    3.48.2 Description

    081970
    2c8180

    When you create artwork for CentOS distribution you find that some

    2c8180
    artworks need to be created for different major releases of CentOS
    2c8180
    distribution and inside each major release they need to be created for
    2c8180
    different locales. To get an approximate idea of how many files we are
    2c8180
    talking about, consider the followig approximate statistic:
    2c8180

    2c8180
      2c8180
    • Inside CentOS distribution, there are around 30 images to
    • 2c8180
      rebrand.(2)
      2c8180
      2c8180
    • There are near to four major releases of CentOS distribution to
    • 2c8180
      rebrand in parallel development.(3) 
      2c8180
      2c8180
    • Each CentOS distribution in parallel development supports more
    • 2c8180
      than two hundreds locales.(4)
      2c8180
      2c8180
      2c8180

      In order to aliviate maintainance of artwork production for such

      2c8180
      environment, we divided artwork production in three production lines:
      2c8180

      2c8180
        2c8180
      1. See section trunk/Identity/Themes/Models, to define artworks
      2. 2c8180
        characteristics (e.g., dimensions, position on the screen, etc.).
        2c8180
      3. See section trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs, to define artworks visual
      4. 2c8180
        styles (e.g., the look and feel).
        2c8180
      5. Translations, to define which major releases and locales
      6. 2c8180
        artworks are produced for. 
        2c8180
        2c8180
        2c8180

        Inside CentOS Artwork Repository, the artworks' translation production

        2c8180
        line is stored under <tt>`trunk/Translations'</tt> directory.
        2c8180

        2c8180

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

        2c8180
        entries" to organize artworks' "translation files" and artworks'
        2c8180
        "translation templates".
        2c8180

        b8013f

        3.48.2.1 Translation Entries

        12494b
        2c8180

        Translation entries exists for each artwork you want to produce.

        2c8180
        Translation entries can be empty directories, or directories
        2c8180
        containing translation files and translation templates.  
        2c8180

        2c8180

        When translation entries are empty directories, the identity entry is

        2c8180
        used as reference to create file names and directories layout for
        2c8180
        rendered files.  In this case, the centos-art script takes
        2c8180
        one design template and outputs one non-translated file for each
        2c8180
        design template available.  This configuration is mainly used to
        2c8180
        produce non-translatable artworks like themes' backgrounds.
        2c8180

        2c8180

        When translation entries contain translation files, the translation

        2c8180
        entry implements the CentOS release schema and is used as reference to
        2c8180
        create file names and directories layout for translated artworks. In
        2c8180
        this case, the centos-art script applies one translation
        2c8180
        file to one design template to create one translated instance which is
        2c8180
        used to output one translated file. When the translated file is
        2c8180
        rendered, the centos-art script remove the previous instance
        2c8180
        and takes the next file in the list of translation files to repate the
        2c8180
        whole process once again, and so on for all files in the list. This
        2c8180
        configuration is mainly used to produce translatable artworks like
        2c8180
        Anaconda's progress slide images.
        2c8180

        2c8180

        To find out correspondence between translation entries and identity

        2c8180
        entries, you need to look the path of both translation entries and
        2c8180
        identity entries. For example, if you are using the Modern's artisitic
        2c8180
        motif, the identity entry for Anaconda progress artwork is:
        2c8180

        2c8180
        trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/Modern/Distro/Anaconda/Progress
        2c8180
        2c8180

        and its translation entry is:

        2c8180

        2c8180
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/Anaconda/Progress
        2c8180
        2c8180

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

        2c8180
        directory, also how static values (e.g., Identity, Themes, Distro,
        2c8180
        etc.) in the identity's entry path remain in translation's entry path,
        2c8180
        and how variable values like theme names (e.g., Modern) are stript out
        2c8180
        from translation's entry path. The same convenction can be applied to
        2c8180
        other identity entries in order to determine their translation
        2c8180
        entries, or to other translation entries to determine their identity
        2c8180
        entries.
        2c8180

        2c8180
        info

        Note

        Translation entries related to identity entries under

        2c8180
        <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs'</tt> do not use <tt>`Motifs/'</tt> in the
        2c8180
        path.  We've done this because <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Models'</tt>
        2c8180
        structure, the other structure under <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes'</tt>,
        2c8180
        doesn't require translation paths so far. So in the sake of saving
        2c8180
        characters space when building translation entries for
        2c8180
        <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs'</tt> structure, we organize Motifs
        2c8180
        translation entries under <tt>`trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/'</tt>
        2c8180
        directly. 
        2c8180

        2c8180

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

        2c8180
        requires translation entries, we need to re-oraganize the current
        2c8180
        directory structure accordingly.
        2c8180

        2c8180
        2c8180

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

        2c8180
        identity entries. For example the following identity entries:
        2c8180

        2c8180
        trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/Modern/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        2c8180
        trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/TreeFlower/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        2c8180
        trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/Mettle/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        2c8180
        2c8180

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

        2c8180
        Anaconda progress translation entry (the one shown in our example
        2c8180
        above). This way, you can create several identity entries and maintain
        2c8180
        just one translation entry for all of them.  Once you change the
        2c8180
        translation files inside the common translation entry, changes inside
        2c8180
        identity entries will take effect inside the next you render them.
        2c8180

        2c8180

        Trying to make things plain and simple: inside CentOS Artwork

        2c8180
        Repository, graphic designers can concentrate their efforts in
        2c8180
        artworks look and feel (the identity entries), and translators in
        2c8180
        artworks translations (the translation entries).

        915635
        2c8180

        2c8180

        Translation markers are used in "Theme Model Designs" and

        2c8180
        "Translation Files" as replacement patterns to commit content
        2c8180
        translation.  When you are rendering content using
        2c8180
        centos-art script inisde <tt>`trunk/Identity'</tt> structure,
        2c8180
        artistic motifs and translation files are applied to model designs to
        2c8180
        produce translated content as result. In order to have the appropriate
        2c8180
        translation in content rendered, markers defintion in translation
        2c8180
        files should match markers in model designs exactly.

        2c8180

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

        2c8180
        we use the following to represent releases of CentOS distribution:
        2c8180

        2c8180
        2c8180
        <samp>`=MINOR_RELEASE='</samp>
        2c8180

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

        2c8180
        release is represented by the N letter.
        2c8180

        2c8180
        <samp>`=MAJOR_RELEASE='</samp>
        2c8180

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

        2c8180
        the major release is represented by the M letter.
        2c8180

        2c8180
        <samp>`=RELEASE='</samp>
        2c8180

        Replace the full release of CentOS distribution. It is

        2c8180
        <samp>`=MAJOR_RELEASE=.=MINOR_RELEASE='</samp> basically. 
        2c8180

        2c8180
        2c8180
        2c8180

        Specific translation markers convenctions are described inside

        2c8180
        specific translation entries. Read translation entries documentation
        2c8180
        to know more about supported translation markers.
        2c8180

        2c8180

        Translation markers standardization creates a common point of

        2c8180
        reference for translators and graphic designers. To have translation
        2c8180
        markers well defined makes possible that translators and graphic
        2c8180
        designers can work together but independently one another.
        2c8180

        3.48.2.3 Translation Files

        2c8180
        2c8180

        Translation files are text files with sed's commands inside,

        2c8180
        replacement commands mainly. As convenction, translation file names
        2c8180
        end in <samp>`.sed'</samp>. Translation files are used by centos-art
        2c8180
        script to produce translated artworks for specific major releases of
        2c8180
        CentOS Distribution. There are common translation files, specific
        2c8180
        translation, and template translation files.
        2c8180

        2c8180

        For example, the Firstboot artwork of CentOS distribution uses the

        2c8180
        images <tt>`splash-small.png'</tt> and <tt>`firstboot-left.png'</tt> as based
        2c8180
        to control its visual style. The <tt>`splash-small.png'</tt> image
        2c8180
        contains, in its graphic design, the release number information of
        2c8180
        CentOS distribution. So the <tt>`splash-small.png'</tt> is
        2c8180
        release-specific. In the other hand, the <tt>`firstboot-left.png'</tt>
        2c8180
        doesn't contain release number information. So the
        2c8180
        <tt>`firstboot-left.png'</tt> is not release-specific.
        2c8180

        2c8180

        If we want to produce Firstboot artwork for different major releases

        2c8180
        of CentOS distribution, using a monolithic visual identity, all
        2c8180
        Firstboot images should have the same visual style and, at the same
        2c8180
        time, the release-specific information in the release-specific images. 
        2c8180

        2c8180
        info

        Note

        The monolithic visual identity is implemented using

        2c8180
        theme models (see section trunk/Identity/Themes/Models) and artistic
        2c8180
        motifs (see section trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs).
        2c8180

        2c8180
        2c8180

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

        2c8180
        the initial translation entry to produce Firstboot artworks would look
        2c8180
        like the following:
        2c8180

        2c8180
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/BootUp/Firstboot/
        2c8180
        |-- Tpl
        2c8180
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        2c8180
        `-- firstboot-left.sed
        2c8180
        2c8180

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

        2c8180
        to produce the image <tt>`firstboot-left.png'</tt> only. To produce
        2c8180
        <tt>`splash-small.png'</tt> images for major releases (e.g., 3, 4, 5, and
        2c8180
        6) of CentOS distribution we need to produce the release-specific
        2c8180
        translation files using the centos-art script as following:
        2c8180

        2c8180
        centos-art render --entry=/home/centos/artwork/trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/BootUp/Firstboot --filter='3,4,5,6'
        2c8180
        2c8180

        The above command produces the following translation entiry:

        2c8180

        2c8180
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/BootUp/Firstboot/

        `-- firstboot-left.sed
        2c8180
        2c8180

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

        2c8180
        artwork images for major releases of CentOS distribution. To add new
        2c8180
        release-specific translation files, run the translation rendering
        2c8180
        command with the release number you want to produce translation files
        2c8180
        for in the <samp>`--filter='release-number''</samp> argument.

        3.48.2.4 Template Translation Files

        2c8180
        2c8180

        Template translation files are translation files stored inside

        2c8180
        translation template directory. Template translation files are used by
        2c8180
        centos-art script to produce specific translation files
        2c8180
        only. Template translation files may be empty or contain
        2c8180
        sed's replacement commands. If template translation files
        2c8180
        are empty files, the final specifc translation file built from it
        2c8180
        contains release-specific replacement commands only. For example,
        2c8180
        see the following translation entry:
        2c8180

        2c8180
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/BootUp/Firstboot/
        2c8180
        |-- 3
        2c8180
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        2c8180
        |-- 4
        2c8180
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        2c8180
        |-- 5
        2c8180
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        2c8180
        |-- 6
        2c8180
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        2c8180
        |-- Tpl
        2c8180
        |   `-- splash-small.sed    <-- template translation file.
        2c8180
        `-- firstboot-left.sed
        2c8180
        2c8180

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

        2c8180
        translation file and looks like:
        2c8180

        2c8180
        # -------------------------------------
        2c8180
        # $Id: splash-small.sed 94 2010-09-18 10:59:42Z al $
        2c8180
        # -------------------------------------
        2c8180
        2c8180

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

        2c8180
        but when you render it, the centos-art adds the
        2c8180
        release-specific replacement commands. In our Firstboot example, after
        2c8180
        rendering Firstboot translation entry, the <tt>`splash-small.sed'</tt>
        2c8180
        translation file specific to CentOS 5, looks like the following:
        2c8180

        2c8180
        # Warning: Do not modify this file directly. This file is created
        2c8180
        # automatically using 'centos-art' command line interface.  Any change
        2c8180
        # you do in this file will be lost the next time you update
        2c8180
        # translation files using 'centos-art' command line interface. If you
        2c8180
        # want to improve the content of this translation file, improve its
        2c8180
        # template file instead and run the 'centos-art' command line
        2c8180
        # interface later to propagate your changes.
        2c8180
        # -------------------------------------
        2c8180
        # $Id: splash-small.sed 94 2010-09-18 10:59:42Z al $
        2c8180
        # -------------------------------------
        2c8180
        2c8180
        # Release number information.
        2c8180
        s!=RELEASE=!=MAJOR_RELEASE=.=MINOR_RELEASE=!g
        2c8180
        s!=MINOR_RELEASE=!0!g
        2c8180
        s!=MAJOR_RELEASE=!5!g
        2c8180
        2c8180

        If template translation files are not empty, replacement commands

        2c8180
        inside template translation files are preserved inside
        2c8180
        release-specific translation files.  For example, consider the English
        2c8180
        template translation file of Anaconda progress welcome slide.  The
        2c8180
        translation template directory structure looks like the following:
        2c8180

        2c8180
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        2c8180
        `-- Tpl
        2c8180
            `-- en
        2c8180
                `-- 01-welcome.sed
        2c8180
        2c8180

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

        2c8180
        releases, the translation entry would look like the following:
        2c8180

        2c8180
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        2c8180
        |-- 4
        2c8180
        |   `-- en
        2c8180
        |       `-- 01-welcome.sed
        2c8180
        |-- 5
        2c8180
        |   `-- en
        2c8180
        |       `-- 01-welcome.sed
        2c8180
        `-- Tpl
        2c8180
            `-- en
        2c8180
                `-- 01-welcome.sed
        2c8180
        2c8180
        info

        Note

        Release-specific translation directories preserve

        2c8180
        template translation directory structure and file names.
        2c8180

        2c8180
        2c8180

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

        2c8180
        following:
        2c8180

        2c8180
        # ------------------------------------------------------------
        2c8180
        # $Id: 01-welcome.sed 94 2010-09-18 10:59:42Z al $

        s!=URL=!http://www.centos.org/!
        2c8180
        2c8180

        and, after render the translation entry, specific translation files

        2c8180
        look like the following:
        2c8180

        2c8180
        # Warning: Do not modify this file directly. This file is created
        2c8180

        s!=MAJOR_RELEASE=!5!g
        2c8180
        2c8180

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

        2c8180
        followed by a separation character (e.g., <samp>`/'</samp>, <samp>`!'</samp>, etc.).
        2c8180
        These lines have the following format:
        2c8180

        2c8180
        s/REGEXP/REPLACEMENT/FLAGS
        2c8180
        2c8180

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

        2c8180
        character within any given s command.  The <samp>`/'</samp>
        2c8180
        character (or whatever other character is used in its stead) can
        2c8180
        appear in the REGEXP or REPLACEMENT only if it is preceded by a
        2c8180
        <samp>`\'</samp> character.
        2c8180

        2c8180

        The s command is probably the most important in

        2c8180
        sed and has a lot of different options.  Its basic concept
        2c8180
        is simple: the s command attempts to match the pattern space
        2c8180
        against the supplied REGEXP; if the match is successful, then that
        2c8180
        portion of the pattern space which was matched is replaced with
        2c8180
        REPLACEMENT.
        2c8180

        2c8180

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

        2c8180
        define translation markers and REPLACEMENT where you define the
        2c8180
        translation text you want to have after artworks rendering.  Sometimes
        2c8180
        we use the FLAG component with the <samp>`g'</samp> command to apply the
        2c8180
        replacements globally.
        2c8180

        2c8180
        Info

        Tip

        More information about how to use sed's

        2c8180
        replacement commands and flags is available in sed's
        2c8180
        documentation manual. To read sed's documentation manual type the
        2c8180
        following command: 
        2c8180

        info sed
        2c8180
        2c8180
        2c8180

        Inside translation files, you can use translation markers not only

        2c8180
        inside the REGEXP but in the REPLACEMENT too. In order for this
        2c8180
        configuration to work, the REPLACEMENT of translation markers needs to
        2c8180
        be define after its definition. For example, see in the
        2c8180
        release-specific translation file above, how the
        2c8180
        <samp>`s!=MAJOR_RELASE=!5!g'</samp> replacement command is defined
        2c8180
        after <samp>`=MAJOR_RELASE='</samp> translation marker definition in
        2c8180
        the REPLACEMENT of <samp>`=TITLE='</samp> translation marker replacement
        2c8180
        command.

        3.48.2.5 Common Translation Files

        2c8180
        2c8180

        Common translation files contain common translations or no

        2c8180
        translation at all for their related artworks.  They are in the root
        2c8180
        directory of the translation entry. Common translation files create
        2c8180
        common artworks for all major releases of CentOS Distribution. 
        2c8180

        2c8180

        Translation entries, with common translation files inside, look like

        2c8180
        the following:
        2c8180

        2c8180

        3.48.2.6 Specific Translation Files

        2c8180
        2c8180

        Specific translation files contain specific translations for their

        2c8180
        related artworks. Specific translation files are not in the root
        2c8180
        directory of the translation entry, but inside directories which
        2c8180
        describe the type of translation they are doing. Specific translation
        2c8180
        files are produced automatically using the centos-art
        2c8180
        script.

        3.48.2.7 Translation Rendering

        2c8180
        2c8180

        When rendering translations, the centos-art script checks

        2c8180
        the translation entry to verify that it has a translation template
        2c8180
        directory inside. The translation template directory (<tt>`Tpl/'</tt>)
        2c8180
        contains common translation files used to build release-specific
        2c8180
        translation files. If the translation template directory doesn't exist
        2c8180
        inside the translation entry the translation rendering fails. In this
        2c8180
        case the centos-art script outputs a message and quits
        2c8180
        script execution.

        3.48.2.8 Translation (Pre-)Rendering Configuration Scripts

        2c8180
        2c8180

        When the centos-art script finds a translation template

        2c8180
        directory inside translation entry, it looks for translations
        2c8180
        pre-rendering configuration scripts for that translation entry.
        2c8180
        Translation pre-rendering configuration scripts let you extend
        2c8180
        translation's default functionality (described below). 
        2c8180

        2c8180

        Translation pre-rendering configuration scripts are stored under

        2c8180
        <tt>`trunk/Scripts'</tt> directory, specifically under the appropriate
        2c8180
        language implementation. If you are using centos-art Bash's
        2c8180
        implementation, the translation pre-rendering scripts are store in the
        2c8180
        <tt>`trunk/Scripts/Bash/Config'</tt> location; if you are using
        2c8180
        centos-art Python's implementation, then translation
        2c8180
        pre-rendering scripts are stored in the
        2c8180
        <tt>`trunk/Scripts/Python/Config'</tt> location, and so on for other
        2c8180
        implementations.
        2c8180

        2c8180

        Bash's translation pre-rendering configuration scripts look like the

        2c8180
        following:
        2c8180

        2c8180
        #!/bin/bash
        2c8180
        #
        2c8180
        # render_loadConfig.sh -- brief description here.

        function render_loadConfig {
        2c8180
        ...

        2c8180
        2c8180

        Translation pre-rendering scripts are function scripts loaded and

        2c8180
        executed when rendering a translation entry. Translation pre-rendering
        2c8180
        scripts are loaded using the translation entry being rendered as
        2c8180
        reference. For example, suppose you are using the
        2c8180
        centos-art Bash's implementation, and you are rendering
        2c8180
        translations for CentOS brands, in this situation the translation
        2c8180
        entry would be:
        2c8180

        2c8180
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Brands
        2c8180
        2c8180

        and the entry inside the translation pre-rendering configuration

        2c8180
        structure would be:
        2c8180

        2c8180
        trunk/Scripts/Bash/Config/Identity/Brands
        2c8180
        2c8180

        Once the centos-art script detects that translation

        2c8180
        pre-rendering configuration directory exists, the centos-art
        2c8180
        script looks for the translation pre-rendering configuration file.  If
        2c8180
        the translation pre-rendering configuration file exists, it is loaded
        2c8180
        and executed.  Once the translation pre-rendering configuration file
        2c8180
        has been executed the translation rendering process is over, and so
        2c8180
        the script execution.
        2c8180

        2c8180
        info

        Note

        Translation pre-rendering configuration files have the

        2c8180
        following form:
        2c8180

        render.conf.extension
        2c8180

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

        2c8180
        you are using. For example, <samp>`sh'</samp> for Bash's, <samp>`py'</samp> for
        2c8180
        Python's, <samp>`pl'</samp> for Perl's, and so on for other implementations.
        2c8180

        2c8180
        2c8180

        As we are using Bash implementation to describe the translation

        2c8180
        pre-rendering configuration example, the translation pre-rendering
        2c8180
        configuration file that centos-art looks for, inside the
        2c8180
        above translation pre-rendering configuration directory, is
        2c8180
        <tt>`render.conf.sh'</tt>.

        3.48.2.9 Translation Rendering Default Functionality

        2c8180
        2c8180

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

        2c8180
        doesn't exist, or it isn't written as function script, the
        2c8180
        centos-art script ignore translation pre-rendering
        2c8180
        configuration functionality and passes to render translation using
        2c8180
        default functionality instead.
        2c8180

        2c8180

        The translation rendering default functionality takes template

        2c8180
        translation directory structure, duplicates it for each release number
        2c8180
        specified in the <samp>`--filter='release-number''</samp> argument and
        2c8180
        produces release-specific directories. As part of template translation
        2c8180
        duplication process take place, the centos-art script adds
        2c8180
        release-specific replacement commands to each specific translation
        2c8180
        file inside release-specific directories. As result, specific
        2c8180
        translation files, inside release-specific directories, contain
        2c8180
        template translation replacement commands plus,
        2c8180
        release-specific replacement commands.
        2c8180

        2c8180
        info

        Note

        Release-specific replacement commands are standardized

        2c8180
        inside centos-art script using predifined release
        2c8180
        translation markers. Release translation markers are described in the
        2c8180
        translation marker section
        2c8180
        (see Translation Markers).

        3.48.3 Usage

        2c8180
        2c8180
        2c8180
        <samp>`centos-art render 'path/to/dir''</samp>
        2c8180
        2c8180

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

        2c8180
        <samp>`trunk/Translations'</samp>, this command orverwrites available
        2c8180
        translation files using translation templates.
        2c8180

        2c8180
        2c8180
        <samp>`centos-art render 'path/to/dir' --filter='pattern''</samp>
        2c8180
        2c8180

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

        2c8180
        <tt>`trunk/Translations'</tt>, this command renders release-specific
        2c8180
        translation files as you specify in the <samp>`--filter='pattern''</samp>
        2c8180
        argument. In this case, <samp>`pattern'</samp> not a regular expression but an
        2c8180
        number (e.g., <samp>`5'</samp>) or a list of numbers separated by commas
        2c8180
        (e.g., <samp>`3,4,5,6'</samp>) that specify the major release of CentOS
        2c8180
        distribution you want to render translations for.
