The <tt>`trunk/Translations'</tt> directory exists to:

035049

    035049
  • Organize translation files.
  • 035049

    3.50.2 Description

    55c2ff
    035049

    When you create artwork for CentOS distribution you find that some

    035049
    artworks need to be created for different major releases of CentOS
    035049
    distribution and inside each major release they need to be created for
    035049
    different locales. To get an approximate idea of how many files we are
    035049
    talking about, consider the followig approximate statistic:
    035049

    63f275
      035049
    • Inside CentOS distribution, there are around 30 images to
    • 035049
      rebrand.(2)
      035049
      035049
    • There are near to four major releases of CentOS distribution to
    • 035049
      rebrand in parallel development.(3) 
      035049
      035049
    • Each CentOS distribution in parallel development supports more
    • 035049
      than two hundreds locales.(4)
      63f275
      63f275
      035049

      In order to aliviate maintainance of artwork production for such

      035049
      environment, we divided artwork production in three production lines:
      035049

      035049
        035049
      1. See section trunk/Identity/Themes/Models, to define artworks
      2. 035049
        characteristics (e.g., dimensions, position on the screen, etc.).
        035049
      3. See section trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs, to define artworks visual
      4. 035049
        styles (e.g., the look and feel).
        035049
      5. Translations, to define which major releases and locales
      6. 035049
        artworks are produced for. 
        035049
        035049
        035049

        Inside CentOS Artwork Repository, the artworks' translation production

        035049
        line is stored under <tt>`trunk/Translations'</tt> directory.
        035049

        035049

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

        035049
        entries" to organize artworks' "translation files" and artworks'
        035049
        "translation templates".
        035049

        035049
        035049
        035049

        3.50.2.1 Translation Entries

        035049
        035049

        Translation entries exists for each artwork you want to produce.

        035049
        Translation entries can be empty directories, or directories
        035049
        containing translation files and translation templates.  
        035049

        035049

        When translation entries are empty directories, the identity entry is

        035049
        used as reference to create file names and directories layout for
        035049
        rendered files.  In this case, the centos-art script takes
        035049
        one design template and outputs one non-translated file for each
        035049
        design template available.  This configuration is mainly used to
        035049
        produce non-translatable artworks like themes' backgrounds.
        035049

        035049

        When translation entries contain translation files, the translation

        035049
        entry implements the CentOS release schema and is used as reference to
        035049
        create file names and directories layout for translated artworks. In
        035049
        this case, the centos-art script applies one translation
        035049
        file to one design template to create one translated instance which is
        035049
        used to output one translated file. When the translated file is
        035049
        rendered, the centos-art script remove the previous instance
        035049
        and takes the next file in the list of translation files to repate the
        035049
        whole process once again, and so on for all files in the list. This
        035049
        configuration is mainly used to produce translatable artworks like
        035049
        Anaconda's progress slide images.
        035049

        035049

        To find out correspondence between translation entries and identity

        035049
        entries, you need to look the path of both translation entries and
        035049
        identity entries. For example, if you are using the Modern's artisitic
        035049
        motif, the identity entry for Anaconda progress artwork is:
        035049

        035049
        trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/Modern/Distro/Anaconda/Progress
        035049
        035049

        and its translation entry is:

        035049

        035049
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/Anaconda/Progress
        035049
        035049

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

        035049
        directory, also how static values (e.g., Identity, Themes, Distro,
        035049
        etc.) in the identity's entry path remain in translation's entry path,
        035049
        and how variable values like theme names (e.g., Modern) are stript out
        035049
        from translation's entry path. The same convenction can be applied to
        035049
        other identity entries in order to determine their translation
        035049
        entries, or to other translation entries to determine their identity
        035049
        entries.
        035049

        035049
        info

        Note

        Translation entries related to identity entries under

        035049
        <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs'</tt> do not use <tt>`Motifs/'</tt> in the
        035049
        path.  We've done this because <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Models'</tt>
        035049
        structure, the other structure under <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes'</tt>,
        035049
        doesn't require translation paths so far. So in the sake of saving
        035049
        characters space when building translation entries for
        035049
        <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs'</tt> structure, we organize Motifs
        035049
        translation entries under <tt>`trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/'</tt>
        035049
        directly. 
        035049

        035049

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

        035049
        requires translation entries, we need to re-oraganize the current
        035049
        directory structure accordingly.
        035049

        035049
        035049

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

        035049
        identity entries. For example the following identity entries:
        035049

        035049
        trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/Modern/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        035049
        trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/TreeFlower/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        035049
        trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/Mettle/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        035049
        035049

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

        035049
        Anaconda progress translation entry (the one shown in our example
        035049
        above). This way, you can create several identity entries and maintain
        035049
        just one translation entry for all of them.  Once you change the
        035049
        translation files inside the common translation entry, changes inside
        035049
        identity entries will take effect inside the next you render them.
        035049

        035049

        Trying to make things plain and simple: inside CentOS Artwork

        035049
        Repository, graphic designers can concentrate their efforts in
        035049
        artworks look and feel (the identity entries), and translators in
        035049
        artworks translations (the translation entries).

        3.50.2.2 Translation Markers

        035049

        684dc0
        035049

        035049

        Translation markers are used in "Theme Model Designs" and

        035049
        "Translation Files" as replacement patterns to commit content
        035049
        translation.  When you are rendering content using
        035049
        centos-art script inisde <tt>`trunk/Identity'</tt> structure,
        035049
        artistic motifs and translation files are applied to model designs to
        035049
        produce translated content as result. In order to have the appropriate
        035049
        translation in content rendered, markers defintion in translation
        035049
        files should match markers in model designs exactly. 
        035049

        035049
        035049

        Translation Markers

        035049
        035049

        035049

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

        035049
        we use the following to represent releases of CentOS distribution:
        035049

        035049
        035049
        <samp>`=MINOR_RELEASE='</samp>
        035049

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

        035049
        release is represented by the N letter.
        035049

        035049
        <samp>`=MAJOR_RELEASE='</samp>
        035049

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

        035049
        the major release is represented by the M letter.
        035049

        035049
        <samp>`=RELEASE='</samp>
        035049

        Replace the full release of CentOS distribution. It is

        035049
        <samp>`=MAJOR_RELEASE=.=MINOR_RELEASE='</samp> basically. 
        035049

        035049
        035049
        035049

        Specific translation markers convenctions are described inside

        035049
        specific translation entries. Read translation entries documentation
        035049
        to know more about supported translation markers.
        035049

        035049

        Translation markers standardization creates a common point of

        035049
        reference for translators and graphic designers. To have translation
        035049
        markers well defined makes possible that translators and graphic
        035049
        designers can work together but independently one another.
        035049

        035049
        035049
        035049

        3.50.2.3 Translation Files

        035049
        035049

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

        035049
        replacement commands mainly. As convenction, translation file names
        035049
        end in <samp>`.sed'</samp>. Translation files are used by centos-art
        035049
        script to produce translated artworks for specific major releases of
        035049
        CentOS Distribution. There are common translation files, specific
        035049
        translation, and template translation files.
        035049

        035049

        For example, the Firstboot artwork of CentOS distribution uses the

        035049
        images <tt>`splash-small.png'</tt> and <tt>`firstboot-left.png'</tt> as based
        035049
        to control its visual style. The <tt>`splash-small.png'</tt> image
        035049
        contains, in its graphic design, the release number information of
        035049
        CentOS distribution. So the <tt>`splash-small.png'</tt> is
        035049
        release-specific. In the other hand, the <tt>`firstboot-left.png'</tt>
        035049
        doesn't contain release number information. So the
        035049
        <tt>`firstboot-left.png'</tt> is not release-specific.
        035049

        035049

        If we want to produce Firstboot artwork for different major releases

        035049
        of CentOS distribution, using a monolithic visual identity, all
        035049
        Firstboot images should have the same visual style and, at the same
        035049
        time, the release-specific information in the release-specific images. 
        035049

        035049
        info

        Note

        The monolithic visual identity is implemented using

        035049
        theme models (see section trunk/Identity/Themes/Models) and artistic
        035049
        motifs (see section trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs).
        035049

        035049
        035049

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

        035049
        the initial translation entry to produce Firstboot artworks would look
        035049
        like the following:
        035049

        035049
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/BootUp/Firstboot/
        035049
        |-- Tpl
        035049
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        035049
        `-- firstboot-left.sed
        035049
        035049

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

        035049
        to produce the image <tt>`firstboot-left.png'</tt> only. To produce
        035049
        <tt>`splash-small.png'</tt> images for major releases (e.g., 3, 4, 5, and
        035049
        6) of CentOS distribution we need to produce the release-specific
        035049
        translation files using the centos-art script as following:
        035049

        035049
        centos-art render --entry=/home/centos/artwork/trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/BootUp/Firstboot --filter='3,4,5,6'
        035049
        035049

        The above command produces the following translation entiry:

        035049

        035049
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/BootUp/Firstboot/
        035049
        |-- 3
        035049
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        035049

        035049
        `-- firstboot-left.sed
        035049
        035049

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

        035049
        artwork images for major releases of CentOS distribution. To add new
        035049
        release-specific translation files, run the translation rendering
        035049
        command with the release number you want to produce translation files
        035049
        for in the <samp>`--filter='release-number''</samp> argument.

        3.50.2.4 Template Translation Files

        035049
        035049

        Template translation files are translation files stored inside

        035049
        translation template directory. Template translation files are used by
        035049
        centos-art script to produce specific translation files
        035049
        only. Template translation files may be empty or contain
        035049
        sed's replacement commands. If template translation files
        035049
        are empty files, the final specifc translation file built from it
        035049
        contains release-specific replacement commands only. For example,
        035049
        see the following translation entry:
        035049

        035049
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/BootUp/Firstboot/
        035049
        |-- 3
        035049
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        035049
        |-- 4
        035049
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        035049
        |-- 5
        035049
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        035049
        |-- 6
        035049
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        035049
        |-- Tpl
        035049
        |   `-- splash-small.sed    <-- template translation file.
        035049
        `-- firstboot-left.sed
        035049
        035049

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

        035049
        translation file and looks like:
        035049

        035049
        # -------------------------------------
        035049
        # $Id: splash-small.sed 94 2010-09-18 10:59:42Z al $
        035049
        # -------------------------------------
        035049
        035049

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

        035049
        but when you render it, the centos-art adds the
        035049
        release-specific replacement commands. In our Firstboot example, after
        035049
        rendering Firstboot translation entry, the <tt>`splash-small.sed'</tt>
        035049
        translation file specific to CentOS 5, looks like the following:
        035049

        035049
        # Warning: Do not modify this file directly. This file is created
        035049
        # automatically using 'centos-art' command line interface.  Any change
        035049
        # you do in this file will be lost the next time you update
        035049
        # translation files using 'centos-art' command line interface. If you
        035049
        # want to improve the content of this translation file, improve its
        035049
        # template file instead and run the 'centos-art' command line
        035049
        # interface later to propagate your changes.
        035049
        # -------------------------------------
        035049
        # $Id: splash-small.sed 94 2010-09-18 10:59:42Z al $
        035049
        # -------------------------------------
        035049
        035049
        # Release number information.
        035049
        s!=RELEASE=!=MAJOR_RELEASE=.=MINOR_RELEASE=!g
        035049
        s!=MINOR_RELEASE=!0!g
        035049
        s!=MAJOR_RELEASE=!5!g
        035049
        035049

        If template translation files are not empty, replacement commands

        035049
        inside template translation files are preserved inside
        035049
        release-specific translation files.  For example, consider the English
        035049
        template translation file of Anaconda progress welcome slide.  The
        035049
        translation template directory structure looks like the following:
        035049

        035049
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        035049
        `-- Tpl
        035049
            `-- en
        035049
                `-- 01-welcome.sed
        035049
        035049

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

        035049
        releases, the translation entry would look like the following:
        035049

        035049
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        035049
        |-- 4
        035049
        |   `-- en
        035049
        |       `-- 01-welcome.sed
        035049
        |-- 5
        035049
        |   `-- en
        035049
        |       `-- 01-welcome.sed
        035049
        `-- Tpl
        035049
            `-- en
        035049
                `-- 01-welcome.sed
        035049
        035049
        info

        Note

        Release-specific translation directories preserve

        035049
        template translation directory structure and file names.
        035049

        035049
        035049

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

        035049
        following:
        035049

        035049
        # ------------------------------------------------------------
        035049
        # $Id: 01-welcome.sed 94 2010-09-18 10:59:42Z al $

        s!=URL=!http://www.centos.org/!
        035049
        035049

        and, after render the translation entry, specific translation files

        035049
        look like the following:
        035049

        035049
        # Warning: Do not modify this file directly. This file is created
        035049

        s!=MAJOR_RELEASE=!5!g
        035049
        035049

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

        035049
        followed by a separation character (e.g., <samp>`/'</samp>, <samp>`!'</samp>, etc.).
        035049
        These lines have the following format:
        035049

        035049
        s/REGEXP/REPLACEMENT/FLAGS
        035049
        035049

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

        035049
        character within any given s command.  The <samp>`/'</samp>
        035049
        character (or whatever other character is used in its stead) can
        035049
        appear in the REGEXP or REPLACEMENT only if it is preceded by a
        035049
        <samp>`\'</samp> character.
        035049

        035049

        The s command is probably the most important in

        035049
        sed and has a lot of different options.  Its basic concept
        035049
        is simple: the s command attempts to match the pattern space
        035049
        against the supplied REGEXP; if the match is successful, then that
        035049
        portion of the pattern space which was matched is replaced with
        035049
        REPLACEMENT.
        035049

        035049

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

        035049
        define translation markers and REPLACEMENT where you define the
        035049
        translation text you want to have after artworks rendering.  Sometimes
        035049
        we use the FLAG component with the <samp>`g'</samp> command to apply the
        035049
        replacements globally.
        035049

        035049
        Info

        Tip

        More information about how to use sed's

        035049
        replacement commands and flags is available in sed's
        035049
        documentation manual. To read sed's documentation manual type the
        035049
        following command: 
        035049

        info sed
        035049
        035049
        035049

        Inside translation files, you can use translation markers not only

        035049
        inside the REGEXP but in the REPLACEMENT too. In order for this
        035049
        configuration to work, the REPLACEMENT of translation markers needs to
        035049
        be define after its definition. For example, see in the
        035049
        release-specific translation file above, how the
        035049
        <samp>`s!=MAJOR_RELASE=!5!g'</samp> replacement command is defined
        035049
        after <samp>`=MAJOR_RELASE='</samp> translation marker definition in
        035049
        the REPLACEMENT of <samp>`=TITLE='</samp> translation marker replacement
        035049
        command.

        3.50.2.5 Common Translation Files

        035049
        035049

        Common translation files contain common translations or no

        035049
        translation at all for their related artworks.  They are in the root
        035049
        directory of the translation entry. Common translation files create
        035049
        common artworks for all major releases of CentOS Distribution. 
        035049

        035049

        Translation entries, with common translation files inside, look like

        035049
        the following:
        035049

        035049
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/BootUp/Firstboot/

        3.50.2.6 Specific Translation Files

        035049
        035049

        Specific translation files contain specific translations for their

        035049
        related artworks. Specific translation files are not in the root
        035049
        directory of the translation entry, but inside directories which
        035049
        describe the type of translation they are doing. Specific translation
        035049
        files are produced automatically using the centos-art
        035049
        script.

        3.50.2.7 Translation Rendering

        035049
        035049

        When rendering translations, the centos-art script checks

        035049
        the translation entry to verify that it has a translation template
        035049
        directory inside. The translation template directory (<tt>`Tpl/'</tt>)
        035049
        contains common translation files used to build release-specific
        035049
        translation files. If the translation template directory doesn't exist
        035049
        inside the translation entry the translation rendering fails. In this
        035049
        case the centos-art script outputs a message and quits
        035049
        script execution.

        3.50.2.8 Translation (Pre-)Rendering Configuration Scripts

        035049
        035049

        When the centos-art script finds a translation template

        035049
        directory inside translation entry, it looks for translations
        035049
        pre-rendering configuration scripts for that translation entry.
        035049
        Translation pre-rendering configuration scripts let you extend
        035049
        translation's default functionality (described below). 
        035049

        035049

        Translation pre-rendering configuration scripts are stored under

        035049
        <tt>`trunk/Scripts'</tt> directory, specifically under the appropriate
        035049
        language implementation. If you are using centos-art Bash's
        035049
        implementation, the translation pre-rendering scripts are store in the
        035049
        <tt>`trunk/Scripts/Bash/Config'</tt> location; if you are using
        035049
        centos-art Python's implementation, then translation
        035049
        pre-rendering scripts are stored in the
        035049
        <tt>`trunk/Scripts/Python/Config'</tt> location, and so on for other
        035049
        implementations.
        035049

        035049

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

        035049
        following:
        035049

        035049
        #!/bin/bash
        035049
        #
        035049
        # render_loadConfig.sh -- brief description here.

        Translation pre-rendering scripts are function scripts loaded and

        035049
        executed when rendering a translation entry. Translation pre-rendering
        035049
        scripts are loaded using the translation entry being rendered as
        035049
        reference. For example, suppose you are using the
        035049
        centos-art Bash's implementation, and you are rendering
        035049
        translations for CentOS brands, in this situation the translation
        035049
        entry would be:
        035049

        035049
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Brands
        035049
        035049

        and the entry inside the translation pre-rendering configuration

        035049
        structure would be:
        035049

        035049
        trunk/Scripts/Bash/Config/Identity/Brands
        035049
        035049

        Once the centos-art script detects that translation

        035049
        pre-rendering configuration directory exists, the centos-art
        035049
        script looks for the translation pre-rendering configuration file.  If
        035049
        the translation pre-rendering configuration file exists, it is loaded
        035049
        and executed.  Once the translation pre-rendering configuration file
        035049
        has been executed the translation rendering process is over, and so
        035049
        the script execution.
        035049

        035049
        info

        Note

        Translation pre-rendering configuration files have the

        035049
        following form:
        035049

        render.conf.extension
        035049

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

        035049
        you are using. For example, <samp>`sh'</samp> for Bash's, <samp>`py'</samp> for
        035049
        Python's, <samp>`pl'</samp> for Perl's, and so on for other implementations.
        035049

        035049
        035049

        As we are using Bash implementation to describe the translation

        035049
        pre-rendering configuration example, the translation pre-rendering
        035049
        configuration file that centos-art looks for, inside the
        035049
        above translation pre-rendering configuration directory, is
        035049
        <tt>`render.conf.sh'</tt>.

        3.50.2.9 Translation Rendering Default Functionality

        035049
        035049

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

        035049
        doesn't exist, or it isn't written as function script, the
        035049
        centos-art script ignore translation pre-rendering
        035049
        configuration functionality and passes to render translation using
        035049
        default functionality instead.
        035049

        035049

        The translation rendering default functionality takes template

        035049
        translation directory structure, duplicates it for each release number
        035049
        specified in the <samp>`--filter='release-number''</samp> argument and
        035049
        produces release-specific directories. As part of template translation
        035049
        duplication process take place, the centos-art script adds
        035049
        release-specific replacement commands to each specific translation
        035049
        file inside release-specific directories. As result, specific
        035049
        translation files, inside release-specific directories, contain
        035049
        template translation replacement commands plus,
        035049
        release-specific replacement commands.
        035049

        035049
        info

        Note

        Release-specific replacement commands are standardized

        035049
        inside centos-art script using predifined release
        035049
        translation markers. Release translation markers are described in the
        035049
        translation marker section
        035049
        (see Translation Markers).

        035049
        035049
        <samp>`centos-art render --entry='path/to/dir''</samp>
        035049
        035049

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

        035049
        <samp>`trunk/Translations'</samp>, this command orverwrites available
        035049
        translation files using translation templates.
        035049

        035049
        035049
        <samp>`centos-art render --entry='path/to/dir' --filter='pattern''</samp>
        035049
        035049

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

        035049
        <tt>`trunk/Translations'</tt>, this command renders release-specific
        035049
        translation files as you specify in the <samp>`--filter='pattern''</samp>
        035049
        argument. In this case, <samp>`pattern'</samp> not a regular expression but an
        035049
        number (e.g., <samp>`5'</samp>) or a list of numbers separated by commas
        035049
        (e.g., <samp>`3,4,5,6'</samp>) that specify the major release of CentOS
        035049
        distribution you want to render translations for.
