    3.50.2 Description

    55c2ff
    c489c0

    When you create artwork for CentOS distribution you find that some

    c489c0
    artworks need to be created for different major releases of CentOS
    c489c0
    distribution and inside each major release they need to be created for
    c489c0
    different locales. To get an approximate idea of how many files we are
    c489c0
    talking about, consider the followig approximate statistic:
    c489c0

    63f275
      c489c0
    • Inside CentOS distribution, there are around 30 images to
    • c489c0
      rebrand.(2)
      c489c0
      c489c0
    • There are near to four major releases of CentOS distribution to
    • c489c0
      rebrand in parallel development.(3) 
      c489c0
      c489c0
    • Each CentOS distribution in parallel development supports more
    • c489c0
      than two hundreds locales.(4)
      63f275
      63f275
      c489c0

      In order to aliviate maintainance of artwork production for such

      c489c0
      environment, we divided artwork production in three production lines:
      c489c0

      c489c0
        c489c0
      1. See section trunk/Identity/Themes/Models, to define artworks
      2. c489c0
        characteristics (e.g., dimensions, position on the screen, etc.).
        c489c0
      3. See section trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs, to define artworks visual
      4. c489c0
        styles (e.g., the look and feel).
        c489c0
      5. Translations, to define which major releases and locales
      6. c489c0
        artworks are produced for. 
        c489c0
        c489c0
        c489c0

        Inside CentOS Artwork Repository, the artworks' translation production

        c489c0
        line is stored under <tt>`trunk/Translations'</tt> directory.
        c489c0

        c489c0

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

        c489c0
        entries" to organize artworks' "translation files" and artworks'
        c489c0
        "translation templates".
        c489c0

        3.50.2.1 Translation Entries

        4224f4
        c489c0

        Translation entries exists for each artwork you want to produce.

        c489c0
        Translation entries can be empty directories, or directories
        c489c0
        containing translation files and translation templates.  
        c489c0

        c489c0

        When translation entries are empty directories, the identity entry is

        c489c0
        used as reference to create file names and directories layout for
        c489c0
        rendered files.  In this case, the centos-art script takes
        c489c0
        one design template and outputs one non-translated file for each
        c489c0
        design template available.  This configuration is mainly used to
        c489c0
        produce non-translatable artworks like themes' backgrounds.
        c489c0

        c489c0

        When translation entries contain translation files, the translation

        c489c0
        entry implements the CentOS release schema and is used as reference to
        c489c0
        create file names and directories layout for translated artworks. In
        c489c0
        this case, the centos-art script applies one translation
        c489c0
        file to one design template to create one translated instance which is
        c489c0
        used to output one translated file. When the translated file is
        c489c0
        rendered, the centos-art script remove the previous instance
        c489c0
        and takes the next file in the list of translation files to repate the
        c489c0
        whole process once again, and so on for all files in the list. This
        c489c0
        configuration is mainly used to produce translatable artworks like
        c489c0
        Anaconda's progress slide images.
        c489c0

        c489c0

        To find out correspondence between translation entries and identity

        c489c0
        entries, you need to look the path of both translation entries and
        c489c0
        identity entries. For example, if you are using the Modern's artisitic
        c489c0
        motif, the identity entry for Anaconda progress artwork is:
        c489c0

        c489c0
        trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/Modern/Distro/Anaconda/Progress
        c489c0
        c489c0

        and its translation entry is:

        c489c0

        c489c0
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/Anaconda/Progress
        c489c0
        c489c0

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

        c489c0
        directory, also how static values (e.g., Identity, Themes, Distro,
        c489c0
        etc.) in the identity's entry path remain in translation's entry path,
        c489c0
        and how variable values like theme names (e.g., Modern) are stript out
        c489c0
        from translation's entry path. The same convenction can be applied to
        c489c0
        other identity entries in order to determine their translation
        c489c0
        entries, or to other translation entries to determine their identity
        c489c0
        entries.
        c489c0

        c489c0
        info

        Note

        Translation entries related to identity entries under

        c489c0
        <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs'</tt> do not use <tt>`Motifs/'</tt> in the
        c489c0
        path.  We've done this because <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Models'</tt>
        c489c0
        structure, the other structure under <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes'</tt>,
        c489c0
        doesn't require translation paths so far. So in the sake of saving
        c489c0
        characters space when building translation entries for
        c489c0
        <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs'</tt> structure, we organize Motifs
        c489c0
        translation entries under <tt>`trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/'</tt>
        c489c0
        directly. 
        c489c0

        c489c0

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

        c489c0
        requires translation entries, we need to re-oraganize the current
        c489c0
        directory structure accordingly.
        c489c0

        4224f4
        c489c0

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

        c489c0
        identity entries. For example the following identity entries:
        c489c0

        c489c0
        trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/Modern/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        c489c0
        trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/TreeFlower/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        c489c0
        trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/Mettle/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        c489c0
        c489c0

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

        c489c0
        Anaconda progress translation entry (the one shown in our example
        c489c0
        above). This way, you can create several identity entries and maintain
        c489c0
        just one translation entry for all of them.  Once you change the
        c489c0
        translation files inside the common translation entry, changes inside
        c489c0
        identity entries will take effect inside the next you render them.
        c489c0

        c489c0

        Trying to make things plain and simple: inside CentOS Artwork

        c489c0
        Repository, graphic designers can concentrate their efforts in
        c489c0
        artworks look and feel (the identity entries), and translators in
        c489c0
        artworks translations (the translation entries).

        3.50.2.2 Translation Markers

        c489c0

        c489c0
        c489c0

        c489c0

        Translation markers are used in "Theme Model Designs" and

        c489c0
        "Translation Files" as replacement patterns to commit content
        c489c0
        translation.  When you are rendering content using
        c489c0
        centos-art script inisde <tt>`trunk/Identity'</tt> structure,
        c489c0
        artistic motifs and translation files are applied to model designs to
        c489c0
        produce translated content as result. In order to have the appropriate
        c489c0
        translation in content rendered, markers defintion in translation
        c489c0
        files should match markers in model designs exactly. 
        c489c0

        c489c0
        c489c0

        Translation Markers

        c489c0
        c489c0

        c489c0

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

        c489c0
        we use the following to represent releases of CentOS distribution:
        c489c0

        c489c0
        c489c0
        <samp>`=MINOR_RELEASE='</samp>
        c489c0

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

        c489c0
        release is represented by the N letter.
        c489c0

        c489c0
        <samp>`=MAJOR_RELEASE='</samp>
        c489c0

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

        c489c0
        the major release is represented by the M letter.
        c489c0

        c489c0
        <samp>`=RELEASE='</samp>
        c489c0

        Replace the full release of CentOS distribution. It is

        c489c0
        <samp>`=MAJOR_RELEASE=.=MINOR_RELEASE='</samp> basically. 
        c489c0

        c489c0
        c489c0
        c489c0

        Specific translation markers convenctions are described inside

        c489c0
        specific translation entries. Read translation entries documentation
        c489c0
        to know more about supported translation markers.
        c489c0

        c489c0

        Translation markers standardization creates a common point of

        c489c0
        reference for translators and graphic designers. To have translation
        c489c0
        markers well defined makes possible that translators and graphic
        c489c0
        designers can work together but independently one another.
        c489c0

        c489c0
        c489c0
        c489c0

        3.50.2.3 Translation Files

        c489c0
        c489c0

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

        c489c0
        replacement commands mainly. As convenction, translation file names
        c489c0
        end in <samp>`.sed'</samp>. Translation files are used by centos-art
        c489c0
        script to produce translated artworks for specific major releases of
        c489c0
        CentOS Distribution. There are common translation files, specific
        c489c0
        translation, and template translation files.
        c489c0

        c489c0

        For example, the Firstboot artwork of CentOS distribution uses the

        c489c0
        images <tt>`splash-small.png'</tt> and <tt>`firstboot-left.png'</tt> as based
        c489c0
        to control its visual style. The <tt>`splash-small.png'</tt> image
        c489c0
        contains, in its graphic design, the release number information of
        c489c0
        CentOS distribution. So the <tt>`splash-small.png'</tt> is
        c489c0
        release-specific. In the other hand, the <tt>`firstboot-left.png'</tt>
        c489c0
        doesn't contain release number information. So the
        c489c0
        <tt>`firstboot-left.png'</tt> is not release-specific.
        c489c0

        c489c0

        If we want to produce Firstboot artwork for different major releases

        c489c0
        of CentOS distribution, using a monolithic visual identity, all
        c489c0
        Firstboot images should have the same visual style and, at the same
        c489c0
        time, the release-specific information in the release-specific images. 
        c489c0

        c489c0
        info

        Note

        The monolithic visual identity is implemented using

        c489c0
        theme models (see section trunk/Identity/Themes/Models) and artistic
        c489c0
        motifs (see section trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs).
        c489c0

        c489c0
        c489c0

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

        c489c0
        the initial translation entry to produce Firstboot artworks would look
        c489c0
        like the following:
        c489c0

        c489c0
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/BootUp/Firstboot/
        c489c0
        |-- Tpl
        c489c0
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        c489c0
        `-- firstboot-left.sed
        c489c0
        c489c0

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

        c489c0
        to produce the image <tt>`firstboot-left.png'</tt> only. To produce
        c489c0
        <tt>`splash-small.png'</tt> images for major releases (e.g., 3, 4, 5, and
        c489c0
        6) of CentOS distribution we need to produce the release-specific
        c489c0
        translation files using the centos-art script as following:
        c489c0

        c489c0
        centos-art render --entry=/home/centos/artwork/trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/BootUp/Firstboot --filter='3,4,5,6'
        c489c0
        c489c0

        The above command produces the following translation entiry:

        c489c0

        c489c0
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/BootUp/Firstboot/
        c489c0
        |-- 3
        c489c0
        |   `-- splash-small.sed

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

        c489c0
        artwork images for major releases of CentOS distribution. To add new
        c489c0
        release-specific translation files, run the translation rendering
        c489c0
        command with the release number you want to produce translation files
        c489c0
        for in the <samp>`--filter='release-number''</samp> argument.

        3.50.2.4 Template Translation Files

        c489c0
        c489c0

        Template translation files are translation files stored inside

        c489c0
        translation template directory. Template translation files are used by
        c489c0
        centos-art script to produce specific translation files
        c489c0
        only. Template translation files may be empty or contain
        c489c0
        sed's replacement commands. If template translation files
        c489c0
        are empty files, the final specifc translation file built from it
        c489c0
        contains release-specific replacement commands only. For example,
        c489c0
        see the following translation entry:
        c489c0

        c489c0
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/BootUp/Firstboot/
        c489c0
        |-- 3
        c489c0
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        c489c0
        |-- 4
        c489c0
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        c489c0
        |-- 5
        c489c0
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        c489c0
        |-- 6
        c489c0
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        c489c0
        |-- Tpl
        c489c0
        |   `-- splash-small.sed    <-- template translation file.
        c489c0
        `-- firstboot-left.sed
        c489c0
        c489c0

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

        c489c0
        translation file and looks like:
        c489c0

        c489c0
        # -------------------------------------
        c489c0
        # $Id: splash-small.sed 94 2010-09-18 10:59:42Z al $
        c489c0
        # -------------------------------------
        c489c0
        c489c0

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

        c489c0
        but when you render it, the centos-art adds the
        c489c0
        release-specific replacement commands. In our Firstboot example, after
        c489c0
        rendering Firstboot translation entry, the <tt>`splash-small.sed'</tt>
        c489c0
        translation file specific to CentOS 5, looks like the following:
        c489c0

        c489c0
        # Warning: Do not modify this file directly. This file is created
        c489c0
        # automatically using 'centos-art' command line interface.  Any change
        c489c0
        # you do in this file will be lost the next time you update
        c489c0
        # translation files using 'centos-art' command line interface. If you
        c489c0
        # want to improve the content of this translation file, improve its
        c489c0
        # template file instead and run the 'centos-art' command line
        c489c0
        # interface later to propagate your changes.
        c489c0
        # -------------------------------------
        c489c0
        # $Id: splash-small.sed 94 2010-09-18 10:59:42Z al $
        c489c0
        # -------------------------------------
        c489c0
        c489c0
        # Release number information.
        c489c0
        s!=RELEASE=!=MAJOR_RELEASE=.=MINOR_RELEASE=!g
        c489c0
        s!=MINOR_RELEASE=!0!g
        c489c0
        s!=MAJOR_RELEASE=!5!g
        c489c0
        c489c0

        If template translation files are not empty, replacement commands

        c489c0
        inside template translation files are preserved inside
        c489c0
        release-specific translation files.  For example, consider the English
        c489c0
        template translation file of Anaconda progress welcome slide.  The
        c489c0
        translation template directory structure looks like the following:
        c489c0

        c489c0
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        c489c0
        `-- Tpl
        c489c0
            `-- en
        c489c0
                `-- 01-welcome.sed
        c489c0
        c489c0

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

        c489c0
        releases, the translation entry would look like the following:
        c489c0

        c489c0
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        c489c0
        |-- 4
        c489c0
        |   `-- en
        c489c0
        |       `-- 01-welcome.sed
        c489c0
        |-- 5
        c489c0
        |   `-- en
        c489c0
        |       `-- 01-welcome.sed
        c489c0
        `-- Tpl
        c489c0
            `-- en
        c489c0
                `-- 01-welcome.sed
        c489c0
        c489c0
        info

        Note

        Release-specific translation directories preserve

        c489c0
        template translation directory structure and file names.
        c489c0

        c489c0
        c489c0

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

        c489c0
        following:
        c489c0

        c489c0
        # ------------------------------------------------------------
        c489c0
        # $Id: 01-welcome.sed 94 2010-09-18 10:59:42Z al $

        s!=URL=!http://www.centos.org/!
        c489c0
        c489c0

        and, after render the translation entry, specific translation files

        c489c0
        look like the following:
        c489c0

        c489c0
        # Warning: Do not modify this file directly. This file is created
        c489c0

        c489c0

        c489c0
        s/=TEXT5=//

        s/=TEXT6=//
        c489c0

        c489c0

        c489c0
        s!=MINOR_RELEASE=!0!g
        c489c0
        s!=MAJOR_RELEASE=!5!g
        c489c0
        c489c0

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

        c489c0
        followed by a separation character (e.g., <samp>`/'</samp>, <samp>`!'</samp>, etc.).
        c489c0
        These lines have the following format:
        c489c0

        c489c0
        s/REGEXP/REPLACEMENT/FLAGS
        c489c0
        c489c0

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

        c489c0
        character within any given s command.  The <samp>`/'</samp>
        c489c0
        character (or whatever other character is used in its stead) can
        c489c0
        appear in the REGEXP or REPLACEMENT only if it is preceded by a
        c489c0
        <samp>`\'</samp> character.
        c489c0

        c489c0

        The s command is probably the most important in

        c489c0
        sed and has a lot of different options.  Its basic concept
        c489c0
        is simple: the s command attempts to match the pattern space
        c489c0
        against the supplied REGEXP; if the match is successful, then that
        c489c0
        portion of the pattern space which was matched is replaced with
        c489c0
        REPLACEMENT.
        c489c0

        c489c0

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

        c489c0
        define translation markers and REPLACEMENT where you define the
        c489c0
        translation text you want to have after artworks rendering.  Sometimes
        c489c0
        we use the FLAG component with the <samp>`g'</samp> command to apply the
        c489c0
        replacements globally.
        c489c0

        c489c0
        Info

        Tip

        More information about how to use sed's

        c489c0
        replacement commands and flags is available in sed's
        c489c0
        documentation manual. To read sed's documentation manual type the
        c489c0
        following command: 
        c489c0

        info sed
        c489c0
        c489c0
        c489c0

        Inside translation files, you can use translation markers not only

        c489c0
        inside the REGEXP but in the REPLACEMENT too. In order for this
        c489c0
        configuration to work, the REPLACEMENT of translation markers needs to
        c489c0
        be define after its definition. For example, see in the
        c489c0
        release-specific translation file above, how the
        c489c0
        <samp>`s!=MAJOR_RELASE=!5!g'</samp> replacement command is defined
        c489c0
        after <samp>`=MAJOR_RELASE='</samp> translation marker definition in
        c489c0
        the REPLACEMENT of <samp>`=TITLE='</samp> translation marker replacement
        c489c0
        command.

        3.50.2.5 Common Translation Files

        c489c0
        c489c0

        Common translation files contain common translations or no

        c489c0
        translation at all for their related artworks.  They are in the root
        c489c0
        directory of the translation entry. Common translation files create
        c489c0
        common artworks for all major releases of CentOS Distribution. 
        c489c0

        c489c0

        Translation entries, with common translation files inside, look like

        c489c0
        the following:
        c489c0

        c489c0
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/BootUp/Firstboot/

        c489c0
        `-- firstboot-left.sed      <-- common translation file.
        c489c0
        c489c0
        c489c0
        c489c0

        3.50.2.6 Specific Translation Files

        c489c0
        c489c0

        Specific translation files contain specific translations for their

        c489c0
        related artworks. Specific translation files are not in the root
        c489c0
        directory of the translation entry, but inside directories which
        c489c0
        describe the type of translation they are doing. Specific translation
        c489c0
        files are produced automatically using the centos-art
        c489c0
        script.
        c489c0

        c489c0

        c489c0
        |-- 4
        c489c0
        |   `-- splash-small.sed    <-- CentOS 4 specific translation file.
        c489c0
        |-- 5
        c489c0
        |   `-- splash-small.sed    <-- CentOS 5 specific translation file.
        c489c0
        |-- 6
        c489c0
        |   `-- splash-small.sed    <-- CentOS 6 specific translation file.

        c489c0
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        c489c0
        `-- firstboot-left.sed
        c489c0
        c489c0
        c489c0
        c489c0

        3.50.2.7 Translation Rendering

        c489c0
        c489c0

        When rendering translations, the centos-art script checks

        c489c0
        the translation entry to verify that it has a translation template
        c489c0
        directory inside. The translation template directory (<tt>`Tpl/'</tt>)
        c489c0
        contains common translation files used to build release-specific
        c489c0
        translation files. If the translation template directory doesn't exist
        c489c0
        inside the translation entry the translation rendering fails. In this
        c489c0
        case the centos-art script outputs a message and quits
        c489c0
        script execution.
        c489c0

        c489c0
        c489c0
        c489c0

        3.50.2.8 Translation (Pre-)Rendering Configuration Scripts

        c489c0
        c489c0

        When the centos-art script finds a translation template

        c489c0
        directory inside translation entry, it looks for translations
        c489c0
        pre-rendering configuration scripts for that translation entry.
        c489c0
        Translation pre-rendering configuration scripts let you extend
        c489c0
        translation's default functionality (described below). 
        c489c0

        c489c0

        Translation pre-rendering configuration scripts are stored under

        c489c0
        <tt>`trunk/Scripts'</tt> directory, specifically under the appropriate
        c489c0
        language implementation. If you are using centos-art Bash's
        c489c0
        implementation, the translation pre-rendering scripts are store in the
        c489c0
        <tt>`trunk/Scripts/Bash/Config'</tt> location; if you are using
        c489c0
        centos-art Python's implementation, then translation
        c489c0
        pre-rendering scripts are stored in the
        c489c0
        <tt>`trunk/Scripts/Python/Config'</tt> location, and so on for other
        c489c0
        implementations.
        c489c0

        c489c0

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

        c489c0
        following:
        c489c0

        c489c0
        #!/bin/bash
        c489c0
        #
        c489c0
        # render_loadConfig.sh -- brief description here.

        }
        c489c0
        c489c0

        Translation pre-rendering scripts are function scripts loaded and

        c489c0
        executed when rendering a translation entry. Translation pre-rendering
        c489c0
        scripts are loaded using the translation entry being rendered as
        c489c0
        reference. For example, suppose you are using the
        c489c0
        centos-art Bash's implementation, and you are rendering
        c489c0
        translations for CentOS brands, in this situation the translation
        c489c0
        entry would be:
        c489c0

        c489c0
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Brands
        c489c0
        c489c0

        and the entry inside the translation pre-rendering configuration

        c489c0
        structure would be:
        c489c0

        c489c0
        trunk/Scripts/Bash/Config/Identity/Brands
        c489c0
        c489c0

        Once the centos-art script detects that translation

        c489c0
        pre-rendering configuration directory exists, the centos-art
        c489c0
        script looks for the translation pre-rendering configuration file.  If
        c489c0
        the translation pre-rendering configuration file exists, it is loaded
        c489c0
        and executed.  Once the translation pre-rendering configuration file
        c489c0
        has been executed the translation rendering process is over, and so
        c489c0
        the script execution.
        c489c0

        c489c0
        info

        Note

        Translation pre-rendering configuration files have the

        c489c0
        following form:
        c489c0

        render.conf.extension
        c489c0

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

        c489c0
        you are using. For example, <samp>`sh'</samp> for Bash's, <samp>`py'</samp> for
        c489c0
        Python's, <samp>`pl'</samp> for Perl's, and so on for other implementations.
        c489c0

        c489c0
        c489c0

        As we are using Bash implementation to describe the translation

        c489c0
        pre-rendering configuration example, the translation pre-rendering
        c489c0
        configuration file that centos-art looks for, inside the
        c489c0
        above translation pre-rendering configuration directory, is
        c489c0
        <tt>`render.conf.sh'</tt>.

        3.50.2.9 Translation Rendering Default Functionality

        c489c0
        c489c0

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

        c489c0
        doesn't exist, or it isn't written as function script, the
        c489c0
        centos-art script ignore translation pre-rendering
        c489c0
        configuration functionality and passes to render translation using
        c489c0
        default functionality instead.
        c489c0

        c489c0

        The translation rendering default functionality takes template

        c489c0
        translation directory structure, duplicates it for each release number
        c489c0
        specified in the <samp>`--filter='release-number''</samp> argument and
        c489c0
        produces release-specific directories. As part of template translation
        c489c0
        duplication process take place, the centos-art script adds
        c489c0
        release-specific replacement commands to each specific translation
        c489c0
        file inside release-specific directories. As result, specific
        c489c0
        translation files, inside release-specific directories, contain
        c489c0
        template translation replacement commands plus,
        c489c0
        release-specific replacement commands.
        c489c0

        c489c0
        info

        Note

        Release-specific replacement commands are standardized

        c489c0
        inside centos-art script using predifined release
        c489c0
        translation markers. Release translation markers are described in the
        c489c0
        translation marker section
        c489c0
        (see Translation Markers).

        3.50.3 Usage

        c489c0
        c489c0
        c489c0
        <samp>`centos-art render --entry='path/to/dir''</samp>
        c489c0
        c489c0

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

        c489c0
        <samp>`trunk/Translations'</samp>, this command orverwrites available
        c489c0
        translation files using translation templates.
        c489c0

        c489c0
        c489c0
        <samp>`centos-art render --entry='path/to/dir' --filter='pattern''</samp>
        c489c0
        c489c0

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

        c489c0
        <tt>`trunk/Translations'</tt>, this command renders release-specific
        c489c0
        translation files as you specify in the <samp>`--filter='pattern''</samp>
        c489c0
        argument. In this case, <samp>`pattern'</samp> not a regular expression but an
        c489c0
        number (e.g., <samp>`5'</samp>) or a list of numbers separated by commas
        c489c0
        (e.g., <samp>`3,4,5,6'</samp>) that specify the major release of CentOS
        c489c0
        distribution you want to render translations for.
