    3.51.2 Description

    60c152
    280c77

    When you create artwork for CentOS distribution you find that some

    280c77
    artworks need to be created for different major releases of CentOS
    280c77
    distribution and inside each major release they need to be created for
    280c77
    different locales. To get an approximate idea of how many files we are
    280c77
    talking about, consider the followig approximate statistic:
    280c77

    035049
      280c77
    • Inside CentOS distribution, there are around 30 images to
    • 280c77
      rebrand.(2)
      280c77
      280c77
    • There are near to four major releases of CentOS distribution to
    • 280c77
      rebrand in parallel development.(3) 
      280c77
      280c77
    • Each CentOS distribution in parallel development supports more
    • 280c77
      than two hundreds locales.(4)
      035049
      e37211
      280c77

      In order to aliviate maintainance of artwork production for such

      280c77
      environment, we divided artwork production in three production lines:
      280c77

      280c77
        280c77
      1. See section trunk/Identity/Themes/Models, to define artworks
      2. 280c77
        characteristics (e.g., dimensions, position on the screen, etc.).
        280c77
      3. See section trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs, to define artworks visual
      4. 280c77
        styles (e.g., the look and feel).
        280c77
      5. Translations, to define which major releases and locales
      6. 280c77
        artworks are produced for. 
        280c77
        280c77
        280c77

        Inside CentOS Artwork Repository, the artworks' translation production

        280c77
        line is stored under <tt>`trunk/Translations'</tt> directory.
        280c77

        280c77

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

        280c77
        entries" to organize artworks' "translation files" and artworks'
        280c77
        "translation templates".
        280c77

        280c77
        280c77
        280c77

        3.51.2.1 Translation Entries

        280c77
        280c77

        Translation entries exists for each artwork you want to produce.

        280c77
        Translation entries can be empty directories, or directories
        280c77
        containing translation files and translation templates.  
        280c77

        280c77

        When translation entries are empty directories, the identity entry is

        280c77
        used as reference to create file names and directories layout for
        280c77
        rendered files.  In this case, the centos-art script takes
        280c77
        one design template and outputs one non-translated file for each
        280c77
        design template available.  This configuration is mainly used to
        280c77
        produce non-translatable artworks like themes' backgrounds.
        280c77

        280c77

        When translation entries contain translation files, the translation

        280c77
        entry implements the CentOS release schema and is used as reference to
        280c77
        create file names and directories layout for translated artworks. In
        280c77
        this case, the centos-art script applies one translation
        280c77
        file to one design template to create one translated instance which is
        280c77
        used to output one translated file. When the translated file is
        280c77
        rendered, the centos-art script remove the previous instance
        280c77
        and takes the next file in the list of translation files to repate the
        280c77
        whole process once again, and so on for all files in the list. This
        280c77
        configuration is mainly used to produce translatable artworks like
        280c77
        Anaconda's progress slide images.
        280c77

        280c77

        To find out correspondence between translation entries and identity

        280c77
        entries, you need to look the path of both translation entries and
        280c77
        identity entries. For example, if you are using the Modern's artisitic
        280c77
        motif, the identity entry for Anaconda progress artwork is:
        280c77

        280c77
        trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/Modern/Distro/Anaconda/Progress
        280c77
        280c77

        and its translation entry is:

        280c77

        280c77
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/Anaconda/Progress
        280c77
        280c77

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

        280c77
        directory, also how static values (e.g., Identity, Themes, Distro,
        280c77
        etc.) in the identity's entry path remain in translation's entry path,
        280c77
        and how variable values like theme names (e.g., Modern) are stript out
        280c77
        from translation's entry path. The same convenction can be applied to
        280c77
        other identity entries in order to determine their translation
        280c77
        entries, or to other translation entries to determine their identity
        280c77
        entries.
        280c77

        280c77
        info

        Note

        Translation entries related to identity entries under

        280c77
        <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs'</tt> do not use <tt>`Motifs/'</tt> in the
        280c77
        path.  We've done this because <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Models'</tt>
        280c77
        structure, the other structure under <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes'</tt>,
        280c77
        doesn't require translation paths so far. So in the sake of saving
        280c77
        characters space when building translation entries for
        280c77
        <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs'</tt> structure, we organize Motifs
        280c77
        translation entries under <tt>`trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/'</tt>
        280c77
        directly. 
        280c77

        280c77

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

        280c77
        requires translation entries, we need to re-oraganize the current
        280c77
        directory structure accordingly.
        280c77

        280c77
        280c77

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

        280c77
        identity entries. For example the following identity entries:
        280c77

        280c77
        trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/Modern/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        280c77
        trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/TreeFlower/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        280c77
        trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/Mettle/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        280c77
        280c77

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

        280c77
        Anaconda progress translation entry (the one shown in our example
        280c77
        above). This way, you can create several identity entries and maintain
        280c77
        just one translation entry for all of them.  Once you change the
        280c77
        translation files inside the common translation entry, changes inside
        280c77
        identity entries will take effect inside the next you render them.
        280c77

        280c77

        Trying to make things plain and simple: inside CentOS Artwork

        280c77
        Repository, graphic designers can concentrate their efforts in
        280c77
        artworks look and feel (the identity entries), and translators in
        280c77
        artworks translations (the translation entries).
        280c77

        280c77
        280c77
        280c77

        3.51.2.2 Translation Markers

        280c77

        280c77
        280c77

        280c77

        Translation markers are used in "Theme Model Designs" and

        280c77
        "Translation Files" as replacement patterns to commit content
        280c77
        translation.  When you are rendering content using
        280c77
        centos-art script inisde <tt>`trunk/Identity'</tt> structure,
        280c77
        artistic motifs and translation files are applied to model designs to
        280c77
        produce translated content as result. In order to have the appropriate
        280c77
        translation in content rendered, markers defintion in translation
        280c77
        files should match markers in model designs exactly. 
        280c77

        280c77
        280c77

        Translation Markers

        280c77
        280c77

        280c77

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

        280c77
        we use the following to represent releases of CentOS distribution:
        280c77

        280c77
        280c77
        <samp>`=MINOR_RELEASE='</samp>
        280c77

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

        280c77
        release is represented by the N letter.
        280c77

        280c77
        <samp>`=MAJOR_RELEASE='</samp>
        280c77

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

        280c77
        the major release is represented by the M letter.
        280c77

        280c77
        <samp>`=RELEASE='</samp>
        280c77

        Replace the full release of CentOS distribution. It is

        280c77
        <samp>`=MAJOR_RELEASE=.=MINOR_RELEASE='</samp> basically. 
        280c77

        280c77
        280c77
        280c77

        Specific translation markers convenctions are described inside

        280c77
        specific translation entries. Read translation entries documentation
        280c77
        to know more about supported translation markers.
        280c77

        280c77

        Translation markers standardization creates a common point of

        280c77
        reference for translators and graphic designers. To have translation
        280c77
        markers well defined makes possible that translators and graphic
        280c77
        designers can work together but independently one another.
        280c77

        280c77
        280c77
        280c77

        3.51.2.3 Translation Files

        280c77
        280c77

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

        280c77
        replacement commands mainly. As convenction, translation file names
        280c77
        end in <samp>`.sed'</samp>. Translation files are used by centos-art
        280c77
        script to produce translated artworks for specific major releases of
        280c77
        CentOS Distribution. There are common translation files, specific
        280c77
        translation, and template translation files.
        280c77

        280c77

        For example, the Firstboot artwork of CentOS distribution uses the

        280c77
        images <tt>`splash-small.png'</tt> and <tt>`firstboot-left.png'</tt> as based
        280c77
        to control its visual style. The <tt>`splash-small.png'</tt> image
        280c77
        contains, in its graphic design, the release number information of
        280c77
        CentOS distribution. So the <tt>`splash-small.png'</tt> is
        280c77
        release-specific. In the other hand, the <tt>`firstboot-left.png'</tt>
        280c77
        doesn't contain release number information. So the
        280c77
        <tt>`firstboot-left.png'</tt> is not release-specific.
        280c77

        280c77

        If we want to produce Firstboot artwork for different major releases

        280c77
        of CentOS distribution, using a monolithic visual identity, all
        280c77
        Firstboot images should have the same visual style and, at the same
        280c77
        time, the release-specific information in the release-specific images. 
        280c77

        280c77
        info

        Note

        The monolithic visual identity is implemented using

        280c77
        theme models (see section trunk/Identity/Themes/Models) and artistic
        280c77
        motifs (see section trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs).
        280c77

        280c77
        280c77

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

        280c77
        the initial translation entry to produce Firstboot artworks would look
        280c77
        like the following:
        280c77

        280c77
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/BootUp/Firstboot/
        280c77
        |-- Tpl
        280c77
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        280c77
        `-- firstboot-left.sed
        280c77
        280c77

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

        280c77
        to produce the image <tt>`firstboot-left.png'</tt> only. To produce
        280c77
        <tt>`splash-small.png'</tt> images for major releases (e.g., 3, 4, 5, and
        280c77
        6) of CentOS distribution we need to produce the release-specific
        280c77
        translation files using the centos-art script as following:
        280c77

        280c77
        centos-art render --entry=/home/centos/artwork/trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/BootUp/Firstboot --filter='3,4,5,6'
        280c77
        280c77

        The above command produces the following translation entiry:

        280c77

        280c77
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/BootUp/Firstboot/
        280c77

        280c77
        `-- firstboot-left.sed
        280c77
        280c77

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

        280c77
        artwork images for major releases of CentOS distribution. To add new
        280c77
        release-specific translation files, run the translation rendering
        280c77
        command with the release number you want to produce translation files
        280c77
        for in the <samp>`--filter='release-number''</samp> argument.

        3.51.2.4 Template Translation Files

        280c77
        280c77

        Template translation files are translation files stored inside

        280c77
        translation template directory. Template translation files are used by
        280c77
        centos-art script to produce specific translation files
        280c77
        only. Template translation files may be empty or contain
        280c77
        sed's replacement commands. If template translation files
        280c77
        are empty files, the final specifc translation file built from it
        280c77
        contains release-specific replacement commands only. For example,
        280c77
        see the following translation entry:
        280c77

        280c77
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/BootUp/Firstboot/
        280c77
        |-- 3
        280c77
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        280c77
        |-- 4
        280c77
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        280c77
        |-- 5
        280c77
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        280c77
        |-- 6
        280c77
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        280c77
        |-- Tpl
        280c77
        |   `-- splash-small.sed    <-- template translation file.
        280c77
        `-- firstboot-left.sed
        280c77
        280c77

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

        280c77
        translation file and looks like:
        280c77

        280c77
        # -------------------------------------
        280c77
        # $Id: splash-small.sed 94 2010-09-18 10:59:42Z al $
        280c77
        # -------------------------------------
        280c77
        280c77

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

        280c77
        but when you render it, the centos-art adds the
        280c77
        release-specific replacement commands. In our Firstboot example, after
        280c77
        rendering Firstboot translation entry, the <tt>`splash-small.sed'</tt>
        280c77
        translation file specific to CentOS 5, looks like the following:
        280c77

        280c77
        # Warning: Do not modify this file directly. This file is created
        280c77
        # automatically using 'centos-art' command line interface.  Any change
        280c77
        # you do in this file will be lost the next time you update
        280c77
        # translation files using 'centos-art' command line interface. If you
        280c77
        # want to improve the content of this translation file, improve its
        280c77
        # template file instead and run the 'centos-art' command line
        280c77
        # interface later to propagate your changes.
        280c77
        # -------------------------------------
        280c77
        # $Id: splash-small.sed 94 2010-09-18 10:59:42Z al $
        280c77
        # -------------------------------------
        280c77
        280c77
        # Release number information.
        280c77
        s!=RELEASE=!=MAJOR_RELEASE=.=MINOR_RELEASE=!g
        280c77
        s!=MINOR_RELEASE=!0!g
        280c77
        s!=MAJOR_RELEASE=!5!g
        280c77
        280c77

        If template translation files are not empty, replacement commands

        280c77
        inside template translation files are preserved inside
        280c77
        release-specific translation files.  For example, consider the English
        280c77
        template translation file of Anaconda progress welcome slide.  The
        280c77
        translation template directory structure looks like the following:
        280c77

        280c77
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        280c77
        `-- Tpl
        280c77
            `-- en
        280c77
                `-- 01-welcome.sed
        280c77
        280c77

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

        280c77
        releases, the translation entry would look like the following:
        280c77

        280c77
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        280c77
        |-- 4
        280c77
        |   `-- en
        280c77
        |       `-- 01-welcome.sed
        280c77
        |-- 5
        280c77
        |   `-- en
        280c77
        |       `-- 01-welcome.sed
        280c77
        `-- Tpl
        280c77
            `-- en
        280c77
                `-- 01-welcome.sed
        280c77
        280c77
        info

        Note

        Release-specific translation directories preserve

        280c77
        template translation directory structure and file names.
        280c77

        280c77
        280c77

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

        280c77
        following:
        280c77

        280c77
        # ------------------------------------------------------------
        280c77
        # $Id: 01-welcome.sed 94 2010-09-18 10:59:42Z al $

        280c77
        s/=TEXT2=/CentOS is an enterprise-class Linux Distribution derived from sources freely provided to the public by a prominent North American Enterprise Linux vendor./

        s!=URL=!http://www.centos.org/!
        280c77
        280c77

        and, after render the translation entry, specific translation files

        280c77
        look like the following:
        280c77

        280c77
        # Warning: Do not modify this file directly. This file is created
        280c77

        280c77
        s/=TITLE=/Welcome to CentOS =MAJOR_RELEASE= !/

        280c77

        # Release number information.

        s!=RELEASE=!=MAJOR_RELEASE=.=MINOR_RELEASE=!g
        280c77
        s!=MINOR_RELEASE=!0!g
        280c77
        s!=MAJOR_RELEASE=!5!g
        280c77
        280c77

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

        280c77
        followed by a separation character (e.g., <samp>`/'</samp>, <samp>`!'</samp>, etc.).
        280c77
        These lines have the following format:
        280c77

        280c77
        s/REGEXP/REPLACEMENT/FLAGS
        280c77
        280c77

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

        280c77
        character within any given s command.  The <samp>`/'</samp>
        280c77
        character (or whatever other character is used in its stead) can
        280c77
        appear in the REGEXP or REPLACEMENT only if it is preceded by a
        280c77
        <samp>`\'</samp> character.
        280c77

        280c77

        The s command is probably the most important in

        280c77
        sed and has a lot of different options.  Its basic concept
        280c77
        is simple: the s command attempts to match the pattern space
        280c77
        against the supplied REGEXP; if the match is successful, then that
        280c77
        portion of the pattern space which was matched is replaced with
        280c77
        REPLACEMENT.
        280c77

        280c77

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

        280c77
        define translation markers and REPLACEMENT where you define the
        280c77
        translation text you want to have after artworks rendering.  Sometimes
        280c77
        we use the FLAG component with the <samp>`g'</samp> command to apply the
        280c77
        replacements globally.
        280c77

        280c77
        Info

        Tip

        More information about how to use sed's

        280c77
        replacement commands and flags is available in sed's
        280c77
        documentation manual. To read sed's documentation manual type the
        280c77
        following command: 
        280c77

        info sed
        280c77
        280c77
        280c77

        Inside translation files, you can use translation markers not only

        280c77
        inside the REGEXP but in the REPLACEMENT too. In order for this
        280c77
        configuration to work, the REPLACEMENT of translation markers needs to
        280c77
        be define after its definition. For example, see in the
        280c77
        release-specific translation file above, how the
        280c77
        <samp>`s!=MAJOR_RELASE=!5!g'</samp> replacement command is defined
        280c77
        after <samp>`=MAJOR_RELASE='</samp> translation marker definition in
        280c77
        the REPLACEMENT of <samp>`=TITLE='</samp> translation marker replacement
        280c77
        command.

        3.51.2.5 Common Translation Files

        280c77
        280c77

        Common translation files contain common translations or no

        280c77
        translation at all for their related artworks.  They are in the root
        280c77
        directory of the translation entry. Common translation files create
        280c77
        common artworks for all major releases of CentOS Distribution. 
        280c77

        280c77

        Translation entries, with common translation files inside, look like

        280c77
        the following:
        280c77

        280c77
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/BootUp/Firstboot/

        3.51.2.6 Specific Translation Files

        280c77
        280c77

        Specific translation files contain specific translations for their

        280c77
        related artworks. Specific translation files are not in the root
        280c77
        directory of the translation entry, but inside directories which
        280c77
        describe the type of translation they are doing. Specific translation
        280c77
        files are produced automatically using the centos-art
        280c77
        script.
        280c77

        3.51.2.7 Translation Rendering

        280c77
        280c77

        When rendering translations, the centos-art script checks

        280c77
        the translation entry to verify that it has a translation template
        280c77
        directory inside. The translation template directory (<tt>`Tpl/'</tt>)
        280c77
        contains common translation files used to build release-specific
        280c77
        translation files. If the translation template directory doesn't exist
        280c77
        inside the translation entry the translation rendering fails. In this
        280c77
        case the centos-art script outputs a message and quits
        280c77
        script execution.

        3.51.2.8 Translation (Pre-)Rendering Configuration Scripts

        280c77
        280c77

        When the centos-art script finds a translation template

        280c77
        directory inside translation entry, it looks for translations
        280c77
        pre-rendering configuration scripts for that translation entry.
        280c77
        Translation pre-rendering configuration scripts let you extend
        280c77
        translation's default functionality (described below). 
        280c77

        280c77

        Translation pre-rendering configuration scripts are stored under

        280c77
        <tt>`trunk/Scripts'</tt> directory, specifically under the appropriate
        280c77
        language implementation. If you are using centos-art Bash's
        280c77
        implementation, the translation pre-rendering scripts are store in the
        280c77
        <tt>`trunk/Scripts/Bash/Config'</tt> location; if you are using
        280c77
        centos-art Python's implementation, then translation
        280c77
        pre-rendering scripts are stored in the
        280c77
        <tt>`trunk/Scripts/Python/Config'</tt> location, and so on for other
        280c77
        implementations.
        280c77

        280c77

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

        280c77
        following:
        280c77

        280c77
        #!/bin/bash
        280c77
        #
        280c77
        # render_loadConfig.sh -- brief description here.

        Translation pre-rendering scripts are function scripts loaded and

        280c77
        executed when rendering a translation entry. Translation pre-rendering
        280c77
        scripts are loaded using the translation entry being rendered as
        280c77
        reference. For example, suppose you are using the
        280c77
        centos-art Bash's implementation, and you are rendering
        280c77
        translations for CentOS brands, in this situation the translation
        280c77
        entry would be:
        280c77

        280c77
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Brands
        280c77
        280c77

        and the entry inside the translation pre-rendering configuration

        280c77
        structure would be:
        280c77

        280c77
        trunk/Scripts/Bash/Config/Identity/Brands
        280c77
        280c77

        Once the centos-art script detects that translation

        280c77
        pre-rendering configuration directory exists, the centos-art
        280c77
        script looks for the translation pre-rendering configuration file.  If
        280c77
        the translation pre-rendering configuration file exists, it is loaded
        280c77
        and executed.  Once the translation pre-rendering configuration file
        280c77
        has been executed the translation rendering process is over, and so
        280c77
        the script execution.
        280c77

        280c77
        info

        Note

        Translation pre-rendering configuration files have the

        280c77
        following form:
        280c77

        render.conf.extension
        280c77

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

        280c77
        you are using. For example, <samp>`sh'</samp> for Bash's, <samp>`py'</samp> for
        280c77
        Python's, <samp>`pl'</samp> for Perl's, and so on for other implementations.
        280c77

        280c77
        280c77

        As we are using Bash implementation to describe the translation

        280c77
        pre-rendering configuration example, the translation pre-rendering
        280c77
        configuration file that centos-art looks for, inside the
        280c77
        above translation pre-rendering configuration directory, is
        280c77
        <tt>`render.conf.sh'</tt>.

        3.51.2.9 Translation Rendering Default Functionality

        280c77
        280c77

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

        280c77
        doesn't exist, or it isn't written as function script, the
        280c77
        centos-art script ignore translation pre-rendering
        280c77
        configuration functionality and passes to render translation using
        280c77
        default functionality instead.
        280c77

        280c77

        The translation rendering default functionality takes template

        280c77
        translation directory structure, duplicates it for each release number
        280c77
        specified in the <samp>`--filter='release-number''</samp> argument and
        280c77
        produces release-specific directories. As part of template translation
        280c77
        duplication process take place, the centos-art script adds
        280c77
        release-specific replacement commands to each specific translation
        280c77
        file inside release-specific directories. As result, specific
        280c77
        translation files, inside release-specific directories, contain
        280c77
        template translation replacement commands plus,
        280c77
        release-specific replacement commands.
        280c77

        280c77
        info

        Note

        Release-specific replacement commands are standardized

        280c77
        inside centos-art script using predifined release
        280c77
        translation markers. Release translation markers are described in the
        280c77
        translation marker section
        280c77
        (see Translation Markers).

        3.51.3 Usage

        e37211
        280c77
        280c77
        <samp>`centos-art render --entry='path/to/dir''</samp>
        280c77
        280c77

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

        280c77
        <samp>`trunk/Translations'</samp>, this command orverwrites available
        280c77
        translation files using translation templates.
        280c77

        280c77
        280c77
        <samp>`centos-art render --entry='path/to/dir' --filter='pattern''</samp>
        280c77
        280c77

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

        280c77
        <tt>`trunk/Translations'</tt>, this command renders release-specific
        280c77
        translation files as you specify in the <samp>`--filter='pattern''</samp>
        280c77
        argument. In this case, <samp>`pattern'</samp> not a regular expression but an
        280c77
        number (e.g., <samp>`5'</samp>) or a list of numbers separated by commas
        280c77
        (e.g., <samp>`3,4,5,6'</samp>) that specify the major release of CentOS
        280c77
        distribution you want to render translations for.
