    3.50.2 Description

    55c2ff
    63f275

    When you create artwork for CentOS distribution you find that some

    63f275
    artworks need to be created for different major releases of CentOS
    63f275
    distribution and inside each major release they need to be created for
    63f275
    different locales. To get an approximate idea of how many files we are
    63f275
    talking about, consider the followig approximate statistic:
    63f275

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

      In order to aliviate maintainance of artwork production for such

      63f275
      environment, we divided artwork production in three production lines:
      63f275

      63f275
        63f275
      1. See section trunk/Identity/Themes/Models, to define artworks
      2. 63f275
        characteristics (e.g., dimensions, position on the screen, etc.).
        63f275
      3. See section trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs, to define artworks visual
      4. 63f275
        styles (e.g., the look and feel).
        63f275
      5. Translations, to define which major releases and locales
      6. 63f275
        artworks are produced for. 
        63f275
        63f275
        63f275

        Inside CentOS Artwork Repository, the artworks' translation production

        63f275
        line is stored under <tt>`trunk/Translations'</tt> directory.
        63f275

        63f275

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

        63f275
        entries" to organize artworks' "translation files" and artworks'
        63f275
        "translation templates".
        63f275

        55c2ff
        008ee0
        63f275

        3.50.2.1 Translation Entries

        55c2ff
        63f275

        Translation entries exists for each artwork you want to produce.

        63f275
        Translation entries can be empty directories, or directories
        63f275
        containing translation files and translation templates.  
        63f275

        63f275

        When translation entries are empty directories, the identity entry is

        63f275
        used as reference to create file names and directories layout for
        63f275
        rendered files.  In this case, the centos-art script takes
        63f275
        one design template and outputs one non-translated file for each
        63f275
        design template available.  This configuration is mainly used to
        63f275
        produce non-translatable artworks like themes' backgrounds.
        63f275

        63f275

        When translation entries contain translation files, the translation

        63f275
        entry implements the CentOS release schema and is used as reference to
        63f275
        create file names and directories layout for translated artworks. In
        63f275
        this case, the centos-art script applies one translation
        63f275
        file to one design template to create one translated instance which is
        63f275
        used to output one translated file. When the translated file is
        63f275
        rendered, the centos-art script remove the previous instance
        63f275
        and takes the next file in the list of translation files to repate the
        63f275
        whole process once again, and so on for all files in the list. This
        63f275
        configuration is mainly used to produce translatable artworks like
        63f275
        Anaconda's progress slide images.
        63f275

        63f275

        To find out correspondence between translation entries and identity

        63f275
        entries, you need to look the path of both translation entries and
        63f275
        identity entries. For example, if you are using the Modern's artisitic
        63f275
        motif, the identity entry for Anaconda progress artwork is:
        63f275

        63f275
        trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/Modern/Distro/Anaconda/Progress
        63f275
        63f275

        and its translation entry is:

        63f275

        63f275
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/Anaconda/Progress
        63f275
        63f275

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

        63f275
        directory, also how static values (e.g., Identity, Themes, Distro,
        63f275
        etc.) in the identity's entry path remain in translation's entry path,
        63f275
        and how variable values like theme names (e.g., Modern) are stript out
        63f275
        from translation's entry path. The same convenction can be applied to
        63f275
        other identity entries in order to determine their translation
        63f275
        entries, or to other translation entries to determine their identity
        63f275
        entries.
        63f275

        63f275
        info

        Note

        Translation entries related to identity entries under

        63f275
        <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs'</tt> do not use <tt>`Motifs/'</tt> in the
        63f275
        path.  We've done this because <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Models'</tt>
        63f275
        structure, the other structure under <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes'</tt>,
        63f275
        doesn't require translation paths so far. So in the sake of saving
        63f275
        characters space when building translation entries for
        63f275
        <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs'</tt> structure, we organize Motifs
        63f275
        translation entries under <tt>`trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/'</tt>
        63f275
        directly. 
        63f275

        63f275

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

        63f275
        requires translation entries, we need to re-oraganize the current
        63f275
        directory structure accordingly.
        63f275

        63f275
        63f275

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

        63f275
        identity entries. For example the following identity entries:
        63f275

        63f275
        trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/Modern/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        63f275
        trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/TreeFlower/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        63f275
        trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/Mettle/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        63f275
        63f275

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

        63f275
        Anaconda progress translation entry (the one shown in our example
        63f275
        above). This way, you can create several identity entries and maintain
        63f275
        just one translation entry for all of them.  Once you change the
        63f275
        translation files inside the common translation entry, changes inside
        63f275
        identity entries will take effect inside the next you render them.
        63f275

        63f275

        Trying to make things plain and simple: inside CentOS Artwork

        63f275
        Repository, graphic designers can concentrate their efforts in
        63f275
        artworks look and feel (the identity entries), and translators in
        63f275
        artworks translations (the translation entries).

        3.50.2.2 Translation Markers

        63f275

        63f275
        63f275

        63f275

        Translation markers are used in "Theme Model Designs" and

        63f275
        "Translation Files" as replacement patterns to commit content
        63f275
        translation.  When you are rendering content using
        63f275
        centos-art script inisde <tt>`trunk/Identity'</tt> structure,
        63f275
        artistic motifs and translation files are applied to model designs to
        63f275
        produce translated content as result. In order to have the appropriate
        63f275
        translation in content rendered, markers defintion in translation
        63f275
        files should match markers in model designs exactly. 
        63f275

        63f275
        63f275

        Translation Markers

        63f275
        63f275

        63f275

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

        63f275
        we use the following to represent releases of CentOS distribution:
        63f275

        63f275
        63f275
        <samp>`=MINOR_RELEASE='</samp>
        63f275

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

        63f275
        release is represented by the N letter.
        63f275

        63f275
        <samp>`=MAJOR_RELEASE='</samp>
        63f275

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

        63f275
        the major release is represented by the M letter.
        63f275

        63f275
        <samp>`=RELEASE='</samp>
        63f275

        Replace the full release of CentOS distribution. It is

        63f275
        <samp>`=MAJOR_RELEASE=.=MINOR_RELEASE='</samp> basically. 
        63f275

        63f275
        63f275
        63f275

        Specific translation markers convenctions are described inside

        63f275
        specific translation entries. Read translation entries documentation
        63f275
        to know more about supported translation markers.
        63f275

        63f275

        Translation markers standardization creates a common point of

        63f275
        reference for translators and graphic designers. To have translation
        63f275
        markers well defined makes possible that translators and graphic
        63f275
        designers can work together but independently one another.
        63f275

        63f275
        63f275
        63f275

        3.50.2.3 Translation Files

        63f275
        63f275

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

        63f275
        replacement commands mainly. As convenction, translation file names
        63f275
        end in <samp>`.sed'</samp>. Translation files are used by centos-art
        63f275
        script to produce translated artworks for specific major releases of
        63f275
        CentOS Distribution. There are common translation files, specific
        63f275
        translation, and template translation files.
        63f275

        63f275

        For example, the Firstboot artwork of CentOS distribution uses the

        63f275
        images <tt>`splash-small.png'</tt> and <tt>`firstboot-left.png'</tt> as based
        63f275
        to control its visual style. The <tt>`splash-small.png'</tt> image
        63f275
        contains, in its graphic design, the release number information of
        63f275
        CentOS distribution. So the <tt>`splash-small.png'</tt> is
        63f275
        release-specific. In the other hand, the <tt>`firstboot-left.png'</tt>
        63f275
        doesn't contain release number information. So the
        63f275
        <tt>`firstboot-left.png'</tt> is not release-specific.
        63f275

        63f275

        If we want to produce Firstboot artwork for different major releases

        63f275
        of CentOS distribution, using a monolithic visual identity, all
        63f275
        Firstboot images should have the same visual style and, at the same
        63f275
        time, the release-specific information in the release-specific images. 
        63f275

        63f275
        info

        Note

        The monolithic visual identity is implemented using

        63f275
        theme models (see section trunk/Identity/Themes/Models) and artistic
        63f275
        motifs (see section trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs).
        63f275

        63f275
        63f275

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

        63f275
        the initial translation entry to produce Firstboot artworks would look
        63f275
        like the following:
        63f275

        63f275
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/BootUp/Firstboot/
        63f275
        |-- Tpl
        63f275
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        63f275
        `-- firstboot-left.sed
        63f275
        63f275

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

        63f275
        to produce the image <tt>`firstboot-left.png'</tt> only. To produce
        63f275
        <tt>`splash-small.png'</tt> images for major releases (e.g., 3, 4, 5, and
        63f275
        6) of CentOS distribution we need to produce the release-specific
        63f275
        translation files using the centos-art script as following:
        63f275

        63f275
        centos-art render --entry=/home/centos/artwork/trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/BootUp/Firstboot --filter='3,4,5,6'
        63f275
        63f275

        The above command produces the following translation entiry:

        63f275

        63f275
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/BootUp/Firstboot/
        63f275
        |-- 3
        63f275
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        63f275

        63f275
        `-- firstboot-left.sed
        63f275
        63f275

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

        63f275
        artwork images for major releases of CentOS distribution. To add new
        63f275
        release-specific translation files, run the translation rendering
        63f275
        command with the release number you want to produce translation files
        63f275
        for in the <samp>`--filter='release-number''</samp> argument.

        3.50.2.4 Template Translation Files

        63f275
        63f275

        Template translation files are translation files stored inside

        63f275
        translation template directory. Template translation files are used by
        63f275
        centos-art script to produce specific translation files
        63f275
        only. Template translation files may be empty or contain
        63f275
        sed's replacement commands. If template translation files
        63f275
        are empty files, the final specifc translation file built from it
        63f275
        contains release-specific replacement commands only. For example,
        63f275
        see the following translation entry:
        63f275

        63f275
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/BootUp/Firstboot/
        63f275
        |-- 3
        63f275
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        63f275
        |-- 4
        63f275
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        63f275
        |-- 5
        63f275
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        63f275
        |-- 6
        63f275
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        63f275
        |-- Tpl
        63f275
        |   `-- splash-small.sed    <-- template translation file.
        63f275
        `-- firstboot-left.sed
        63f275
        63f275

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

        63f275
        translation file and looks like:
        63f275

        63f275
        # -------------------------------------
        63f275
        # $Id: splash-small.sed 94 2010-09-18 10:59:42Z al $
        63f275
        # -------------------------------------
        63f275
        63f275

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

        63f275
        but when you render it, the centos-art adds the
        63f275
        release-specific replacement commands. In our Firstboot example, after
        63f275
        rendering Firstboot translation entry, the <tt>`splash-small.sed'</tt>
        63f275
        translation file specific to CentOS 5, looks like the following:
        63f275

        63f275
        # Warning: Do not modify this file directly. This file is created
        63f275
        # automatically using 'centos-art' command line interface.  Any change
        63f275
        # you do in this file will be lost the next time you update
        63f275
        # translation files using 'centos-art' command line interface. If you
        63f275
        # want to improve the content of this translation file, improve its
        63f275
        # template file instead and run the 'centos-art' command line
        63f275
        # interface later to propagate your changes.
        63f275
        # -------------------------------------
        63f275
        # $Id: splash-small.sed 94 2010-09-18 10:59:42Z al $
        63f275
        # -------------------------------------
        63f275
        63f275
        # Release number information.
        63f275
        s!=RELEASE=!=MAJOR_RELEASE=.=MINOR_RELEASE=!g
        63f275
        s!=MINOR_RELEASE=!0!g
        63f275
        s!=MAJOR_RELEASE=!5!g
        63f275
        63f275

        If template translation files are not empty, replacement commands

        63f275
        inside template translation files are preserved inside
        63f275
        release-specific translation files.  For example, consider the English
        63f275
        template translation file of Anaconda progress welcome slide.  The
        63f275
        translation template directory structure looks like the following:
        63f275

        63f275
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        63f275
        `-- Tpl
        63f275
            `-- en
        63f275
                `-- 01-welcome.sed
        63f275
        63f275

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

        63f275
        releases, the translation entry would look like the following:
        63f275

        63f275
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        63f275
        |-- 4
        63f275
        |   `-- en
        63f275
        |       `-- 01-welcome.sed
        63f275
        |-- 5
        63f275
        |   `-- en
        63f275
        |       `-- 01-welcome.sed
        63f275
        `-- Tpl
        63f275
            `-- en
        63f275
                `-- 01-welcome.sed
        63f275
        63f275
        info

        Note

        Release-specific translation directories preserve

        63f275
        template translation directory structure and file names.
        63f275

        63f275
        63f275

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

        63f275
        following:
        63f275

        63f275
        # ------------------------------------------------------------
        63f275
        # $Id: 01-welcome.sed 94 2010-09-18 10:59:42Z al $

        s!=URL=!http://www.centos.org/!
        63f275
        63f275

        and, after render the translation entry, specific translation files

        63f275
        look like the following:
        63f275

        63f275
        # Warning: Do not modify this file directly. This file is created
        63f275

        s!=MAJOR_RELEASE=!5!g
        63f275
        63f275

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

        63f275
        followed by a separation character (e.g., <samp>`/'</samp>, <samp>`!'</samp>, etc.).
        63f275
        These lines have the following format:
        63f275

        63f275
        s/REGEXP/REPLACEMENT/FLAGS
        63f275
        63f275

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

        63f275
        character within any given s command.  The <samp>`/'</samp>
        63f275
        character (or whatever other character is used in its stead) can
        63f275
        appear in the REGEXP or REPLACEMENT only if it is preceded by a
        63f275
        <samp>`\'</samp> character.
        63f275

        63f275

        The s command is probably the most important in

        63f275
        sed and has a lot of different options.  Its basic concept
        63f275
        is simple: the s command attempts to match the pattern space
        63f275
        against the supplied REGEXP; if the match is successful, then that
        63f275
        portion of the pattern space which was matched is replaced with
        63f275
        REPLACEMENT.
        63f275

        63f275

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

        63f275
        define translation markers and REPLACEMENT where you define the
        63f275
        translation text you want to have after artworks rendering.  Sometimes
        63f275
        we use the FLAG component with the <samp>`g'</samp> command to apply the
        63f275
        replacements globally.
        63f275

        63f275
        Info

        Tip

        More information about how to use sed's

        63f275
        replacement commands and flags is available in sed's
        63f275
        documentation manual. To read sed's documentation manual type the
        63f275
        following command: 
        63f275

        info sed
        63f275
        63f275
        63f275

        Inside translation files, you can use translation markers not only

        63f275
        inside the REGEXP but in the REPLACEMENT too. In order for this
        63f275
        configuration to work, the REPLACEMENT of translation markers needs to
        63f275
        be define after its definition. For example, see in the
        63f275
        release-specific translation file above, how the
        63f275
        <samp>`s!=MAJOR_RELASE=!5!g'</samp> replacement command is defined
        63f275
        after <samp>`=MAJOR_RELASE='</samp> translation marker definition in
        63f275
        the REPLACEMENT of <samp>`=TITLE='</samp> translation marker replacement
        63f275
        command.

        3.50.2.5 Common Translation Files

        63f275
        63f275

        Common translation files contain common translations or no

        63f275
        translation at all for their related artworks.  They are in the root
        63f275
        directory of the translation entry. Common translation files create
        63f275
        common artworks for all major releases of CentOS Distribution. 
        63f275

        63f275

        Translation entries, with common translation files inside, look like

        63f275
        the following:
        63f275

        63f275
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/BootUp/Firstboot/

        3.50.2.6 Specific Translation Files

        63f275
        63f275

        Specific translation files contain specific translations for their

        63f275
        related artworks. Specific translation files are not in the root
        63f275
        directory of the translation entry, but inside directories which
        63f275
        describe the type of translation they are doing. Specific translation
        63f275
        files are produced automatically using the centos-art
        63f275
        script.

        3.50.2.7 Translation Rendering

        63f275
        63f275

        When rendering translations, the centos-art script checks

        63f275
        the translation entry to verify that it has a translation template
        63f275
        directory inside. The translation template directory (<tt>`Tpl/'</tt>)
        63f275
        contains common translation files used to build release-specific
        63f275
        translation files. If the translation template directory doesn't exist
        63f275
        inside the translation entry the translation rendering fails. In this
        63f275
        case the centos-art script outputs a message and quits
        63f275
        script execution.

        3.50.2.8 Translation (Pre-)Rendering Configuration Scripts

        63f275
        63f275

        When the centos-art script finds a translation template

        63f275
        directory inside translation entry, it looks for translations
        63f275
        pre-rendering configuration scripts for that translation entry.
        63f275
        Translation pre-rendering configuration scripts let you extend
        63f275
        translation's default functionality (described below). 
        63f275

        63f275

        Translation pre-rendering configuration scripts are stored under

        63f275
        <tt>`trunk/Scripts'</tt> directory, specifically under the appropriate
        63f275
        language implementation. If you are using centos-art Bash's
        63f275
        implementation, the translation pre-rendering scripts are store in the
        63f275
        <tt>`trunk/Scripts/Bash/Config'</tt> location; if you are using
        63f275
        centos-art Python's implementation, then translation
        63f275
        pre-rendering scripts are stored in the
        63f275
        <tt>`trunk/Scripts/Python/Config'</tt> location, and so on for other
        63f275
        implementations.
        63f275

        63f275

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

        63f275
        following:
        63f275

        63f275
        #!/bin/bash
        63f275
        #
        63f275
        # render_loadConfig.sh -- brief description here.

        Translation pre-rendering scripts are function scripts loaded and

        63f275
        executed when rendering a translation entry. Translation pre-rendering
        63f275
        scripts are loaded using the translation entry being rendered as
        63f275
        reference. For example, suppose you are using the
        63f275
        centos-art Bash's implementation, and you are rendering
        63f275
        translations for CentOS brands, in this situation the translation
        63f275
        entry would be:
        63f275

        63f275
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Brands
        63f275
        63f275

        and the entry inside the translation pre-rendering configuration

        63f275
        structure would be:
        63f275

        63f275
        trunk/Scripts/Bash/Config/Identity/Brands
        63f275
        63f275

        Once the centos-art script detects that translation

        63f275
        pre-rendering configuration directory exists, the centos-art
        63f275
        script looks for the translation pre-rendering configuration file.  If
        63f275
        the translation pre-rendering configuration file exists, it is loaded
        63f275
        and executed.  Once the translation pre-rendering configuration file
        63f275
        has been executed the translation rendering process is over, and so
        63f275
        the script execution.
        63f275

        63f275
        info

        Note

        Translation pre-rendering configuration files have the

        63f275
        following form:
        63f275

        render.conf.extension
        63f275

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

        63f275
        you are using. For example, <samp>`sh'</samp> for Bash's, <samp>`py'</samp> for
        63f275
        Python's, <samp>`pl'</samp> for Perl's, and so on for other implementations.
        63f275

        63f275
        63f275

        As we are using Bash implementation to describe the translation

        63f275
        pre-rendering configuration example, the translation pre-rendering
        63f275
        configuration file that centos-art looks for, inside the
        63f275
        above translation pre-rendering configuration directory, is
        63f275
        <tt>`render.conf.sh'</tt>.

        3.50.2.9 Translation Rendering Default Functionality

        63f275
        63f275

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

        63f275
        doesn't exist, or it isn't written as function script, the
        63f275
        centos-art script ignore translation pre-rendering
        63f275
        configuration functionality and passes to render translation using
        63f275
        default functionality instead.
        63f275

        63f275

        The translation rendering default functionality takes template

        63f275
        translation directory structure, duplicates it for each release number
        63f275
        specified in the <samp>`--filter='release-number''</samp> argument and
        63f275
        produces release-specific directories. As part of template translation
        63f275
        duplication process take place, the centos-art script adds
        63f275
        release-specific replacement commands to each specific translation
        63f275
        file inside release-specific directories. As result, specific
        63f275
        translation files, inside release-specific directories, contain
        63f275
        template translation replacement commands plus,
        63f275
        release-specific replacement commands.
        63f275

        63f275
        info

        Note

        Release-specific replacement commands are standardized

        63f275
        inside centos-art script using predifined release
        63f275
        translation markers. Release translation markers are described in the
        63f275
        translation marker section
        63f275
        (see Translation Markers).

        3.50.3 Usage

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

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

        63f275
        <samp>`trunk/Translations'</samp>, this command orverwrites available
        63f275
        translation files using translation templates.
        63f275

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

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

        63f275
        <tt>`trunk/Translations'</tt>, this command renders release-specific
        63f275
        translation files as you specify in the <samp>`--filter='pattern''</samp>
        63f275
        argument. In this case, <samp>`pattern'</samp> not a regular expression but an
        63f275
        number (e.g., <samp>`5'</samp>) or a list of numbers separated by commas
        63f275
        (e.g., <samp>`3,4,5,6'</samp>) that specify the major release of CentOS
        63f275
        distribution you want to render translations for.
