    3.51.2 Description

    60c152
    0d952c

    When you create artwork for CentOS distribution you find that some

    0d952c
    artworks need to be created for different major releases of CentOS
    0d952c
    distribution and inside each major release they need to be created for
    0d952c
    different locales. To get an approximate idea of how many files we are
    0d952c
    talking about, consider the followig approximate statistic:
    0d952c

    035049
      0d952c
    • Inside CentOS distribution, there are around 30 images to
    • 0d952c
      rebrand.(2)
      0d952c
      0d952c
    • There are near to four major releases of CentOS distribution to
    • 0d952c
      rebrand in parallel development.(3) 
      0d952c
      0d952c
    • Each CentOS distribution in parallel development supports more
    • 0d952c
      than two hundreds locales.(4)
      035049
      e37211
      0d952c

      In order to aliviate maintainance of artwork production for such

      0d952c
      environment, we divided artwork production in three production lines:
      0d952c

      0d952c
        0d952c
      1. See section trunk/Identity/Themes/Models, to define artworks
      2. 0d952c
        characteristics (e.g., dimensions, position on the screen, etc.).
        0d952c
      3. See section trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs, to define artworks visual
      4. 0d952c
        styles (e.g., the look and feel).
        0d952c
      5. Translations, to define which major releases and locales
      6. 0d952c
        artworks are produced for. 
        0d952c
        0d952c
        0d952c

        Inside CentOS Artwork Repository, the artworks' translation production

        0d952c
        line is stored under <tt>`trunk/Translations'</tt> directory.
        0d952c

        0d952c

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

        0d952c
        entries" to organize artworks' "translation files" and artworks'
        0d952c
        "translation templates".
        0d952c

        0d952c
        0d952c
        0d952c

        3.51.2.1 Translation Entries

        0d952c
        0d952c

        Translation entries exists for each artwork you want to produce.

        0d952c
        Translation entries can be empty directories, or directories
        0d952c
        containing translation files and translation templates.  
        0d952c

        0d952c

        When translation entries are empty directories, the identity entry is

        0d952c
        used as reference to create file names and directories layout for
        0d952c
        rendered files.  In this case, the centos-art script takes
        0d952c
        one design template and outputs one non-translated file for each
        0d952c
        design template available.  This configuration is mainly used to
        0d952c
        produce non-translatable artworks like themes' backgrounds.
        0d952c

        0d952c

        When translation entries contain translation files, the translation

        0d952c
        entry implements the CentOS release schema and is used as reference to
        0d952c
        create file names and directories layout for translated artworks. In
        0d952c
        this case, the centos-art script applies one translation
        0d952c
        file to one design template to create one translated instance which is
        0d952c
        used to output one translated file. When the translated file is
        0d952c
        rendered, the centos-art script remove the previous instance
        0d952c
        and takes the next file in the list of translation files to repate the
        0d952c
        whole process once again, and so on for all files in the list. This
        0d952c
        configuration is mainly used to produce translatable artworks like
        0d952c
        Anaconda's progress slide images.
        0d952c

        0d952c

        To find out correspondence between translation entries and identity

        0d952c
        entries, you need to look the path of both translation entries and
        0d952c
        identity entries. For example, if you are using the Modern's artisitic
        0d952c
        motif, the identity entry for Anaconda progress artwork is:
        0d952c

        0d952c
        trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/Modern/Distro/Anaconda/Progress
        0d952c
        0d952c

        and its translation entry is:

        0d952c

        0d952c
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/Anaconda/Progress
        0d952c
        0d952c

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

        0d952c
        directory, also how static values (e.g., Identity, Themes, Distro,
        0d952c
        etc.) in the identity's entry path remain in translation's entry path,
        0d952c
        and how variable values like theme names (e.g., Modern) are stript out
        0d952c
        from translation's entry path. The same convenction can be applied to
        0d952c
        other identity entries in order to determine their translation
        0d952c
        entries, or to other translation entries to determine their identity
        0d952c
        entries.
        0d952c

        0d952c
        info

        Note

        Translation entries related to identity entries under

        0d952c
        <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs'</tt> do not use <tt>`Motifs/'</tt> in the
        0d952c
        path.  We've done this because <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Models'</tt>
        0d952c
        structure, the other structure under <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes'</tt>,
        0d952c
        doesn't require translation paths so far. So in the sake of saving
        0d952c
        characters space when building translation entries for
        0d952c
        <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs'</tt> structure, we organize Motifs
        0d952c
        translation entries under <tt>`trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/'</tt>
        0d952c
        directly. 
        0d952c

        0d952c

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

        0d952c
        requires translation entries, we need to re-oraganize the current
        0d952c
        directory structure accordingly.
        0d952c

        0d952c
        0d952c

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

        0d952c
        identity entries. For example the following identity entries:
        0d952c

        0d952c
        trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/Modern/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        0d952c
        trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/TreeFlower/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        0d952c
        trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/Mettle/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        0d952c
        0d952c

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

        0d952c
        Anaconda progress translation entry (the one shown in our example
        0d952c
        above). This way, you can create several identity entries and maintain
        0d952c
        just one translation entry for all of them.  Once you change the
        0d952c
        translation files inside the common translation entry, changes inside
        0d952c
        identity entries will take effect inside the next you render them.
        0d952c

        0d952c

        Trying to make things plain and simple: inside CentOS Artwork

        0d952c
        Repository, graphic designers can concentrate their efforts in
        0d952c
        artworks look and feel (the identity entries), and translators in
        0d952c
        artworks translations (the translation entries).

        0d952c
        0d952c

        0d952c

        Translation markers are used in "Theme Model Designs" and

        0d952c
        "Translation Files" as replacement patterns to commit content
        0d952c
        translation.  When you are rendering content using
        0d952c
        centos-art script inisde <tt>`trunk/Identity'</tt> structure,
        0d952c
        artistic motifs and translation files are applied to model designs to
        0d952c
        produce translated content as result. In order to have the appropriate
        0d952c
        translation in content rendered, markers defintion in translation
        0d952c
        files should match markers in model designs exactly.

        0d952c

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

        0d952c
        we use the following to represent releases of CentOS distribution:
        0d952c

        0d952c
        0d952c
        <samp>`=MINOR_RELEASE='</samp>
        0d952c

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

        0d952c
        release is represented by the N letter.
        0d952c

        0d952c
        <samp>`=MAJOR_RELEASE='</samp>
        0d952c

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

        0d952c
        the major release is represented by the M letter.
        0d952c

        0d952c
        <samp>`=RELEASE='</samp>
        0d952c

        Replace the full release of CentOS distribution. It is

        0d952c
        <samp>`=MAJOR_RELEASE=.=MINOR_RELEASE='</samp> basically. 
        0d952c

        0d952c
        0d952c
        0d952c

        Specific translation markers convenctions are described inside

        0d952c
        specific translation entries. Read translation entries documentation
        0d952c
        to know more about supported translation markers.
        0d952c

        0d952c

        Translation markers standardization creates a common point of

        0d952c
        reference for translators and graphic designers. To have translation
        0d952c
        markers well defined makes possible that translators and graphic
        0d952c
        designers can work together but independently one another.
        0d952c

        0d952c
        0d952c

        3.51.2.3 Translation Files

        0d952c
        0d952c

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

        0d952c
        replacement commands mainly. As convenction, translation file names
        0d952c
        end in <samp>`.sed'</samp>. Translation files are used by centos-art
        0d952c
        script to produce translated artworks for specific major releases of
        0d952c
        CentOS Distribution. There are common translation files, specific
        0d952c
        translation, and template translation files.
        0d952c

        0d952c

        For example, the Firstboot artwork of CentOS distribution uses the

        0d952c
        images <tt>`splash-small.png'</tt> and <tt>`firstboot-left.png'</tt> as based
        0d952c
        to control its visual style. The <tt>`splash-small.png'</tt> image
        0d952c
        contains, in its graphic design, the release number information of
        0d952c
        CentOS distribution. So the <tt>`splash-small.png'</tt> is
        0d952c
        release-specific. In the other hand, the <tt>`firstboot-left.png'</tt>
        0d952c
        doesn't contain release number information. So the
        0d952c
        <tt>`firstboot-left.png'</tt> is not release-specific.
        0d952c

        0d952c

        If we want to produce Firstboot artwork for different major releases

        0d952c
        of CentOS distribution, using a monolithic visual identity, all
        0d952c
        Firstboot images should have the same visual style and, at the same
        0d952c
        time, the release-specific information in the release-specific images. 
        0d952c

        0d952c
        info

        Note

        The monolithic visual identity is implemented using

        0d952c
        theme models (see section trunk/Identity/Themes/Models) and artistic
        0d952c
        motifs (see section trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs).
        0d952c

        0d952c
        0d952c

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

        0d952c
        the initial translation entry to produce Firstboot artworks would look
        0d952c
        like the following:
        0d952c

        0d952c
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/BootUp/Firstboot/
        0d952c
        |-- Tpl
        0d952c
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        0d952c
        `-- firstboot-left.sed
        0d952c
        0d952c

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

        0d952c
        to produce the image <tt>`firstboot-left.png'</tt> only. To produce
        0d952c
        <tt>`splash-small.png'</tt> images for major releases (e.g., 3, 4, 5, and
        0d952c
        6) of CentOS distribution we need to produce the release-specific
        0d952c
        translation files using the centos-art script as following:
        0d952c

        0d952c
        centos-art render --entry=/home/centos/artwork/trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/BootUp/Firstboot --filter='3,4,5,6'
        0d952c
        0d952c

        The above command produces the following translation entiry:

        0d952c

        0d952c
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/BootUp/Firstboot/
        0d952c

        `-- firstboot-left.sed
        0d952c
        0d952c

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

        0d952c
        artwork images for major releases of CentOS distribution. To add new
        0d952c
        release-specific translation files, run the translation rendering
        0d952c
        command with the release number you want to produce translation files
        0d952c
        for in the <samp>`--filter='release-number''</samp> argument.

        3.51.2.4 Template Translation Files

        0d952c
        0d952c

        Template translation files are translation files stored inside

        0d952c
        translation template directory. Template translation files are used by
        0d952c
        centos-art script to produce specific translation files
        0d952c
        only. Template translation files may be empty or contain
        0d952c
        sed's replacement commands. If template translation files
        0d952c
        are empty files, the final specifc translation file built from it
        0d952c
        contains release-specific replacement commands only. For example,
        0d952c
        see the following translation entry:
        0d952c

        0d952c
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/BootUp/Firstboot/
        0d952c
        |-- 3
        0d952c
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        0d952c
        |-- 4
        0d952c
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        0d952c
        |-- 5
        0d952c
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        0d952c
        |-- 6
        0d952c
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        0d952c
        |-- Tpl
        0d952c
        |   `-- splash-small.sed    <-- template translation file.
        0d952c
        `-- firstboot-left.sed
        0d952c
        0d952c

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

        0d952c
        translation file and looks like:
        0d952c

        0d952c
        # -------------------------------------
        0d952c
        # $Id: splash-small.sed 94 2010-09-18 10:59:42Z al $
        0d952c
        # -------------------------------------
        0d952c
        0d952c

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

        0d952c
        but when you render it, the centos-art adds the
        0d952c
        release-specific replacement commands. In our Firstboot example, after
        0d952c
        rendering Firstboot translation entry, the <tt>`splash-small.sed'</tt>
        0d952c
        translation file specific to CentOS 5, looks like the following:
        0d952c

        0d952c
        # Warning: Do not modify this file directly. This file is created
        0d952c
        # automatically using 'centos-art' command line interface.  Any change
        0d952c
        # you do in this file will be lost the next time you update
        0d952c
        # translation files using 'centos-art' command line interface. If you
        0d952c
        # want to improve the content of this translation file, improve its
        0d952c
        # template file instead and run the 'centos-art' command line
        0d952c
        # interface later to propagate your changes.
        0d952c
        # -------------------------------------
        0d952c
        # $Id: splash-small.sed 94 2010-09-18 10:59:42Z al $
        0d952c
        # -------------------------------------
        0d952c
        0d952c
        # Release number information.
        0d952c
        s!=RELEASE=!=MAJOR_RELEASE=.=MINOR_RELEASE=!g
        0d952c
        s!=MINOR_RELEASE=!0!g
        0d952c
        s!=MAJOR_RELEASE=!5!g
        0d952c
        0d952c

        If template translation files are not empty, replacement commands

        0d952c
        inside template translation files are preserved inside
        0d952c
        release-specific translation files.  For example, consider the English
        0d952c
        template translation file of Anaconda progress welcome slide.  The
        0d952c
        translation template directory structure looks like the following:
        0d952c

        0d952c
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        0d952c
        `-- Tpl
        0d952c
            `-- en
        0d952c
                `-- 01-welcome.sed
        0d952c
        0d952c

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

        0d952c
        releases, the translation entry would look like the following:
        0d952c

        0d952c
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        0d952c
        |-- 4
        0d952c
        |   `-- en
        0d952c
        |       `-- 01-welcome.sed
        0d952c
        |-- 5
        0d952c
        |   `-- en
        0d952c
        |       `-- 01-welcome.sed
        0d952c
        `-- Tpl
        0d952c
            `-- en
        0d952c
                `-- 01-welcome.sed
        0d952c
        0d952c
        info

        Note

        Release-specific translation directories preserve

        0d952c
        template translation directory structure and file names.
        0d952c

        0d952c
        0d952c

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

        0d952c
        following:
        0d952c

        0d952c
        # ------------------------------------------------------------
        0d952c

        s!=URL=!http://www.centos.org/!
        0d952c
        0d952c

        and, after render the translation entry, specific translation files

        0d952c
        look like the following:
        0d952c

        0d952c
        # Warning: Do not modify this file directly. This file is created
        0d952c

        s!=MAJOR_RELEASE=!5!g
        0d952c
        0d952c

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

        0d952c
        followed by a separation character (e.g., <samp>`/'</samp>, <samp>`!'</samp>, etc.).
        0d952c
        These lines have the following format:
        0d952c

        0d952c
        s/REGEXP/REPLACEMENT/FLAGS
        0d952c
        0d952c

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

        0d952c
        character within any given s command.  The <samp>`/'</samp>
        0d952c
        character (or whatever other character is used in its stead) can
        0d952c
        appear in the REGEXP or REPLACEMENT only if it is preceded by a
        0d952c
        <samp>`\'</samp> character.
        0d952c

        0d952c

        The s command is probably the most important in

        0d952c
        sed and has a lot of different options.  Its basic concept
        0d952c
        is simple: the s command attempts to match the pattern space
        0d952c
        against the supplied REGEXP; if the match is successful, then that
        0d952c
        portion of the pattern space which was matched is replaced with
        0d952c
        REPLACEMENT.
        0d952c

        0d952c

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

        0d952c
        define translation markers and REPLACEMENT where you define the
        0d952c
        translation text you want to have after artworks rendering.  Sometimes
        0d952c
        we use the FLAG component with the <samp>`g'</samp> command to apply the
        0d952c
        replacements globally.
        0d952c

        0d952c
        Info

        Tip

        More information about how to use sed's

        0d952c
        replacement commands and flags is available in sed's
        0d952c
        documentation manual. To read sed's documentation manual type the
        0d952c
        following command: 
        0d952c

        info sed
        0d952c
        0d952c
        0d952c

        Inside translation files, you can use translation markers not only

        0d952c
        inside the REGEXP but in the REPLACEMENT too. In order for this
        0d952c
        configuration to work, the REPLACEMENT of translation markers needs to
        0d952c
        be define after its definition. For example, see in the
        0d952c
        release-specific translation file above, how the
        0d952c
        <samp>`s!=MAJOR_RELASE=!5!g'</samp> replacement command is defined
        0d952c
        after <samp>`=MAJOR_RELASE='</samp> translation marker definition in
        0d952c
        the REPLACEMENT of <samp>`=TITLE='</samp> translation marker replacement
        0d952c
        command.

        3.51.2.5 Common Translation Files

        0d952c
        0d952c

        Common translation files contain common translations or no

        0d952c
        translation at all for their related artworks.  They are in the root
        0d952c
        directory of the translation entry. Common translation files create
        0d952c
        common artworks for all major releases of CentOS Distribution. 
        0d952c

        0d952c

        Translation entries, with common translation files inside, look like

        0d952c
        the following:
        0d952c

        0d952c

        3.51.2.6 Specific Translation Files

        0d952c
        0d952c

        Specific translation files contain specific translations for their

        0d952c
        related artworks. Specific translation files are not in the root
        0d952c
        directory of the translation entry, but inside directories which
        0d952c
        describe the type of translation they are doing. Specific translation
        0d952c
        files are produced automatically using the centos-art
        0d952c
        script.

        3.51.2.7 Translation Rendering

        0d952c
        0d952c

        When rendering translations, the centos-art script checks

        0d952c
        the translation entry to verify that it has a translation template
        0d952c
        directory inside. The translation template directory (<tt>`Tpl/'</tt>)
        0d952c
        contains common translation files used to build release-specific
        0d952c
        translation files. If the translation template directory doesn't exist
        0d952c
        inside the translation entry the translation rendering fails. In this
        0d952c
        case the centos-art script outputs a message and quits
        0d952c
        script execution.

        3.51.2.8 Translation (Pre-)Rendering Configuration Scripts

        0d952c
        0d952c

        When the centos-art script finds a translation template

        0d952c
        directory inside translation entry, it looks for translations
        0d952c
        pre-rendering configuration scripts for that translation entry.
        0d952c
        Translation pre-rendering configuration scripts let you extend
        0d952c
        translation's default functionality (described below). 
        0d952c

        0d952c

        Translation pre-rendering configuration scripts are stored under

        0d952c
        <tt>`trunk/Scripts'</tt> directory, specifically under the appropriate
        0d952c
        language implementation. If you are using centos-art Bash's
        0d952c
        implementation, the translation pre-rendering scripts are store in the
        0d952c
        <tt>`trunk/Scripts/Bash/Config'</tt> location; if you are using
        0d952c
        centos-art Python's implementation, then translation
        0d952c
        pre-rendering scripts are stored in the
        0d952c
        <tt>`trunk/Scripts/Python/Config'</tt> location, and so on for other
        0d952c
        implementations.
        0d952c

        0d952c

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

        0d952c
        following:
        0d952c

        0d952c
        #!/bin/bash
        0d952c
        #

        Translation pre-rendering scripts are function scripts loaded and

        0d952c
        executed when rendering a translation entry. Translation pre-rendering
        0d952c
        scripts are loaded using the translation entry being rendered as
        0d952c
        reference. For example, suppose you are using the
        0d952c
        centos-art Bash's implementation, and you are rendering
        0d952c
        translations for CentOS brands, in this situation the translation
        0d952c
        entry would be:
        0d952c

        0d952c
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Brands
        0d952c
        0d952c

        and the entry inside the translation pre-rendering configuration

        0d952c
        structure would be:
        0d952c

        0d952c
        trunk/Scripts/Bash/Config/Identity/Brands
        0d952c
        0d952c

        Once the centos-art script detects that translation

        0d952c
        pre-rendering configuration directory exists, the centos-art
        0d952c
        script looks for the translation pre-rendering configuration file.  If
        0d952c
        the translation pre-rendering configuration file exists, it is loaded
        0d952c
        and executed.  Once the translation pre-rendering configuration file
        0d952c
        has been executed the translation rendering process is over, and so
        0d952c
        the script execution.
        0d952c

        0d952c
        info

        Note

        Translation pre-rendering configuration files have the

        0d952c
        following form:
        0d952c

        render.conf.extension
        0d952c

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

        0d952c
        you are using. For example, <samp>`sh'</samp> for Bash's, <samp>`py'</samp> for
        0d952c
        Python's, <samp>`pl'</samp> for Perl's, and so on for other implementations.
        0d952c

        0d952c
        0d952c

        As we are using Bash implementation to describe the translation

        0d952c
        pre-rendering configuration example, the translation pre-rendering
        0d952c
        configuration file that centos-art looks for, inside the
        0d952c
        above translation pre-rendering configuration directory, is
        0d952c
        <tt>`render.conf.sh'</tt>.

        3.51.2.9 Translation Rendering Default Functionality

        0d952c
        0d952c

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

        0d952c
        doesn't exist, or it isn't written as function script, the
        0d952c
        centos-art script ignore translation pre-rendering
        0d952c
        configuration functionality and passes to render translation using
        0d952c
        default functionality instead.
        0d952c

        0d952c

        The translation rendering default functionality takes template

        0d952c
        translation directory structure, duplicates it for each release number
        0d952c
        specified in the <samp>`--filter='release-number''</samp> argument and
        0d952c
        produces release-specific directories. As part of template translation
        0d952c
        duplication process take place, the centos-art script adds
        0d952c
        release-specific replacement commands to each specific translation
        0d952c
        file inside release-specific directories. As result, specific
        0d952c
        translation files, inside release-specific directories, contain
        0d952c
        template translation replacement commands plus,
        0d952c
        release-specific replacement commands.
        0d952c

        0d952c
        info

        Note

        Release-specific replacement commands are standardized

        0d952c
        inside centos-art script using predifined release
        0d952c
        translation markers. Release translation markers are described in the
        0d952c
        translation marker section
        0d952c
        (see Translation Markers).

        <samp>`centos-art render --entry='path/to/dir''</samp>
        0d952c
        0d952c

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

        0d952c
        <samp>`trunk/Translations'</samp>, this command orverwrites available
        0d952c
        translation files using translation templates.
        0d952c

        0d952c
        0d952c
        <samp>`centos-art render --entry='path/to/dir' --filter='pattern''</samp>
        0d952c
        0d952c

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

        0d952c
        <tt>`trunk/Translations'</tt>, this command renders release-specific
        0d952c
        translation files as you specify in the <samp>`--filter='pattern''</samp>
        0d952c
        argument. In this case, <samp>`pattern'</samp> not a regular expression but an
        0d952c
        number (e.g., <samp>`5'</samp>) or a list of numbers separated by commas
        0d952c
        (e.g., <samp>`3,4,5,6'</samp>) that specify the major release of CentOS
        0d952c
        distribution you want to render translations for.
