    3.49.2 Description

    6aec21
    3d6160

    When you create artwork for CentOS distribution you find that some

    3d6160
    artworks need to be created for different major releases of CentOS
    3d6160
    distribution and inside each major release they need to be created for
    3d6160
    different locales. To get an approximate idea of how many files we are
    3d6160
    talking about, consider the followig approximate statistic:
    3d6160

    63f275
      3d6160
    • Inside CentOS distribution, there are around 30 images to
    • 3d6160
      rebrand.(2)
      3d6160
      3d6160
    • There are near to four major releases of CentOS distribution to
    • 3d6160
      rebrand in parallel development.(3) 
      3d6160
      3d6160
    • Each CentOS distribution in parallel development supports more
    • 3d6160
      than two hundreds locales.(4)
      63f275
      63f275
      3d6160

      In order to aliviate maintainance of artwork production for such

      3d6160
      environment, we divided artwork production in three production lines:
      3d6160

      3d6160
        3d6160
      1. See section trunk/Identity/Themes/Models, to define artworks
      2. 3d6160
        characteristics (e.g., dimensions, position on the screen, etc.).
        3d6160
      3. See section trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs, to define artworks visual
      4. 3d6160
        styles (e.g., the look and feel).
        3d6160
      5. Translations, to define which major releases and locales
      6. 3d6160
        artworks are produced for. 
        3d6160
        3d6160
        3d6160

        Inside CentOS Artwork Repository, the artworks' translation production

        3d6160
        line is stored under <tt>`trunk/Translations'</tt> directory.
        3d6160

        3d6160

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

        3d6160
        entries" to organize artworks' "translation files" and artworks'
        3d6160
        "translation templates".
        3d6160

        3d6160
        3d6160
        3d6160

        3.49.2.1 Translation Entries

        3d6160
        3d6160

        Translation entries exists for each artwork you want to produce.

        3d6160
        Translation entries can be empty directories, or directories
        3d6160
        containing translation files and translation templates.  
        3d6160

        3d6160

        When translation entries are empty directories, the identity entry is

        3d6160
        used as reference to create file names and directories layout for
        3d6160
        rendered files.  In this case, the centos-art script takes
        3d6160
        one design template and outputs one non-translated file for each
        3d6160
        design template available.  This configuration is mainly used to
        3d6160
        produce non-translatable artworks like themes' backgrounds.
        3d6160

        3d6160

        When translation entries contain translation files, the translation

        3d6160
        entry implements the CentOS release schema and is used as reference to
        3d6160
        create file names and directories layout for translated artworks. In
        3d6160
        this case, the centos-art script applies one translation
        3d6160
        file to one design template to create one translated instance which is
        3d6160
        used to output one translated file. When the translated file is
        3d6160
        rendered, the centos-art script remove the previous instance
        3d6160
        and takes the next file in the list of translation files to repate the
        3d6160
        whole process once again, and so on for all files in the list. This
        3d6160
        configuration is mainly used to produce translatable artworks like
        3d6160
        Anaconda's progress slide images.
        3d6160

        3d6160

        To find out correspondence between translation entries and identity

        3d6160
        entries, you need to look the path of both translation entries and
        3d6160
        identity entries. For example, if you are using the Modern's artisitic
        3d6160
        motif, the identity entry for Anaconda progress artwork is:
        3d6160

        3d6160
        trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/Modern/Distro/Anaconda/Progress
        3d6160
        3d6160

        and its translation entry is:

        3d6160

        3d6160
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/Anaconda/Progress
        3d6160
        3d6160

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

        3d6160
        directory, also how static values (e.g., Identity, Themes, Distro,
        3d6160
        etc.) in the identity's entry path remain in translation's entry path,
        3d6160
        and how variable values like theme names (e.g., Modern) are stript out
        3d6160
        from translation's entry path. The same convenction can be applied to
        3d6160
        other identity entries in order to determine their translation
        3d6160
        entries, or to other translation entries to determine their identity
        3d6160
        entries.
        3d6160

        3d6160
        info

        Note

        Translation entries related to identity entries under

        3d6160
        <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs'</tt> do not use <tt>`Motifs/'</tt> in the
        3d6160
        path.  We've done this because <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Models'</tt>
        3d6160
        structure, the other structure under <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes'</tt>,
        3d6160
        doesn't require translation paths so far. So in the sake of saving
        3d6160
        characters space when building translation entries for
        3d6160
        <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs'</tt> structure, we organize Motifs
        3d6160
        translation entries under <tt>`trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/'</tt>
        3d6160
        directly. 
        3d6160

        3d6160

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

        3d6160
        requires translation entries, we need to re-oraganize the current
        3d6160
        directory structure accordingly.
        3d6160

        3d6160
        3d6160

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

        3d6160
        identity entries. For example the following identity entries:
        3d6160

        3d6160
        trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/Modern/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        3d6160
        trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/TreeFlower/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        3d6160
        trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/Mettle/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        3d6160
        3d6160

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

        3d6160
        Anaconda progress translation entry (the one shown in our example
        3d6160
        above). This way, you can create several identity entries and maintain
        3d6160
        just one translation entry for all of them.  Once you change the
        3d6160
        translation files inside the common translation entry, changes inside
        3d6160
        identity entries will take effect inside the next you render them.
        3d6160

        3d6160

        Trying to make things plain and simple: inside CentOS Artwork

        3d6160
        Repository, graphic designers can concentrate their efforts in
        3d6160
        artworks look and feel (the identity entries), and translators in
        3d6160
        artworks translations (the translation entries).

        3.49.2.2 Translation Markers

        3d6160

        3d6160
        3d6160

        3d6160

        Translation markers are used in "Theme Model Designs" and

        3d6160
        "Translation Files" as replacement patterns to commit content
        3d6160
        translation.  When you are rendering content using
        3d6160
        centos-art script inisde <tt>`trunk/Identity'</tt> structure,
        3d6160
        artistic motifs and translation files are applied to model designs to
        3d6160
        produce translated content as result. In order to have the appropriate
        3d6160
        translation in content rendered, markers defintion in translation
        3d6160
        files should match markers in model designs exactly. 
        3d6160

        3d6160
        3d6160

        3d6160

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

        3d6160
        we use the following to represent releases of CentOS distribution:
        3d6160

        3d6160
        3d6160
        <samp>`=MINOR_RELEASE='</samp>
        3d6160

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

        3d6160
        release is represented by the N letter.
        3d6160

        3d6160
        <samp>`=MAJOR_RELEASE='</samp>
        3d6160

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

        3d6160
        the major release is represented by the M letter.
        3d6160

        3d6160
        <samp>`=RELEASE='</samp>
        3d6160

        Replace the full release of CentOS distribution. It is

        3d6160
        <samp>`=MAJOR_RELEASE=.=MINOR_RELEASE='</samp> basically. 
        3d6160

        3d6160
        3d6160
        3d6160

        Specific translation markers convenctions are described inside

        3d6160
        specific translation entries. Read translation entries documentation
        3d6160
        to know more about supported translation markers.
        3d6160

        3d6160

        Translation markers standardization creates a common point of

        3d6160
        reference for translators and graphic designers. To have translation
        3d6160
        markers well defined makes possible that translators and graphic
        3d6160
        designers can work together but independently one another.
        3d6160

        3d6160
        3d6160
        3d6160

        3.49.2.3 Translation Files

        3d6160
        3d6160

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

        3d6160
        replacement commands mainly. As convenction, translation file names
        3d6160
        end in <samp>`.sed'</samp>. Translation files are used by centos-art
        3d6160
        script to produce translated artworks for specific major releases of
        3d6160
        CentOS Distribution. There are common translation files, specific
        3d6160
        translation, and template translation files.
        3d6160

        3d6160

        For example, the Firstboot artwork of CentOS distribution uses the

        3d6160
        images <tt>`splash-small.png'</tt> and <tt>`firstboot-left.png'</tt> as based
        3d6160
        to control its visual style. The <tt>`splash-small.png'</tt> image
        3d6160
        contains, in its graphic design, the release number information of
        3d6160
        CentOS distribution. So the <tt>`splash-small.png'</tt> is
        3d6160
        release-specific. In the other hand, the <tt>`firstboot-left.png'</tt>
        3d6160
        doesn't contain release number information. So the
        3d6160
        <tt>`firstboot-left.png'</tt> is not release-specific.
        3d6160

        3d6160

        If we want to produce Firstboot artwork for different major releases

        3d6160
        of CentOS distribution, using a monolithic visual identity, all
        3d6160
        Firstboot images should have the same visual style and, at the same
        3d6160
        time, the release-specific information in the release-specific images. 
        3d6160

        3d6160
        info

        Note

        The monolithic visual identity is implemented using

        3d6160
        theme models (see section trunk/Identity/Themes/Models) and artistic
        3d6160
        motifs (see section trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs).
        3d6160

        3d6160
        3d6160

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

        3d6160
        the initial translation entry to produce Firstboot artworks would look
        3d6160
        like the following:
        3d6160

        3d6160
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/BootUp/Firstboot/
        3d6160
        |-- Tpl
        3d6160
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        3d6160
        `-- firstboot-left.sed
        3d6160
        3d6160

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

        3d6160
        to produce the image <tt>`firstboot-left.png'</tt> only. To produce
        3d6160
        <tt>`splash-small.png'</tt> images for major releases (e.g., 3, 4, 5, and
        3d6160
        6) of CentOS distribution we need to produce the release-specific
        3d6160
        translation files using the centos-art script as following:
        3d6160

        3d6160
        centos-art render --entry=/home/centos/artwork/trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/BootUp/Firstboot --filter='3,4,5,6'
        3d6160
        3d6160

        The above command produces the following translation entiry:

        3d6160

        3d6160
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/BootUp/Firstboot/
        3d6160
        |-- 3
        3d6160
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        3d6160
        |-- 4

        `-- firstboot-left.sed
        3d6160
        3d6160

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

        3d6160
        artwork images for major releases of CentOS distribution. To add new
        3d6160
        release-specific translation files, run the translation rendering
        3d6160
        command with the release number you want to produce translation files
        3d6160
        for in the <samp>`--filter='release-number''</samp> argument.

        3.49.2.4 Template Translation Files

        60c152
        3d6160

        Template translation files are translation files stored inside

        3d6160
        translation template directory. Template translation files are used by
        3d6160
        centos-art script to produce specific translation files
        3d6160
        only. Template translation files may be empty or contain
        3d6160
        sed's replacement commands. If template translation files
        3d6160
        are empty files, the final specifc translation file built from it
        3d6160
        contains release-specific replacement commands only. For example,
        3d6160
        see the following translation entry:
        3d6160

        3d6160
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/BootUp/Firstboot/
        3d6160
        |-- 3
        3d6160
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        3d6160
        |-- 4
        3d6160
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        3d6160
        |-- 5
        3d6160
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        3d6160
        |-- 6
        3d6160
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        3d6160
        |-- Tpl
        3d6160
        |   `-- splash-small.sed    <-- template translation file.
        3d6160
        `-- firstboot-left.sed
        3d6160
        3d6160

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

        3d6160
        translation file and looks like:
        3d6160

        3d6160
        # -------------------------------------
        3d6160
        # $Id: splash-small.sed 94 2010-09-18 10:59:42Z al $
        3d6160
        # -------------------------------------
        3d6160
        3d6160

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

        3d6160
        but when you render it, the centos-art adds the
        3d6160
        release-specific replacement commands. In our Firstboot example, after
        3d6160
        rendering Firstboot translation entry, the <tt>`splash-small.sed'</tt>
        3d6160
        translation file specific to CentOS 5, looks like the following:
        3d6160

        3d6160
        # Warning: Do not modify this file directly. This file is created
        3d6160
        # automatically using 'centos-art' command line interface.  Any change
        3d6160
        # you do in this file will be lost the next time you update
        3d6160
        # translation files using 'centos-art' command line interface. If you
        3d6160
        # want to improve the content of this translation file, improve its
        3d6160
        # template file instead and run the 'centos-art' command line
        3d6160
        # interface later to propagate your changes.
        3d6160
        # -------------------------------------
        3d6160
        # $Id: splash-small.sed 94 2010-09-18 10:59:42Z al $
        3d6160
        # -------------------------------------
        3d6160
        3d6160
        # Release number information.
        3d6160
        s!=RELEASE=!=MAJOR_RELEASE=.=MINOR_RELEASE=!g
        3d6160
        s!=MINOR_RELEASE=!0!g
        3d6160
        s!=MAJOR_RELEASE=!5!g
        3d6160
        3d6160

        If template translation files are not empty, replacement commands

        3d6160
        inside template translation files are preserved inside
        3d6160
        release-specific translation files.  For example, consider the English
        3d6160
        template translation file of Anaconda progress welcome slide.  The
        3d6160
        translation template directory structure looks like the following:
        3d6160

        3d6160
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        3d6160
        `-- Tpl
        3d6160
            `-- en
        3d6160
                `-- 01-welcome.sed
        3d6160
        3d6160

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

        3d6160
        releases, the translation entry would look like the following:
        3d6160

        3d6160
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        3d6160
        |-- 4
        3d6160
        |   `-- en
        3d6160
        |       `-- 01-welcome.sed
        3d6160
        |-- 5
        3d6160
        |   `-- en
        3d6160
        |       `-- 01-welcome.sed

        3d6160
            `-- en
        3d6160
                `-- 01-welcome.sed
        3d6160
        3d6160
        info

        Note

        Release-specific translation directories preserve

        3d6160
        template translation directory structure and file names.
        3d6160

        3d6160
        3d6160

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

        3d6160
        following:
        3d6160

        3d6160
        # ------------------------------------------------------------

        and, after render the translation entry, specific translation files

        3d6160
        look like the following:
        3d6160

        3d6160
        3d6160

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

        3d6160
        followed by a separation character (e.g., <samp>`/'</samp>, <samp>`!'</samp>, etc.).
        3d6160
        These lines have the following format:
        3d6160

        3d6160
        s/REGEXP/REPLACEMENT/FLAGS
        3d6160
        3d6160

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

        3d6160
        character within any given s command.  The <samp>`/'</samp>
        3d6160
        character (or whatever other character is used in its stead) can
        3d6160
        appear in the REGEXP or REPLACEMENT only if it is preceded by a
        3d6160
        <samp>`\'</samp> character.
        3d6160

        3d6160

        The s command is probably the most important in

        3d6160
        sed and has a lot of different options.  Its basic concept
        3d6160
        is simple: the s command attempts to match the pattern space
        3d6160
        against the supplied REGEXP; if the match is successful, then that
        3d6160
        portion of the pattern space which was matched is replaced with
        3d6160
        REPLACEMENT.
        3d6160

        3d6160

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

        3d6160
        define translation markers and REPLACEMENT where you define the
        3d6160
        translation text you want to have after artworks rendering.  Sometimes
        3d6160
        we use the FLAG component with the <samp>`g'</samp> command to apply the
        3d6160
        replacements globally.
        3d6160

        3d6160
        Info

        Tip

        More information about how to use sed's

        3d6160
        replacement commands and flags is available in sed's
        3d6160
        documentation manual. To read sed's documentation manual type the
        3d6160
        following command: 
        3d6160

        info sed
        3d6160
        60c152
        3d6160

        Inside translation files, you can use translation markers not only

        3d6160
        inside the REGEXP but in the REPLACEMENT too. In order for this
        3d6160
        configuration to work, the REPLACEMENT of translation markers needs to
        3d6160
        be define after its definition. For example, see in the
        3d6160
        release-specific translation file above, how the
        3d6160
        <samp>`s!=MAJOR_RELASE=!5!g'</samp> replacement command is defined
        3d6160
        after <samp>`=MAJOR_RELASE='</samp> translation marker definition in
        3d6160
        the REPLACEMENT of <samp>`=TITLE='</samp> translation marker replacement
        3d6160
        command.

        3.49.2.5 Common Translation Files

        3d6160
        3d6160

        Common translation files contain common translations or no

        3d6160
        translation at all for their related artworks.  They are in the root
        3d6160
        directory of the translation entry. Common translation files create
        3d6160
        common artworks for all major releases of CentOS Distribution. 
        3d6160

        3d6160

        Translation entries, with common translation files inside, look like

        3d6160
        the following:

        3.49.2.6 Specific Translation Files

        3d6160
        3d6160

        Specific translation files contain specific translations for their

        3d6160
        related artworks. Specific translation files are not in the root
        3d6160
        directory of the translation entry, but inside directories which
        3d6160
        describe the type of translation they are doing. Specific translation
        3d6160
        files are produced automatically using the centos-art
        3d6160
        script.

        3.49.2.7 Translation Rendering

        3d6160
        3d6160

        When rendering translations, the centos-art script checks

        3d6160
        the translation entry to verify that it has a translation template
        3d6160
        directory inside. The translation template directory (<tt>`Tpl/'</tt>)
        3d6160
        contains common translation files used to build release-specific
        3d6160
        translation files. If the translation template directory doesn't exist
        3d6160
        inside the translation entry the translation rendering fails. In this
        3d6160
        case the centos-art script outputs a message and quits
        3d6160
        script execution.

        3.49.2.8 Translation (Pre-)Rendering Configuration Scripts

        3d6160
        3d6160

        When the centos-art script finds a translation template

        3d6160
        directory inside translation entry, it looks for translations
        3d6160
        pre-rendering configuration scripts for that translation entry.
        3d6160
        Translation pre-rendering configuration scripts let you extend
        3d6160
        translation's default functionality (described below). 
        3d6160

        3d6160

        Translation pre-rendering configuration scripts are stored under

        3d6160
        <tt>`trunk/Scripts'</tt> directory, specifically under the appropriate
        3d6160
        language implementation. If you are using centos-art Bash's
        3d6160
        implementation, the translation pre-rendering scripts are store in the
        3d6160
        <tt>`trunk/Scripts/Bash/Config'</tt> location; if you are using
        3d6160
        centos-art Python's implementation, then translation
        3d6160
        pre-rendering scripts are stored in the
        3d6160
        <tt>`trunk/Scripts/Python/Config'</tt> location, and so on for other
        3d6160
        implementations.
        3d6160

        3d6160

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

        3d6160
        following:
        3d6160

        3d6160
        #!/bin/bash
        3d6160
        #
        3d6160
        # render_loadConfig.sh -- brief description here.

        Translation pre-rendering scripts are function scripts loaded and

        3d6160
        executed when rendering a translation entry. Translation pre-rendering
        3d6160
        scripts are loaded using the translation entry being rendered as
        3d6160
        reference. For example, suppose you are using the
        3d6160
        centos-art Bash's implementation, and you are rendering
        3d6160
        translations for CentOS brands, in this situation the translation
        3d6160
        entry would be:
        3d6160

        3d6160
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Brands
        3d6160
        3d6160

        and the entry inside the translation pre-rendering configuration

        3d6160
        structure would be:
        3d6160

        3d6160
        trunk/Scripts/Bash/Config/Identity/Brands
        3d6160
        3d6160

        Once the centos-art script detects that translation

        3d6160
        pre-rendering configuration directory exists, the centos-art
        3d6160
        script looks for the translation pre-rendering configuration file.  If
        3d6160
        the translation pre-rendering configuration file exists, it is loaded
        3d6160
        and executed.  Once the translation pre-rendering configuration file
        3d6160
        has been executed the translation rendering process is over, and so
        3d6160
        the script execution.
        3d6160

        3d6160
        info

        Note

        Translation pre-rendering configuration files have the

        3d6160
        following form:
        3d6160

        render.conf.extension
        3d6160

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

        3d6160
        you are using. For example, <samp>`sh'</samp> for Bash's, <samp>`py'</samp> for
        3d6160
        Python's, <samp>`pl'</samp> for Perl's, and so on for other implementations.
        3d6160

        3d6160
        3d6160

        As we are using Bash implementation to describe the translation

        3d6160
        pre-rendering configuration example, the translation pre-rendering
        3d6160
        configuration file that centos-art looks for, inside the
        3d6160
        above translation pre-rendering configuration directory, is
        3d6160
        <tt>`render.conf.sh'</tt>.

        3.49.2.9 Translation Rendering Default Functionality

        3d6160
        3d6160

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

        3d6160
        doesn't exist, or it isn't written as function script, the
        3d6160
        centos-art script ignore translation pre-rendering
        3d6160
        configuration functionality and passes to render translation using
        3d6160
        default functionality instead.
        3d6160

        3d6160

        The translation rendering default functionality takes template

        3d6160
        translation directory structure, duplicates it for each release number
        3d6160
        specified in the <samp>`--filter='release-number''</samp> argument and
        3d6160
        produces release-specific directories. As part of template translation
        3d6160
        duplication process take place, the centos-art script adds
        3d6160
        release-specific replacement commands to each specific translation
        3d6160
        file inside release-specific directories. As result, specific
        3d6160
        translation files, inside release-specific directories, contain
        3d6160
        template translation replacement commands plus,
        3d6160
        release-specific replacement commands.
        3d6160

        3d6160
        info

        Note

        Release-specific replacement commands are standardized

        3d6160
        inside centos-art script using predifined release
        3d6160
        translation markers. Release translation markers are described in the
        3d6160
        translation marker section
        3d6160
        (see Translation Markers).

        3.49.3 Usage

        3d6160
        3d6160
        3d6160
        <samp>`centos-art render --entry='path/to/dir''</samp>
        3d6160
        3d6160

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

        3d6160
        <samp>`trunk/Translations'</samp>, this command orverwrites available
        3d6160
        translation files using translation templates.
        3d6160

        3d6160
        3d6160
        <samp>`centos-art render --entry='path/to/dir' --filter='pattern''</samp>
        3d6160
        3d6160

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

        3d6160
        <tt>`trunk/Translations'</tt>, this command renders release-specific
        3d6160
        translation files as you specify in the <samp>`--filter='pattern''</samp>
        3d6160
        argument. In this case, <samp>`pattern'</samp> not a regular expression but an
        3d6160
        number (e.g., <samp>`5'</samp>) or a list of numbers separated by commas
        3d6160
        (e.g., <samp>`3,4,5,6'</samp>) that specify the major release of CentOS
        3d6160
        distribution you want to render translations for.
