    3.51.2 Description

    60c152
    49b888

    When you create artwork for CentOS distribution you find that some

    49b888
    artworks need to be created for different major releases of CentOS
    49b888
    distribution and inside each major release they need to be created for
    49b888
    different locales. To get an approximate idea of how many files we are
    49b888
    talking about, consider the followig approximate statistic:
    49b888

    035049
      49b888
    • Inside CentOS distribution, there are around 30 images to
    • 49b888
      rebrand.(2)
      49b888
      49b888
    • There are near to four major releases of CentOS distribution to
    • 49b888
      rebrand in parallel development.(3) 
      49b888
      49b888
    • Each CentOS distribution in parallel development supports more
    • 49b888
      than two hundreds locales.(4)
      035049
      e37211
      49b888

      In order to aliviate maintainance of artwork production for such

      49b888
      environment, we divided artwork production in three production lines:
      49b888

      49b888
        49b888
      1. See section trunk/Identity/Themes/Models, to define artworks
      2. 49b888
        characteristics (e.g., dimensions, position on the screen, etc.).
        49b888
      3. See section trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs, to define artworks visual
      4. 49b888
        styles (e.g., the look and feel).
        49b888
      5. Translations, to define which major releases and locales
      6. 49b888
        artworks are produced for. 
        49b888
        49b888
        49b888

        Inside CentOS Artwork Repository, the artworks' translation production

        49b888
        line is stored under <tt>`trunk/Translations'</tt> directory.
        49b888

        49b888

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

        49b888
        entries" to organize artworks' "translation files" and artworks'
        49b888
        "translation templates".
        49b888

        49b888
        49b888
        49b888

        3.51.2.1 Translation Entries

        49b888
        49b888

        Translation entries exists for each artwork you want to produce.

        49b888
        Translation entries can be empty directories, or directories
        49b888
        containing translation files and translation templates.  
        49b888

        49b888

        When translation entries are empty directories, the identity entry is

        49b888
        used as reference to create file names and directories layout for
        49b888
        rendered files.  In this case, the centos-art script takes
        49b888
        one design template and outputs one non-translated file for each
        49b888
        design template available.  This configuration is mainly used to
        49b888
        produce non-translatable artworks like themes' backgrounds.
        49b888

        49b888

        When translation entries contain translation files, the translation

        49b888
        entry implements the CentOS release schema and is used as reference to
        49b888
        create file names and directories layout for translated artworks. In
        49b888
        this case, the centos-art script applies one translation
        49b888
        file to one design template to create one translated instance which is
        49b888
        used to output one translated file. When the translated file is
        49b888
        rendered, the centos-art script remove the previous instance
        49b888
        and takes the next file in the list of translation files to repate the
        49b888
        whole process once again, and so on for all files in the list. This
        49b888
        configuration is mainly used to produce translatable artworks like
        49b888
        Anaconda's progress slide images.
        49b888

        49b888

        To find out correspondence between translation entries and identity

        49b888
        entries, you need to look the path of both translation entries and
        49b888
        identity entries. For example, if you are using the Modern's artisitic
        49b888
        motif, the identity entry for Anaconda progress artwork is:
        49b888

        49b888
        trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/Modern/Distro/Anaconda/Progress
        49b888
        49b888

        and its translation entry is:

        49b888

        49b888
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/Anaconda/Progress
        49b888
        49b888

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

        49b888
        directory, also how static values (e.g., Identity, Themes, Distro,
        49b888
        etc.) in the identity's entry path remain in translation's entry path,
        49b888
        and how variable values like theme names (e.g., Modern) are stript out
        49b888
        from translation's entry path. The same convenction can be applied to
        49b888
        other identity entries in order to determine their translation
        49b888
        entries, or to other translation entries to determine their identity
        49b888
        entries.
        49b888

        49b888
        info

        Note

        Translation entries related to identity entries under

        49b888
        <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs'</tt> do not use <tt>`Motifs/'</tt> in the
        49b888
        path.  We've done this because <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Models'</tt>
        49b888
        structure, the other structure under <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes'</tt>,
        49b888
        doesn't require translation paths so far. So in the sake of saving
        49b888
        characters space when building translation entries for
        49b888
        <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs'</tt> structure, we organize Motifs
        49b888
        translation entries under <tt>`trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/'</tt>
        49b888
        directly. 
        49b888

        49b888

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

        49b888
        requires translation entries, we need to re-oraganize the current
        49b888
        directory structure accordingly.
        49b888

        49b888
        49b888

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

        49b888
        identity entries. For example the following identity entries:
        49b888

        49b888
        trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/Modern/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        49b888
        trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/TreeFlower/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        49b888
        trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/Mettle/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        49b888
        49b888

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

        49b888
        Anaconda progress translation entry (the one shown in our example
        49b888
        above). This way, you can create several identity entries and maintain
        49b888
        just one translation entry for all of them.  Once you change the
        49b888
        translation files inside the common translation entry, changes inside
        49b888
        identity entries will take effect inside the next you render them.
        49b888

        49b888

        Trying to make things plain and simple: inside CentOS Artwork

        49b888
        Repository, graphic designers can concentrate their efforts in
        49b888
        artworks look and feel (the identity entries), and translators in
        49b888
        artworks translations (the translation entries).
        49b888

        49b888

        3.51.2.2 Translation Markers

        49b888

        49b888
        49b888

        49b888

        Translation markers are used in "Theme Model Designs" and

        49b888
        "Translation Files" as replacement patterns to commit content
        49b888
        translation.  When you are rendering content using
        49b888
        centos-art script inisde <tt>`trunk/Identity'</tt> structure,
        49b888
        artistic motifs and translation files are applied to model designs to
        49b888
        produce translated content as result. In order to have the appropriate
        49b888
        translation in content rendered, markers defintion in translation
        49b888
        files should match markers in model designs exactly. 
        49b888

        49b888
        49b888

        Translation Markers

        49b888
        49b888

        49b888

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

        49b888
        we use the following to represent releases of CentOS distribution:
        49b888

        49b888
        49b888
        <samp>`=MINOR_RELEASE='</samp>
        49b888

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

        49b888
        release is represented by the N letter.
        49b888

        49b888
        <samp>`=MAJOR_RELEASE='</samp>
        49b888

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

        49b888
        the major release is represented by the M letter.
        49b888

        49b888
        <samp>`=RELEASE='</samp>
        49b888

        Replace the full release of CentOS distribution. It is

        49b888
        <samp>`=MAJOR_RELEASE=.=MINOR_RELEASE='</samp> basically. 
        49b888

        49b888
        49b888
        49b888

        Specific translation markers convenctions are described inside

        49b888
        specific translation entries. Read translation entries documentation
        49b888
        to know more about supported translation markers.
        49b888

        49b888

        Translation markers standardization creates a common point of

        49b888
        reference for translators and graphic designers. To have translation
        49b888
        markers well defined makes possible that translators and graphic
        49b888
        designers can work together but independently one another.
        49b888

        49b888
        49b888
        49b888

        3.51.2.3 Translation Files

        49b888
        49b888

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

        49b888
        replacement commands mainly. As convenction, translation file names
        49b888
        end in <samp>`.sed'</samp>. Translation files are used by centos-art
        49b888
        script to produce translated artworks for specific major releases of
        49b888
        CentOS Distribution. There are common translation files, specific
        49b888
        translation, and template translation files.
        49b888

        49b888

        For example, the Firstboot artwork of CentOS distribution uses the

        49b888
        images <tt>`splash-small.png'</tt> and <tt>`firstboot-left.png'</tt> as based
        49b888
        to control its visual style. The <tt>`splash-small.png'</tt> image
        49b888
        contains, in its graphic design, the release number information of
        49b888
        CentOS distribution. So the <tt>`splash-small.png'</tt> is
        49b888
        release-specific. In the other hand, the <tt>`firstboot-left.png'</tt>
        49b888
        doesn't contain release number information. So the
        49b888
        <tt>`firstboot-left.png'</tt> is not release-specific.
        49b888

        49b888

        If we want to produce Firstboot artwork for different major releases

        49b888
        of CentOS distribution, using a monolithic visual identity, all
        49b888
        Firstboot images should have the same visual style and, at the same
        49b888
        time, the release-specific information in the release-specific images. 
        49b888

        49b888
        info

        Note

        The monolithic visual identity is implemented using

        49b888
        theme models (see section trunk/Identity/Themes/Models) and artistic
        49b888
        motifs (see section trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs).
        49b888

        49b888
        49b888

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

        49b888
        the initial translation entry to produce Firstboot artworks would look
        49b888
        like the following:
        49b888

        49b888
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/BootUp/Firstboot/
        49b888
        |-- Tpl
        49b888
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        49b888
        `-- firstboot-left.sed
        49b888
        49b888

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

        49b888
        to produce the image <tt>`firstboot-left.png'</tt> only. To produce
        49b888
        <tt>`splash-small.png'</tt> images for major releases (e.g., 3, 4, 5, and
        49b888
        6) of CentOS distribution we need to produce the release-specific
        49b888
        translation files using the centos-art script as following:
        49b888

        49b888
        centos-art render --entry=/home/centos/artwork/trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/BootUp/Firstboot --filter='3,4,5,6'
        49b888
        49b888

        The above command produces the following translation entiry:

        49b888

        49b888
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/BootUp/Firstboot/
        49b888
        |-- 3
        49b888
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        49b888

        49b888
        `-- firstboot-left.sed
        49b888
        49b888

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

        49b888
        artwork images for major releases of CentOS distribution. To add new
        49b888
        release-specific translation files, run the translation rendering
        49b888
        command with the release number you want to produce translation files
        49b888
        for in the <samp>`--filter='release-number''</samp> argument.

        3.51.2.4 Template Translation Files

        49b888
        49b888

        Template translation files are translation files stored inside

        49b888
        translation template directory. Template translation files are used by
        49b888
        centos-art script to produce specific translation files
        49b888
        only. Template translation files may be empty or contain
        49b888
        sed's replacement commands. If template translation files
        49b888
        are empty files, the final specifc translation file built from it
        49b888
        contains release-specific replacement commands only. For example,
        49b888
        see the following translation entry:
        49b888

        49b888
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/BootUp/Firstboot/
        49b888
        |-- 3
        49b888
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        49b888
        |-- 4
        49b888
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        49b888
        |-- 5
        49b888
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        49b888
        |-- 6
        49b888
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        49b888
        |-- Tpl
        49b888
        |   `-- splash-small.sed    <-- template translation file.
        49b888
        `-- firstboot-left.sed
        49b888
        49b888

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

        49b888
        translation file and looks like:
        49b888

        49b888
        # -------------------------------------
        49b888
        # $Id: splash-small.sed 94 2010-09-18 10:59:42Z al $
        49b888
        # -------------------------------------
        49b888
        49b888

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

        49b888
        but when you render it, the centos-art adds the
        49b888
        release-specific replacement commands. In our Firstboot example, after
        49b888
        rendering Firstboot translation entry, the <tt>`splash-small.sed'</tt>
        49b888
        translation file specific to CentOS 5, looks like the following:
        49b888

        49b888
        # Warning: Do not modify this file directly. This file is created
        49b888
        # automatically using 'centos-art' command line interface.  Any change
        49b888
        # you do in this file will be lost the next time you update
        49b888
        # translation files using 'centos-art' command line interface. If you
        49b888
        # want to improve the content of this translation file, improve its
        49b888
        # template file instead and run the 'centos-art' command line
        49b888
        # interface later to propagate your changes.
        49b888
        # -------------------------------------
        49b888
        # $Id: splash-small.sed 94 2010-09-18 10:59:42Z al $
        49b888
        # -------------------------------------
        49b888
        49b888
        # Release number information.
        49b888
        s!=RELEASE=!=MAJOR_RELEASE=.=MINOR_RELEASE=!g
        49b888
        s!=MINOR_RELEASE=!0!g
        49b888
        s!=MAJOR_RELEASE=!5!g
        49b888
        49b888

        If template translation files are not empty, replacement commands

        49b888
        inside template translation files are preserved inside
        49b888
        release-specific translation files.  For example, consider the English
        49b888
        template translation file of Anaconda progress welcome slide.  The
        49b888
        translation template directory structure looks like the following:
        49b888

        49b888
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        49b888
        `-- Tpl
        49b888
            `-- en
        49b888
                `-- 01-welcome.sed
        49b888
        49b888

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

        49b888
        releases, the translation entry would look like the following:
        49b888

        49b888
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        49b888
        |-- 4
        49b888
        |   `-- en
        49b888
        |       `-- 01-welcome.sed
        49b888
        |-- 5
        49b888
        |   `-- en
        49b888
        |       `-- 01-welcome.sed
        49b888
        `-- Tpl
        49b888
            `-- en
        49b888
                `-- 01-welcome.sed
        49b888
        49b888
        info

        Note

        Release-specific translation directories preserve

        49b888
        template translation directory structure and file names.
        49b888

        49b888
        49b888

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

        49b888
        following:
        49b888

        49b888
        # ------------------------------------------------------------
        49b888
        # $Id: 01-welcome.sed 94 2010-09-18 10:59:42Z al $

        s!=URL=!http://www.centos.org/!
        49b888
        49b888

        and, after render the translation entry, specific translation files

        49b888
        look like the following:
        49b888

        49b888
        # Warning: Do not modify this file directly. This file is created
        49b888

        s!=MAJOR_RELEASE=!5!g
        49b888
        49b888

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

        49b888
        followed by a separation character (e.g., <samp>`/'</samp>, <samp>`!'</samp>, etc.).
        49b888
        These lines have the following format:
        49b888

        49b888
        s/REGEXP/REPLACEMENT/FLAGS
        49b888
        49b888

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

        49b888
        character within any given s command.  The <samp>`/'</samp>
        49b888
        character (or whatever other character is used in its stead) can
        49b888
        appear in the REGEXP or REPLACEMENT only if it is preceded by a
        49b888
        <samp>`\'</samp> character.
        49b888

        49b888

        The s command is probably the most important in

        49b888
        sed and has a lot of different options.  Its basic concept
        49b888
        is simple: the s command attempts to match the pattern space
        49b888
        against the supplied REGEXP; if the match is successful, then that
        49b888
        portion of the pattern space which was matched is replaced with
        49b888
        REPLACEMENT.
        49b888

        49b888

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

        49b888
        define translation markers and REPLACEMENT where you define the
        49b888
        translation text you want to have after artworks rendering.  Sometimes
        49b888
        we use the FLAG component with the <samp>`g'</samp> command to apply the
        49b888
        replacements globally.
        49b888

        49b888
        Info

        Tip

        More information about how to use sed's

        49b888
        replacement commands and flags is available in sed's
        49b888
        documentation manual. To read sed's documentation manual type the
        49b888
        following command: 
        49b888

        info sed
        49b888
        49b888
        49b888

        Inside translation files, you can use translation markers not only

        49b888
        inside the REGEXP but in the REPLACEMENT too. In order for this
        49b888
        configuration to work, the REPLACEMENT of translation markers needs to
        49b888
        be define after its definition. For example, see in the
        49b888
        release-specific translation file above, how the
        49b888
        <samp>`s!=MAJOR_RELASE=!5!g'</samp> replacement command is defined
        49b888
        after <samp>`=MAJOR_RELASE='</samp> translation marker definition in
        49b888
        the REPLACEMENT of <samp>`=TITLE='</samp> translation marker replacement
        49b888
        command.

        3.51.2.5 Common Translation Files

        49b888
        49b888

        Common translation files contain common translations or no

        49b888
        translation at all for their related artworks.  They are in the root
        49b888
        directory of the translation entry. Common translation files create
        49b888
        common artworks for all major releases of CentOS Distribution. 
        49b888

        49b888

        Translation entries, with common translation files inside, look like

        49b888
        the following:
        49b888

        49b888

        3.51.2.6 Specific Translation Files

        49b888
        49b888

        Specific translation files contain specific translations for their

        49b888
        related artworks. Specific translation files are not in the root
        49b888
        directory of the translation entry, but inside directories which
        49b888
        describe the type of translation they are doing. Specific translation
        49b888
        files are produced automatically using the centos-art
        49b888
        script.

        3.51.2.7 Translation Rendering

        49b888
        49b888

        When rendering translations, the centos-art script checks

        49b888
        the translation entry to verify that it has a translation template
        49b888
        directory inside. The translation template directory (<tt>`Tpl/'</tt>)
        49b888
        contains common translation files used to build release-specific
        49b888
        translation files. If the translation template directory doesn't exist
        49b888
        inside the translation entry the translation rendering fails. In this
        49b888
        case the centos-art script outputs a message and quits
        49b888
        script execution.

        3.51.2.8 Translation (Pre-)Rendering Configuration Scripts

        49b888
        49b888

        When the centos-art script finds a translation template

        49b888
        directory inside translation entry, it looks for translations
        49b888
        pre-rendering configuration scripts for that translation entry.
        49b888
        Translation pre-rendering configuration scripts let you extend
        49b888
        translation's default functionality (described below). 
        49b888

        49b888

        Translation pre-rendering configuration scripts are stored under

        49b888
        <tt>`trunk/Scripts'</tt> directory, specifically under the appropriate
        49b888
        language implementation. If you are using centos-art Bash's
        49b888
        implementation, the translation pre-rendering scripts are store in the
        49b888
        <tt>`trunk/Scripts/Bash/Config'</tt> location; if you are using
        49b888
        centos-art Python's implementation, then translation
        49b888
        pre-rendering scripts are stored in the
        49b888
        <tt>`trunk/Scripts/Python/Config'</tt> location, and so on for other
        49b888
        implementations.
        49b888

        49b888

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

        49b888
        following:
        49b888

        49b888
        #!/bin/bash
        49b888
        #
        49b888
        # render_loadConfig.sh -- brief description here.

        Translation pre-rendering scripts are function scripts loaded and

        49b888
        executed when rendering a translation entry. Translation pre-rendering
        49b888
        scripts are loaded using the translation entry being rendered as
        49b888
        reference. For example, suppose you are using the
        49b888
        centos-art Bash's implementation, and you are rendering
        49b888
        translations for CentOS brands, in this situation the translation
        49b888
        entry would be:
        49b888

        49b888
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Brands
        49b888
        49b888

        and the entry inside the translation pre-rendering configuration

        49b888
        structure would be:
        49b888

        49b888
        trunk/Scripts/Bash/Config/Identity/Brands
        49b888
        49b888

        Once the centos-art script detects that translation

        49b888
        pre-rendering configuration directory exists, the centos-art
        49b888
        script looks for the translation pre-rendering configuration file.  If
        49b888
        the translation pre-rendering configuration file exists, it is loaded
        49b888
        and executed.  Once the translation pre-rendering configuration file
        49b888
        has been executed the translation rendering process is over, and so
        49b888
        the script execution.
        49b888

        49b888
        info

        Note

        Translation pre-rendering configuration files have the

        49b888
        following form:
        49b888

        render.conf.extension
        49b888

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

        49b888
        you are using. For example, <samp>`sh'</samp> for Bash's, <samp>`py'</samp> for
        49b888
        Python's, <samp>`pl'</samp> for Perl's, and so on for other implementations.
        49b888

        49b888
        49b888

        As we are using Bash implementation to describe the translation

        49b888
        pre-rendering configuration example, the translation pre-rendering
        49b888
        configuration file that centos-art looks for, inside the
        49b888
        above translation pre-rendering configuration directory, is
        49b888
        <tt>`render.conf.sh'</tt>.

        3.51.2.9 Translation Rendering Default Functionality

        49b888
        49b888

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

        49b888
        doesn't exist, or it isn't written as function script, the
        49b888
        centos-art script ignore translation pre-rendering
        49b888
        configuration functionality and passes to render translation using
        49b888
        default functionality instead.
        49b888

        49b888

        The translation rendering default functionality takes template

        49b888
        translation directory structure, duplicates it for each release number
        49b888
        specified in the <samp>`--filter='release-number''</samp> argument and
        49b888
        produces release-specific directories. As part of template translation
        49b888
        duplication process take place, the centos-art script adds
        49b888
        release-specific replacement commands to each specific translation
        49b888
        file inside release-specific directories. As result, specific
        49b888
        translation files, inside release-specific directories, contain
        49b888
        template translation replacement commands plus,
        49b888
        release-specific replacement commands.
        49b888

        49b888
        info

        Note

        Release-specific replacement commands are standardized

        49b888
        inside centos-art script using predifined release
        49b888
        translation markers. Release translation markers are described in the
        49b888
        translation marker section
        49b888
        (see Translation Markers).

        3.51.3 Usage

        e37211
        49b888
        49b888
        <samp>`centos-art render --entry='path/to/dir''</samp>
        49b888
        49b888

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

        49b888
        <samp>`trunk/Translations'</samp>, this command orverwrites available
        49b888
        translation files using translation templates.
        49b888

        49b888
        49b888
        <samp>`centos-art render --entry='path/to/dir' --filter='pattern''</samp>
        49b888
        49b888

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

        49b888
        <tt>`trunk/Translations'</tt>, this command renders release-specific
        49b888
        translation files as you specify in the <samp>`--filter='pattern''</samp>
        49b888
        argument. In this case, <samp>`pattern'</samp> not a regular expression but an
        49b888
        number (e.g., <samp>`5'</samp>) or a list of numbers separated by commas
        49b888
        (e.g., <samp>`3,4,5,6'</samp>) that specify the major release of CentOS
        49b888
        distribution you want to render translations for.
