
        70ef27
            `-- en
        70ef27
                `-- 01-welcome.sed
        70ef27
        70ef27
        info

        Note

        Release-specific translation directories preserve

        70ef27
        template translation directory structure and file names.
        70ef27

        70ef27
        70ef27

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

        70ef27
        following:
        70ef27

        70ef27
        # ------------------------------------------------------------
        70ef27
        # $Id: 01-welcome.sed 94 2010-09-18 10:59:42Z al $
        70ef27
        # ------------------------------------------------------------

        70ef27
        s/=TEXT2=/CentOS is an enterprise-class Linux Distribution derived from sources freely provided to the public by a prominent North American Enterprise Linux vendor./
        70ef27
        s/=TEXT3=/CentOS conforms fully with the upstream vendors redistribution policy and aims to be 100% binary compatible. CentOS mainly changes packages to remove upstream vendor branding and artwork./

        s!=URL=!http://www.centos.org/!
        70ef27
        70ef27

        and, after render the translation entry, specific translation files

        70ef27
        look like the following:
        70ef27

        70ef27
        # Warning: Do not modify this file directly. This file is created
        70ef27

        # interface later to propagate your changes.
        70ef27
        # ------------------------------------------------------------

        # $Id: 01-welcome.sed 94 2010-09-18 10:59:42Z al $
        70ef27
        # ------------------------------------------------------------
        70ef27
        70ef27
        s/=TITLE=/Welcome to CentOS =MAJOR_RELEASE= !/
        70ef27
        s/=TEXT1=/Thank you for installing CentOS =MAJOR_RELEASE=./

        s/=TEXT3=/CentOS conforms fully with the upstream vendors redistribution policy and aims to be 100% binary compatible. Cent OS mainly changes packages to remove upstream vendor branding and artwork./
        70ef27
        s/=TEXT4=//
        70ef27
        s/=TEXT5=//
        70ef27
        s/=TEXT6=//
        70ef27
        s!=URL=!http://www.centos.org/!
        70ef27
        70ef27
        # Release number information.

        s!=RELEASE=!=MAJOR_RELEASE=.=MINOR_RELEASE=!g
        70ef27
        s!=MINOR_RELEASE=!0!g
        70ef27
        s!=MAJOR_RELEASE=!5!g
        70ef27
        70ef27

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

        70ef27
        followed by a separation character (e.g., <samp>`/'</samp>, <samp>`!'</samp>, etc.).
        70ef27
        These lines have the following format:
        70ef27

        70ef27
        s/REGEXP/REPLACEMENT/FLAGS
        70ef27
        70ef27

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

        70ef27
        character within any given s command.  The <samp>`/'</samp>
        70ef27
        character (or whatever other character is used in its stead) can
        70ef27
        appear in the REGEXP or REPLACEMENT only if it is preceded by a
        70ef27
        <samp>`\'</samp> character.
        70ef27

        70ef27

        The s command is probably the most important in

        70ef27
        sed and has a lot of different options.  Its basic concept
        70ef27
        is simple: the s command attempts to match the pattern space
        70ef27
        against the supplied REGEXP; if the match is successful, then that
        70ef27
        portion of the pattern space which was matched is replaced with
        70ef27
        REPLACEMENT.
        70ef27

        70ef27

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

        70ef27
        define translation markers and REPLACEMENT where you define the
        70ef27
        translation text you want to have after artworks rendering.  Sometimes
        70ef27
        we use the FLAG component with the <samp>`g'</samp> command to apply the
        70ef27
        replacements globally.
        70ef27

        70ef27
        Info

        Tip

        More information about how to use sed

        70ef27
        replacement commands and flags is available in sed
        70ef27
        documentation manual. To read sed documentation manual type
        70ef27
        the following command: 
        70ef27

        info sed
        70ef27
        70ef27
        70ef27

        Inside translation files, you can use translation markers not only

        70ef27
        inside the REGEXP but in the REPLACEMENT too. In order for this
        70ef27
        configuration to work, the REPLACEMENT of translation markers needs to
        70ef27
        be define after its definition. For example, see in the
        70ef27
        release-specific translation file above, how the
        70ef27
        <samp>`s!=MAJOR_RELASE=!5!g'</samp> replacement command is defined
        70ef27
        after <samp>`=MAJOR_RELASE='</samp> translation marker definition in
        70ef27
        the REPLACEMENT of <samp>`=TITLE='</samp> translation marker replacement
        70ef27
        command.
        70ef27

        70ef27
        70ef27

        3.36.2.5 Common Translation Files

        70ef27
        70ef27

        Common translation files contain common translations or no

        70ef27
        translation at all for their related artworks.  They are in the root
        70ef27
        directory of the translation entry. Common translation files create
        70ef27
        common artworks for all major releases of CentOS Distribution. 
        70ef27

        70ef27

        Translation entries, with common translation files inside, look like

        70ef27
        the following:
        70ef27

        70ef27
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/BootUp/Firstboot/
        70ef27
        |-- 3

        |-- 5
        70ef27
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        70ef27
        |-- 6

        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        70ef27
        |-- Tpl
        70ef27
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        70ef27
        `-- firstboot-left.sed      <-- common translation file.
        70ef27
        70ef27
        70ef27
        70ef27

        3.36.2.6 Specific Translation Files

        70ef27
        70ef27

        Specific translation files contain specific translations for their

        70ef27
        related artworks. Specific translation files are not in the root
        70ef27
        directory of the translation entry, but inside directories which
        70ef27
        describe the type of translation they are doing. Specific translation
        70ef27
        files are produced automatically using the centos-art
        70ef27
        script.
        70ef27

        70ef27
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/BootUp/Firstboot/
        70ef27
        |-- 3
        70ef27
        |   `-- splash-small.sed    <-- CentOS 3 specific translation file.
        70ef27
        |-- 4
        70ef27
        |   `-- splash-small.sed    <-- CentOS 4 specific translation file.
        70ef27
        |-- 5
        70ef27
        |   `-- splash-small.sed    <-- CentOS 5 specific translation file.
        70ef27
        |-- 6
        70ef27
        |   `-- splash-small.sed    <-- CentOS 6 specific translation file.
        70ef27
        |-- Tpl
        70ef27
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        70ef27
        `-- firstboot-left.sed
        70ef27
        70ef27
        70ef27
        70ef27

        3.36.2.7 Translation Rendering

        70ef27
        70ef27

        When rendering translations, the centos-art script checks

        70ef27
        the translation entry to verify that it has a translation template
        70ef27
        directory inside. The translation template directory (<tt>`Tpl/'</tt>)
        70ef27
        contains common translation files used to build release-specific
        70ef27
        translation files. If the translation template directory doesn't exist
        70ef27
        inside the translation entry the translation rendering fails. In this
        70ef27
        case the centos-art script outputs a message and quits
        70ef27
        script execution.
        70ef27

        70ef27
        70ef27
        70ef27

        3.36.2.8 Translation (Pre-)Rendering Configuration Scripts

        70ef27
        70ef27

        When the centos-art script finds a translation template

        70ef27
        directory inside translation entry, it looks for translations
        70ef27
        pre-rendering configuration scripts for that translation entry.
        70ef27
        Translation pre-rendering configuration scripts let you extend
        70ef27
        translation default functionality (described below). 
        70ef27

        70ef27

        Translation pre-rendering configuration scripts are stored under

        70ef27
        <tt>`trunk/Scripts'</tt> directory, specifically under the appropriate
        70ef27
        language implementation. If you are using centos-art Bash
        70ef27
        implementation, the translation pre-rendering scripts are store in the
        70ef27
        <tt>`trunk/Scripts/Bash/Config'</tt> location; if you are using
        70ef27
        centos-art Python implementation, then translation
        70ef27
        pre-rendering scripts are stored in the
        70ef27

        Bash translation pre-rendering configuration scripts look like the

        70ef27
        following:
        70ef27

        70ef27
        #!/bin/bash
        70ef27
        #

        70ef27

        Translation pre-rendering scripts are function scripts loaded and

        70ef27
        executed when rendering a translation entry. Translation pre-rendering
        70ef27
        scripts are loaded using the translation entry being rendered as
        70ef27
        reference. For example, suppose you are using the
        70ef27
        centos-art Bash implementation, and you are rendering
        70ef27
        translations for CentOS brands, in this situation the translation
        70ef27
        entry would be:
        70ef27

        70ef27
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Brands
        70ef27
        70ef27

        and the entry inside the translation pre-rendering configuration

        70ef27
        structure would be:
        70ef27

        70ef27
        trunk/Scripts/Bash/Config/Identity/Brands
        70ef27
        70ef27

        Once the centos-art script detects that translation

        70ef27
        pre-rendering configuration directory exists, the centos-art
        70ef27
        script looks for the translation pre-rendering configuration file.  If
        70ef27
        the translation pre-rendering configuration file exists, it is loaded
        70ef27
        and executed.  Once the translation pre-rendering configuration file
        70ef27
        has been executed the translation rendering process is over, and so
        70ef27
        the script execution.
        70ef27

        70ef27
        info

        Note

        Translation pre-rendering configuration files have the

        70ef27
        following form:
        70ef27

        render.conf.extension
        70ef27

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

        70ef27
        you are using. For example, <samp>`sh'</samp> for Bash, <samp>`py'</samp> for Python,
        70ef27
        <samp>`pl'</samp> for Perl, and so on for other implementations.
        70ef27

        70ef27
        70ef27

        As we are using Bash implementation to describe the translation

        70ef27
        pre-rendering configuration example, the translation pre-rendering
        70ef27
        configuration file that centos-art looks for, inside the
        70ef27
        above translation pre-rendering configuration directory, is
        70ef27
        <tt>`render.conf.sh'</tt>.

        3.36.2.9 Translation Rendering Default Functionality

        70ef27
        70ef27

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

        70ef27
        doesn't exist, or it isn't written as function script, the
        70ef27
        centos-art script ignore translation pre-rendering
        70ef27
        configuration functionality and passes to render translation using
        70ef27
        default functionality instead.
        70ef27

        70ef27

        The translation rendering default functionality takes template

        70ef27
        translation directory structure, duplicates it for each release number
        70ef27
        specified in the <samp>`--filter='release-number''</samp> argument and
        70ef27
        produces release-specific directories. As part of template translation
        70ef27
        duplication process take place, the centos-art script adds
        70ef27
        release-specific replacement commands for each specific translation
        70ef27
        file inside release-specific directories. As result, specific
        70ef27
        translation files, inside release-specific directories, contain
        70ef27
        template translation replacement commands plus,
        70ef27
        release-specific replacement commands.
        70ef27

        70ef27
        info

        Note

        Release-specific replacement commands are standardized

        70ef27
        inside centos-art script using predifined release
        70ef27
        translation markers. Release translation markers are described in the
        70ef27
        translation marker section
        70ef27
        (see Translation Markers).

        3.36.3 Usage

        c12cdc
        70ef27
        70ef27
        <samp>`centos-art render --entry='path/to/dir''</samp>
        70ef27
        70ef27

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

        70ef27
        <samp>`trunk/Translations'</samp>, this command orverwrites available
        70ef27
        translation files using translation templates.
        70ef27

        70ef27
        70ef27
        <samp>`centos-art render --entry='path/to/dir' --filter='pattern''</samp>
        70ef27
        70ef27

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

        70ef27
        <tt>`trunk/Translations'</tt>, this command renders release-specific
        70ef27
        translation files as you specify in the <samp>`--filter='pattern''</samp>
        70ef27
        argument. In this case, <samp>`pattern'</samp> not a regular expression but an
        70ef27
        number (e.g., <samp>`5'</samp>) or a list of numbers separated by commas
        70ef27
        (e.g., <samp>`3,4,5,6'</samp>) that specify the major release of CentOS
        70ef27
        distribution you want to render translations for.
