    3.50.2 Description

    55c2ff
    831389

    When you create artwork for CentOS distribution you find that some

    831389
    artworks need to be created for different major releases of CentOS
    831389
    distribution and inside each major release they need to be created for
    831389
    different locales. To get an approximate idea of how many files we are
    831389
    talking about, consider the followig approximate statistic:
    831389

    63f275
      831389
    • Inside CentOS distribution, there are around 30 images to
    • 831389
      rebrand.(2)
      831389
      831389
    • There are near to four major releases of CentOS distribution to
    • 831389
      rebrand in parallel development.(3) 
      831389
      831389
    • Each CentOS distribution in parallel development supports more
    • 831389
      than two hundreds locales.(4)
      63f275
      63f275
      831389

      In order to aliviate maintainance of artwork production for such

      831389
      environment, we divided artwork production in three production lines:
      831389

      831389
        831389
      1. See section trunk/Identity/Themes/Models, to define artworks
      2. 831389
        characteristics (e.g., dimensions, position on the screen, etc.).
        831389
      3. See section trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs, to define artworks visual
      4. 831389
        styles (e.g., the look and feel).
        831389
      5. Translations, to define which major releases and locales
      6. 831389
        artworks are produced for. 
        831389
        831389
        831389

        Inside CentOS Artwork Repository, the artworks' translation production

        831389
        line is stored under <tt>`trunk/Translations'</tt> directory.
        831389

        831389

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

        831389
        entries" to organize artworks' "translation files" and artworks'
        831389
        "translation templates".
        831389

        831389
        831389
        831389

        3.50.2.1 Translation Entries

        831389
        831389

        Translation entries exists for each artwork you want to produce.

        831389
        Translation entries can be empty directories, or directories
        831389
        containing translation files and translation templates.  
        831389

        831389

        When translation entries are empty directories, the identity entry is

        831389
        used as reference to create file names and directories layout for
        831389
        rendered files.  In this case, the centos-art script takes
        831389
        one design template and outputs one non-translated file for each
        831389
        design template available.  This configuration is mainly used to
        831389
        produce non-translatable artworks like themes' backgrounds.
        831389

        831389

        When translation entries contain translation files, the translation

        831389
        entry implements the CentOS release schema and is used as reference to
        831389
        create file names and directories layout for translated artworks. In
        831389
        this case, the centos-art script applies one translation
        831389
        file to one design template to create one translated instance which is
        831389
        used to output one translated file. When the translated file is
        831389
        rendered, the centos-art script remove the previous instance
        831389
        and takes the next file in the list of translation files to repate the
        831389
        whole process once again, and so on for all files in the list. This
        831389
        configuration is mainly used to produce translatable artworks like
        831389
        Anaconda's progress slide images.
        831389

        831389

        To find out correspondence between translation entries and identity

        831389
        entries, you need to look the path of both translation entries and
        831389
        identity entries. For example, if you are using the Modern's artisitic
        831389
        motif, the identity entry for Anaconda progress artwork is:
        831389

        831389
        trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/Modern/Distro/Anaconda/Progress
        831389
        831389

        and its translation entry is:

        831389

        831389
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/Anaconda/Progress
        831389
        831389

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

        831389
        directory, also how static values (e.g., Identity, Themes, Distro,
        831389
        etc.) in the identity's entry path remain in translation's entry path,
        831389
        and how variable values like theme names (e.g., Modern) are stript out
        831389
        from translation's entry path. The same convenction can be applied to
        831389
        other identity entries in order to determine their translation
        831389
        entries, or to other translation entries to determine their identity
        831389
        entries.
        831389

        831389
        info

        Note

        Translation entries related to identity entries under

        831389
        <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs'</tt> do not use <tt>`Motifs/'</tt> in the
        831389
        path.  We've done this because <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Models'</tt>
        831389
        structure, the other structure under <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes'</tt>,
        831389
        doesn't require translation paths so far. So in the sake of saving
        831389
        characters space when building translation entries for
        831389
        <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs'</tt> structure, we organize Motifs
        831389
        translation entries under <tt>`trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/'</tt>
        831389
        directly. 
        831389

        831389

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

        831389
        requires translation entries, we need to re-oraganize the current
        831389
        directory structure accordingly.
        831389

        831389
        831389

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

        831389
        identity entries. For example the following identity entries:
        831389

        831389
        trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/Modern/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        831389
        trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/TreeFlower/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        831389
        trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/Mettle/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        831389
        831389

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

        831389
        Anaconda progress translation entry (the one shown in our example
        831389
        above). This way, you can create several identity entries and maintain
        831389
        just one translation entry for all of them.  Once you change the
        831389
        translation files inside the common translation entry, changes inside
        831389
        identity entries will take effect inside the next you render them.
        831389

        831389

        Trying to make things plain and simple: inside CentOS Artwork

        831389
        Repository, graphic designers can concentrate their efforts in
        831389
        artworks look and feel (the identity entries), and translators in
        831389
        artworks translations (the translation entries).
        831389

        831389
        831389
        831389

        3.50.2.2 Translation Markers

        831389

        831389
        831389

        831389

        Translation markers are used in "Theme Model Designs" and

        831389
        "Translation Files" as replacement patterns to commit content
        831389
        translation.  When you are rendering content using
        831389
        centos-art script inisde <tt>`trunk/Identity'</tt> structure,
        831389
        artistic motifs and translation files are applied to model designs to
        831389
        produce translated content as result. In order to have the appropriate
        831389
        translation in content rendered, markers defintion in translation
        831389
        files should match markers in model designs exactly. 
        831389

        831389
        831389

        Translation Markers

        831389
        831389

        831389

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

        831389
        we use the following to represent releases of CentOS distribution:
        831389

        831389
        831389
        <samp>`=MINOR_RELEASE='</samp>
        831389

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

        831389
        release is represented by the N letter.
        831389

        831389
        <samp>`=MAJOR_RELEASE='</samp>
        831389

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

        831389
        the major release is represented by the M letter.
        831389

        831389
        <samp>`=RELEASE='</samp>
        831389

        Replace the full release of CentOS distribution. It is

        831389
        <samp>`=MAJOR_RELEASE=.=MINOR_RELEASE='</samp> basically. 
        831389

        831389
        831389
        831389

        Specific translation markers convenctions are described inside

        831389
        specific translation entries. Read translation entries documentation
        831389
        to know more about supported translation markers.
        831389

        831389

        Translation markers standardization creates a common point of

        831389
        reference for translators and graphic designers. To have translation
        831389
        markers well defined makes possible that translators and graphic
        831389
        designers can work together but independently one another.
        831389

        831389
        831389
        831389

        3.50.2.3 Translation Files

        831389
        831389

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

        831389
        replacement commands mainly. As convenction, translation file names
        831389
        end in <samp>`.sed'</samp>. Translation files are used by centos-art
        831389
        script to produce translated artworks for specific major releases of
        831389
        CentOS Distribution. There are common translation files, specific
        831389
        translation, and template translation files.
        831389

        831389

        For example, the Firstboot artwork of CentOS distribution uses the

        831389
        images <tt>`splash-small.png'</tt> and <tt>`firstboot-left.png'</tt> as based
        831389
        to control its visual style. The <tt>`splash-small.png'</tt> image
        831389
        contains, in its graphic design, the release number information of
        831389
        CentOS distribution. So the <tt>`splash-small.png'</tt> is
        831389
        release-specific. In the other hand, the <tt>`firstboot-left.png'</tt>
        831389
        doesn't contain release number information. So the
        831389
        <tt>`firstboot-left.png'</tt> is not release-specific.
        831389

        831389

        If we want to produce Firstboot artwork for different major releases

        831389
        of CentOS distribution, using a monolithic visual identity, all
        831389
        Firstboot images should have the same visual style and, at the same
        831389
        time, the release-specific information in the release-specific images. 
        831389

        831389
        info

        Note

        The monolithic visual identity is implemented using

        831389
        theme models (see section trunk/Identity/Themes/Models) and artistic
        831389
        motifs (see section trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs).
        831389

        831389
        831389

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

        831389
        the initial translation entry to produce Firstboot artworks would look
        831389
        like the following:
        831389

        831389
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/BootUp/Firstboot/
        831389
        |-- Tpl
        831389
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        831389
        `-- firstboot-left.sed
        831389
        831389

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

        831389
        to produce the image <tt>`firstboot-left.png'</tt> only. To produce
        831389
        <tt>`splash-small.png'</tt> images for major releases (e.g., 3, 4, 5, and
        831389
        6) of CentOS distribution we need to produce the release-specific
        831389
        translation files using the centos-art script as following:
        831389

        831389
        centos-art render --entry=/home/centos/artwork/trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/BootUp/Firstboot --filter='3,4,5,6'
        831389
        831389

        The above command produces the following translation entiry:

        831389

        831389
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/BootUp/Firstboot/
        831389
        |-- 3

        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        831389

        831389
        `-- firstboot-left.sed
        831389
        831389

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

        831389
        artwork images for major releases of CentOS distribution. To add new
        831389
        release-specific translation files, run the translation rendering
        831389
        command with the release number you want to produce translation files
        831389
        for in the <samp>`--filter='release-number''</samp> argument.

        3.50.2.4 Template Translation Files

        831389
        831389

        Template translation files are translation files stored inside

        831389
        translation template directory. Template translation files are used by
        831389
        centos-art script to produce specific translation files
        831389
        only. Template translation files may be empty or contain
        831389
        sed's replacement commands. If template translation files
        831389
        are empty files, the final specifc translation file built from it
        831389
        contains release-specific replacement commands only. For example,
        831389
        see the following translation entry:
        831389

        831389
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/BootUp/Firstboot/
        831389
        |-- 3
        831389
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        831389
        |-- 4
        831389
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        831389
        |-- 5
        831389
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        831389
        |-- 6
        831389
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        831389
        |-- Tpl
        831389
        |   `-- splash-small.sed    <-- template translation file.
        831389
        `-- firstboot-left.sed
        831389
        831389

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

        831389
        translation file and looks like:
        831389

        831389
        # -------------------------------------
        831389
        # $Id: splash-small.sed 94 2010-09-18 10:59:42Z al $
        831389
        # -------------------------------------
        831389
        831389

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

        831389
        but when you render it, the centos-art adds the
        831389
        release-specific replacement commands. In our Firstboot example, after
        831389
        rendering Firstboot translation entry, the <tt>`splash-small.sed'</tt>
        831389
        translation file specific to CentOS 5, looks like the following:
        831389

        831389
        # Warning: Do not modify this file directly. This file is created
        831389
        # automatically using 'centos-art' command line interface.  Any change
        831389
        # you do in this file will be lost the next time you update
        831389
        # translation files using 'centos-art' command line interface. If you
        831389
        # want to improve the content of this translation file, improve its
        831389
        # template file instead and run the 'centos-art' command line
        831389
        # interface later to propagate your changes.
        831389
        # -------------------------------------
        831389
        # $Id: splash-small.sed 94 2010-09-18 10:59:42Z al $
        831389
        # -------------------------------------
        831389
        831389
        # Release number information.
        831389
        s!=RELEASE=!=MAJOR_RELEASE=.=MINOR_RELEASE=!g
        831389
        s!=MINOR_RELEASE=!0!g
        831389
        s!=MAJOR_RELEASE=!5!g
        831389
        831389

        If template translation files are not empty, replacement commands

        831389
        inside template translation files are preserved inside
        831389
        release-specific translation files.  For example, consider the English
        831389
        template translation file of Anaconda progress welcome slide.  The
        831389
        translation template directory structure looks like the following:
        831389

        831389
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        831389
        `-- Tpl
        831389
            `-- en
        831389
                `-- 01-welcome.sed
        831389
        831389

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

        831389
        releases, the translation entry would look like the following:
        831389

        831389
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        831389
        |-- 4
        831389
        |   `-- en
        831389
        |       `-- 01-welcome.sed
        831389
        |-- 5
        831389
        |   `-- en
        831389
        |       `-- 01-welcome.sed
        831389
        `-- Tpl
        831389
            `-- en
        831389
                `-- 01-welcome.sed
        831389
        831389
        info

        Note

        Release-specific translation directories preserve

        831389
        template translation directory structure and file names.
        831389

        831389
        831389

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

        831389
        following:
        831389

        831389
        # ------------------------------------------------------------
        831389
        # $Id: 01-welcome.sed 94 2010-09-18 10:59:42Z al $

        s!=URL=!http://www.centos.org/!
        831389
        831389

        and, after render the translation entry, specific translation files

        831389
        look like the following:
        831389

        831389
        # Warning: Do not modify this file directly. This file is created
        831389

        s!=MAJOR_RELEASE=!5!g
        831389
        831389

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

        831389
        followed by a separation character (e.g., <samp>`/'</samp>, <samp>`!'</samp>, etc.).
        831389
        These lines have the following format:
        831389

        831389
        s/REGEXP/REPLACEMENT/FLAGS
        831389
        831389

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

        831389
        character within any given s command.  The <samp>`/'</samp>
        831389
        character (or whatever other character is used in its stead) can
        831389
        appear in the REGEXP or REPLACEMENT only if it is preceded by a
        831389
        <samp>`\'</samp> character.
        831389

        831389

        The s command is probably the most important in

        831389
        sed and has a lot of different options.  Its basic concept
        831389
        is simple: the s command attempts to match the pattern space
        831389
        against the supplied REGEXP; if the match is successful, then that
        831389
        portion of the pattern space which was matched is replaced with
        831389
        REPLACEMENT.
        831389

        831389

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

        831389
        define translation markers and REPLACEMENT where you define the
        831389
        translation text you want to have after artworks rendering.  Sometimes
        831389
        we use the FLAG component with the <samp>`g'</samp> command to apply the
        831389
        replacements globally.
        831389

        831389
        Info

        Tip

        More information about how to use sed's

        831389
        replacement commands and flags is available in sed's
        831389
        documentation manual. To read sed's documentation manual type the
        831389
        following command: 
        831389

        info sed
        831389
        831389
        831389

        Inside translation files, you can use translation markers not only

        831389
        inside the REGEXP but in the REPLACEMENT too. In order for this
        831389
        configuration to work, the REPLACEMENT of translation markers needs to
        831389
        be define after its definition. For example, see in the
        831389
        release-specific translation file above, how the
        831389
        <samp>`s!=MAJOR_RELASE=!5!g'</samp> replacement command is defined
        831389
        after <samp>`=MAJOR_RELASE='</samp> translation marker definition in
        831389
        the REPLACEMENT of <samp>`=TITLE='</samp> translation marker replacement
        831389
        command.

        3.50.2.5 Common Translation Files

        831389
        831389

        Common translation files contain common translations or no

        831389
        translation at all for their related artworks.  They are in the root
        831389
        directory of the translation entry. Common translation files create
        831389
        common artworks for all major releases of CentOS Distribution. 
        831389

        831389

        Translation entries, with common translation files inside, look like

        831389
        the following:
        831389

        831389
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/BootUp/Firstboot/

        3.50.2.6 Specific Translation Files

        831389
        831389

        Specific translation files contain specific translations for their

        831389
        related artworks. Specific translation files are not in the root
        831389
        directory of the translation entry, but inside directories which
        831389
        describe the type of translation they are doing. Specific translation
        831389
        files are produced automatically using the centos-art
        831389
        script.

        3.50.2.7 Translation Rendering

        831389
        831389

        When rendering translations, the centos-art script checks

        831389
        the translation entry to verify that it has a translation template
        831389
        directory inside. The translation template directory (<tt>`Tpl/'</tt>)
        831389
        contains common translation files used to build release-specific
        831389
        translation files. If the translation template directory doesn't exist
        831389
        inside the translation entry the translation rendering fails. In this
        831389
        case the centos-art script outputs a message and quits
        831389
        script execution.

        3.50.2.8 Translation (Pre-)Rendering Configuration Scripts

        831389
        831389

        When the centos-art script finds a translation template

        831389
        directory inside translation entry, it looks for translations
        831389
        pre-rendering configuration scripts for that translation entry.
        831389
        Translation pre-rendering configuration scripts let you extend
        831389
        translation's default functionality (described below). 
        831389

        831389

        Translation pre-rendering configuration scripts are stored under

        831389
        <tt>`trunk/Scripts'</tt> directory, specifically under the appropriate
        831389
        language implementation. If you are using centos-art Bash's
        831389
        implementation, the translation pre-rendering scripts are store in the
        831389
        <tt>`trunk/Scripts/Bash/Config'</tt> location; if you are using
        831389
        centos-art Python's implementation, then translation
        831389
        pre-rendering scripts are stored in the
        831389
        <tt>`trunk/Scripts/Python/Config'</tt> location, and so on for other
        831389
        implementations.
        831389

        831389

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

        831389
        following:
        831389

        831389
        #!/bin/bash
        831389
        #
        831389
        # render_loadConfig.sh -- brief description here.

        Translation pre-rendering scripts are function scripts loaded and

        831389
        executed when rendering a translation entry. Translation pre-rendering
        831389
        scripts are loaded using the translation entry being rendered as
        831389
        reference. For example, suppose you are using the
        831389
        centos-art Bash's implementation, and you are rendering
        831389
        translations for CentOS brands, in this situation the translation
        831389
        entry would be:
        831389

        831389
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Brands
        831389
        831389

        and the entry inside the translation pre-rendering configuration

        831389
        structure would be:
        831389

        831389
        trunk/Scripts/Bash/Config/Identity/Brands
        831389
        831389

        Once the centos-art script detects that translation

        831389
        pre-rendering configuration directory exists, the centos-art
        831389
        script looks for the translation pre-rendering configuration file.  If
        831389
        the translation pre-rendering configuration file exists, it is loaded
        831389
        and executed.  Once the translation pre-rendering configuration file
        831389
        has been executed the translation rendering process is over, and so
        831389
        the script execution.
        831389

        831389
        info

        Note

        Translation pre-rendering configuration files have the

        831389
        following form:
        831389

        render.conf.extension
        831389

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

        831389
        you are using. For example, <samp>`sh'</samp> for Bash's, <samp>`py'</samp> for
        831389
        Python's, <samp>`pl'</samp> for Perl's, and so on for other implementations.
        831389

        831389
        831389

        As we are using Bash implementation to describe the translation

        831389
        pre-rendering configuration example, the translation pre-rendering
        831389
        configuration file that centos-art looks for, inside the
        831389
        above translation pre-rendering configuration directory, is
        831389
        <tt>`render.conf.sh'</tt>.

        3.50.2.9 Translation Rendering Default Functionality

        831389
        831389

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

        831389
        doesn't exist, or it isn't written as function script, the
        831389
        centos-art script ignore translation pre-rendering
        831389
        configuration functionality and passes to render translation using
        831389
        default functionality instead.
        831389

        831389

        The translation rendering default functionality takes template

        831389
        translation directory structure, duplicates it for each release number
        831389
        specified in the <samp>`--filter='release-number''</samp> argument and
        831389
        produces release-specific directories. As part of template translation
        831389
        duplication process take place, the centos-art script adds
        831389
        release-specific replacement commands to each specific translation
        831389
        file inside release-specific directories. As result, specific
        831389
        translation files, inside release-specific directories, contain
        831389
        template translation replacement commands plus,
        831389
        release-specific replacement commands.
        831389

        831389
        info

        Note

        Release-specific replacement commands are standardized

        831389
        inside centos-art script using predifined release
        831389
        translation markers. Release translation markers are described in the
        831389
        translation marker section
        831389
        (see Translation Markers).

        3.50.3 Usage

        63f275
        831389
        831389
        <samp>`centos-art render --entry='path/to/dir''</samp>
        831389
        831389

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

        831389
        <samp>`trunk/Translations'</samp>, this command orverwrites available
        831389
        translation files using translation templates.
        831389

        831389
        831389
        <samp>`centos-art render --entry='path/to/dir' --filter='pattern''</samp>
        831389
        831389

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

        831389
        <tt>`trunk/Translations'</tt>, this command renders release-specific
        831389
        translation files as you specify in the <samp>`--filter='pattern''</samp>
        831389
        argument. In this case, <samp>`pattern'</samp> not a regular expression but an
        831389
        number (e.g., <samp>`5'</samp>) or a list of numbers separated by commas
        831389
        (e.g., <samp>`3,4,5,6'</samp>) that specify the major release of CentOS
        831389
        distribution you want to render translations for.
