The <tt>`trunk/Translations'</tt> directory exists to:

38bcd9

38bcd9
    38bcd9
  • Organize translation files.
  • 38bcd9
  • Organize translation templates used to produce translation files.
  • 38bcd9

    3.52.2 Description

    cb2a5d
    38bcd9

    When you create artwork for CentOS distribution you find that some

    38bcd9
    artworks need to be created for different major releases of CentOS
    38bcd9
    distribution and inside each major release they need to be created for
    38bcd9
    different locales. To get an approximate idea of how many files we are
    38bcd9
    talking about, consider the followig approximate statistic:
    38bcd9

    38bcd9
      38bcd9
    • Inside CentOS distribution, there are around 30 images to
    • 38bcd9
      rebrand.(2)
      38bcd9
      38bcd9
    • There are near to four major releases of CentOS distribution to
    • 38bcd9
      rebrand in parallel development.(3) 
      38bcd9
      38bcd9
    • Each CentOS distribution in parallel development supports more
    • 38bcd9
      than two hundreds locales.(4)
      38bcd9
      38bcd9
      38bcd9

      In order to aliviate maintainance of artwork production for such

      38bcd9
      environment, we divided artwork production in three production lines:
      38bcd9

      38bcd9
        38bcd9
      1. See section trunk/Identity/Themes/Models, to define artworks
      2. 38bcd9
        characteristics (e.g., dimensions, position on the screen, etc.).
        38bcd9
      3. See section trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs, to define artworks visual
      4. 38bcd9
        styles (e.g., the look and feel).
        38bcd9
      5. Translations, to define which major releases and locales
      6. 38bcd9
        artworks are produced for. 
        38bcd9
        38bcd9
        38bcd9

        Inside CentOS Artwork Repository, the artworks' translation production

        38bcd9
        line is stored under <tt>`trunk/Translations'</tt> directory.
        38bcd9

        38bcd9

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

        38bcd9
        entries" to organize artworks' "translation files" and artworks'
        38bcd9
        "translation templates".
        38bcd9

        38bcd9
        38bcd9
        38bcd9

        3.52.2.1 Translation Entries

        38bcd9
        38bcd9

        Translation entries exists for each artwork you want to produce.

        38bcd9
        Translation entries can be empty directories, or directories
        38bcd9
        containing translation files and translation templates.  
        38bcd9

        38bcd9

        When translation entries are empty directories, the identity entry is

        38bcd9
        used as reference to create file names and directories layout for
        38bcd9
        rendered files.  In this case, the centos-art script takes
        38bcd9
        one design template and outputs one non-translated file for each
        38bcd9
        design template available.  This configuration is mainly used to
        38bcd9
        produce non-translatable artworks like themes' backgrounds.
        38bcd9

        38bcd9

        When translation entries contain translation files, the translation

        38bcd9
        entry implements the CentOS release schema and is used as reference to
        38bcd9
        create file names and directories layout for translated artworks. In
        38bcd9
        this case, the centos-art script applies one translation
        38bcd9
        file to one design template to create one translated instance which is
        38bcd9
        used to output one translated file. When the translated file is
        38bcd9
        rendered, the centos-art script remove the previous instance
        38bcd9
        and takes the next file in the list of translation files to repate the
        38bcd9
        whole process once again, and so on for all files in the list. This
        38bcd9
        configuration is mainly used to produce translatable artworks like
        38bcd9
        Anaconda's progress slide images.
        38bcd9

        38bcd9

        To find out correspondence between translation entries and identity

        38bcd9
        entries, you need to look the path of both translation entries and
        38bcd9
        identity entries. For example, if you are using the Modern's artisitic
        38bcd9
        motif, the identity entry for Anaconda progress artwork is:
        38bcd9

        38bcd9
        trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/Modern/Distro/Anaconda/Progress
        38bcd9
        38bcd9

        and its translation entry is:

        38bcd9

        38bcd9
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/Anaconda/Progress
        38bcd9
        38bcd9

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

        38bcd9
        directory, also how static values (e.g., Identity, Themes, Distro,
        38bcd9
        etc.) in the identity's entry path remain in translation's entry path,
        38bcd9
        and how variable values like theme names (e.g., Modern) are stript out
        38bcd9
        from translation's entry path. The same convenction can be applied to
        38bcd9
        other identity entries in order to determine their translation
        38bcd9
        entries, or to other translation entries to determine their identity
        38bcd9
        entries.
        38bcd9

        38bcd9
        info

        Note

        Translation entries related to identity entries under

        38bcd9
        <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs'</tt> do not use <tt>`Motifs/'</tt> in the
        38bcd9
        path.  We've done this because <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Models'</tt>
        38bcd9
        structure, the other structure under <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes'</tt>,
        38bcd9
        doesn't require translation paths so far. So in the sake of saving
        38bcd9
        characters space when building translation entries for
        38bcd9
        <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs'</tt> structure, we organize Motifs
        38bcd9
        translation entries under <tt>`trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/'</tt>
        38bcd9
        directly. 
        38bcd9

        38bcd9

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

        38bcd9
        requires translation entries, we need to re-oraganize the current
        38bcd9
        directory structure accordingly.
        38bcd9

        38bcd9
        38bcd9

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

        38bcd9
        identity entries. For example the following identity entries:
        38bcd9

        38bcd9
        trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/Modern/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        38bcd9
        trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/TreeFlower/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        38bcd9
        trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/Mettle/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        38bcd9
        38bcd9

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

        38bcd9
        Anaconda progress translation entry (the one shown in our example
        38bcd9
        above). This way, you can create several identity entries and maintain
        38bcd9
        just one translation entry for all of them.  Once you change the
        38bcd9
        translation files inside the common translation entry, changes inside
        38bcd9
        identity entries will take effect inside the next you render them.
        38bcd9

        38bcd9

        Trying to make things plain and simple: inside CentOS Artwork

        38bcd9
        Repository, graphic designers can concentrate their efforts in
        38bcd9
        artworks look and feel (the identity entries), and translators in
        38bcd9
        artworks translations (the translation entries).

        3.52.2.2 Translation Markers

        38bcd9

        38bcd9
        38bcd9

        38bcd9

        Translation markers are used in "Theme Model Designs" and

        38bcd9
        "Translation Files" as replacement patterns to commit content
        38bcd9
        translation.  When you are rendering content using
        38bcd9
        centos-art script inisde <tt>`trunk/Identity'</tt> structure,
        38bcd9
        artistic motifs and translation files are applied to model designs to
        38bcd9
        produce translated content as result. In order to have the appropriate
        38bcd9
        translation in content rendered, markers defintion in translation
        38bcd9
        files should match markers in model designs exactly. 
        38bcd9

        38bcd9
        38bcd9

        38bcd9

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

        38bcd9
        we use the following to represent releases of CentOS distribution:
        38bcd9

        38bcd9
        38bcd9
        <samp>`=MINOR_RELEASE='</samp>
        38bcd9

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

        38bcd9
        release is represented by the N letter.
        38bcd9

        38bcd9
        <samp>`=MAJOR_RELEASE='</samp>
        38bcd9

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

        38bcd9
        the major release is represented by the M letter.
        38bcd9

        38bcd9
        <samp>`=RELEASE='</samp>
        38bcd9

        Replace the full release of CentOS distribution. It is

        38bcd9
        <samp>`=MAJOR_RELEASE=.=MINOR_RELEASE='</samp> basically. 
        38bcd9

        38bcd9
        38bcd9
        38bcd9

        Specific translation markers convenctions are described inside

        38bcd9
        specific translation entries. Read translation entries documentation
        38bcd9
        to know more about supported translation markers.
        38bcd9

        38bcd9

        Translation markers standardization creates a common point of

        38bcd9
        reference for translators and graphic designers. To have translation
        38bcd9
        markers well defined makes possible that translators and graphic
        38bcd9
        designers can work together but independently one another.
        38bcd9

        38bcd9
        38bcd9
        38bcd9

        3.52.2.3 Translation Files

        38bcd9
        38bcd9

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

        38bcd9
        replacement commands mainly. As convenction, translation file names
        38bcd9
        end in <samp>`.sed'</samp>. Translation files are used by centos-art
        38bcd9
        script to produce translated artworks for specific major releases of
        38bcd9
        CentOS Distribution. There are common translation files, specific
        38bcd9
        translation, and template translation files.
        38bcd9

        38bcd9

        For example, the Firstboot artwork of CentOS distribution uses the

        38bcd9
        images <tt>`splash-small.png'</tt> and <tt>`firstboot-left.png'</tt> as based
        38bcd9
        to control its visual style. The <tt>`splash-small.png'</tt> image
        38bcd9
        contains, in its graphic design, the release number information of
        38bcd9
        CentOS distribution. So the <tt>`splash-small.png'</tt> is
        38bcd9
        release-specific. In the other hand, the <tt>`firstboot-left.png'</tt>
        38bcd9
        doesn't contain release number information. So the
        38bcd9
        <tt>`firstboot-left.png'</tt> is not release-specific.
        38bcd9

        38bcd9

        If we want to produce Firstboot artwork for different major releases

        38bcd9
        of CentOS distribution, using a monolithic visual identity, all
        38bcd9
        Firstboot images should have the same visual style and, at the same
        38bcd9
        time, the release-specific information in the release-specific images. 
        38bcd9

        38bcd9
        info

        Note

        The monolithic visual identity is implemented using

        38bcd9
        theme models (see section trunk/Identity/Themes/Models) and artistic
        38bcd9
        motifs (see section trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs).
        38bcd9

        38bcd9
        38bcd9

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

        38bcd9
        the initial translation entry to produce Firstboot artworks would look
        38bcd9
        like the following:
        38bcd9

        38bcd9
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/BootUp/Firstboot/
        38bcd9
        |-- Tpl
        38bcd9
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        38bcd9
        `-- firstboot-left.sed
        38bcd9
        38bcd9

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

        38bcd9
        to produce the image <tt>`firstboot-left.png'</tt> only. To produce
        38bcd9
        <tt>`splash-small.png'</tt> images for major releases (e.g., 3, 4, 5, and
        38bcd9
        6) of CentOS distribution we need to produce the release-specific
        38bcd9
        translation files using the centos-art script as following:
        38bcd9

        38bcd9
        centos-art render --entry=/home/centos/artwork/trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/BootUp/Firstboot --filter='3,4,5,6'
        38bcd9
        38bcd9

        The above command produces the following translation entiry:

        38bcd9

        38bcd9
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/BootUp/Firstboot/
        38bcd9
        |-- 3
        38bcd9
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        38bcd9
        |-- 4
        38bcd9
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        38bcd9
        |-- 5
        38bcd9
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        38bcd9
        |-- 6
        38bcd9
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        38bcd9
        |-- Tpl
        38bcd9
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        38bcd9
        `-- firstboot-left.sed
        38bcd9
        38bcd9

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

        38bcd9
        artwork images for major releases of CentOS distribution. To add new
        38bcd9
        release-specific translation files, run the translation rendering
        38bcd9
        command with the release number you want to produce translation files
        38bcd9
        for in the <samp>`--filter='release-number''</samp> argument.

        3.52.2.4 Template Translation Files

        38bcd9
        38bcd9

        Template translation files are translation files stored inside

        38bcd9
        translation template directory. Template translation files are used by
        38bcd9
        centos-art script to produce specific translation files
        38bcd9
        only. Template translation files may be empty or contain
        38bcd9
        sed's replacement commands. If template translation files
        38bcd9
        are empty files, the final specifc translation file built from it
        38bcd9
        contains release-specific replacement commands only. For example,
        38bcd9
        see the following translation entry:
        38bcd9

        38bcd9
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/BootUp/Firstboot/
        38bcd9
        |-- 3
        38bcd9
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        38bcd9
        |-- 4
        38bcd9
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        38bcd9
        |-- 5
        38bcd9
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        38bcd9
        |-- 6
        38bcd9
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        38bcd9
        |-- Tpl
        38bcd9
        |   `-- splash-small.sed    <-- template translation file.
        38bcd9
        `-- firstboot-left.sed
        38bcd9
        38bcd9

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

        38bcd9
        translation file and looks like:
        38bcd9

        38bcd9
        # -------------------------------------
        38bcd9
        # $Id: splash-small.sed 94 2010-09-18 10:59:42Z al $
        38bcd9
        # -------------------------------------
        38bcd9
        38bcd9

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

        38bcd9
        but when you render it, the centos-art adds the
        38bcd9
        release-specific replacement commands. In our Firstboot example, after
        38bcd9
        rendering Firstboot translation entry, the <tt>`splash-small.sed'</tt>
        38bcd9
        translation file specific to CentOS 5, looks like the following:
        38bcd9

        38bcd9
        # Warning: Do not modify this file directly. This file is created
        38bcd9
        # automatically using 'centos-art' command line interface.  Any change
        38bcd9
        # you do in this file will be lost the next time you update
        38bcd9
        # translation files using 'centos-art' command line interface. If you
        38bcd9
        # want to improve the content of this translation file, improve its
        38bcd9
        # template file instead and run the 'centos-art' command line
        38bcd9
        # interface later to propagate your changes.
        38bcd9
        # -------------------------------------
        38bcd9
        # $Id: splash-small.sed 94 2010-09-18 10:59:42Z al $
        38bcd9
        # -------------------------------------
        38bcd9
        38bcd9
        # Release number information.
        38bcd9
        s!=RELEASE=!=MAJOR_RELEASE=.=MINOR_RELEASE=!g
        38bcd9
        s!=MINOR_RELEASE=!0!g
        38bcd9
        s!=MAJOR_RELEASE=!5!g
        38bcd9
        38bcd9

        If template translation files are not empty, replacement commands

        38bcd9
        inside template translation files are preserved inside
        38bcd9
        release-specific translation files.  For example, consider the English
        38bcd9
        template translation file of Anaconda progress welcome slide.  The
        38bcd9
        translation template directory structure looks like the following:
        38bcd9

        38bcd9
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        38bcd9
        `-- Tpl
        38bcd9
            `-- en
        38bcd9
                `-- 01-welcome.sed
        38bcd9
        38bcd9

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

        38bcd9
        releases, the translation entry would look like the following:
        38bcd9

        38bcd9
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        38bcd9
        |-- 4
        38bcd9
        |   `-- en
        38bcd9
        |       `-- 01-welcome.sed
        38bcd9
        |-- 5
        38bcd9
        |   `-- en
        38bcd9
        |       `-- 01-welcome.sed
        38bcd9
        `-- Tpl
        38bcd9
            `-- en
        38bcd9
                `-- 01-welcome.sed
        38bcd9
        38bcd9
        info

        Note

        Release-specific translation directories preserve

        38bcd9
        template translation directory structure and file names.
        38bcd9

        38bcd9
        38bcd9

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

        38bcd9
        following:
        38bcd9

        38bcd9
        # ------------------------------------------------------------
        38bcd9
        # $Id: 01-welcome.sed 94 2010-09-18 10:59:42Z al $
        38bcd9
        # ------------------------------------------------------------
        38bcd9
        s/=TITLE=/Welcome to CentOS =MAJOR_RELEASE= !/
        38bcd9
        s/=TEXT1=/Thank you for installing CentOS =MAJOR_RELEASE=./
        38bcd9
        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./
        38bcd9
        s/=TEXT3=/CentOS conforms fully with the upstream vendors redistribution policy and aims to be 100% binary compatible. CentOS mainly changes packages to remove upstream vendor branding and artwork./

        38bcd9
        s!=URL=!http://www.centos.org/!
        38bcd9
        38bcd9

        and, after render the translation entry, specific translation files

        38bcd9
        look like the following:
        38bcd9

        38bcd9
        # Warning: Do not modify this file directly. This file is created
        38bcd9

        38bcd9
        # you do in this file will be lost the next time you update

        # translation files using 'centos-art' command line interface. If you
        38bcd9
        # want to improve the content of this translation file, improve its

        # template file instead and run the 'centos-art' command line
        38bcd9
        # interface later to propagate your changes.
        38bcd9
        # ------------------------------------------------------------
        38bcd9
        # $Id: 01-welcome.sed 94 2010-09-18 10:59:42Z al $
        38bcd9
        # ------------------------------------------------------------
        38bcd9
        38bcd9
        s/=TITLE=/Welcome to CentOS =MAJOR_RELEASE= !/
        38bcd9
        s/=TEXT1=/Thank you for installing CentOS =MAJOR_RELEASE=./
        38bcd9
        s/=TEXT2=/CentOS is an enterprise-class Linux Distribution derived from sources freely provided to the public by a prominen t North American Enterprise Linux vendor./
        38bcd9
        s/=TEXT3=/CentOS conforms fully with the upstream vendors redistribution policy and aims to be 100% binary compatible. Cent OS mainly changes packages to remove upstream vendor branding and artwork./
        38bcd9
        s/=TEXT4=//
        38bcd9
        s/=TEXT5=//
        38bcd9
        s/=TEXT6=//
        38bcd9
        s!=URL=!http://www.centos.org/!
        38bcd9
        38bcd9
        # Release number information.
        38bcd9
        s!=RELEASE=!=MAJOR_RELEASE=.=MINOR_RELEASE=!g
        38bcd9
        s!=MINOR_RELEASE=!0!g
        38bcd9
        s!=MAJOR_RELEASE=!5!g
        38bcd9
        38bcd9

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

        38bcd9
        followed by a separation character (e.g., <samp>`/'</samp>, <samp>`!'</samp>, etc.).
        38bcd9
        These lines have the following format:
        38bcd9

        38bcd9
        s/REGEXP/REPLACEMENT/FLAGS
        38bcd9
        38bcd9

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

        38bcd9
        character within any given s command.  The <samp>`/'</samp>
        38bcd9
        character (or whatever other character is used in its stead) can
        38bcd9
        appear in the REGEXP or REPLACEMENT only if it is preceded by a
        38bcd9
        <samp>`\'</samp> character.
        38bcd9

        38bcd9

        The s command is probably the most important in

        38bcd9
        sed and has a lot of different options.  Its basic concept
        38bcd9
        is simple: the s command attempts to match the pattern space
        38bcd9
        against the supplied REGEXP; if the match is successful, then that
        38bcd9
        portion of the pattern space which was matched is replaced with
        38bcd9
        REPLACEMENT.
        38bcd9

        38bcd9

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

        38bcd9
        define translation markers and REPLACEMENT where you define the
        38bcd9
        translation text you want to have after artworks rendering.  Sometimes
        38bcd9
        we use the FLAG component with the <samp>`g'</samp> command to apply the
        38bcd9
        replacements globally.
        38bcd9

        38bcd9
        Info

        Tip

        More information about how to use sed's

        38bcd9
        replacement commands and flags is available in sed's
        38bcd9
        documentation manual. To read sed's documentation manual type the
        38bcd9
        following command: 
        38bcd9

        info sed
        38bcd9
        38bcd9
        38bcd9

        Inside translation files, you can use translation markers not only

        38bcd9
        inside the REGEXP but in the REPLACEMENT too. In order for this
        38bcd9
        configuration to work, the REPLACEMENT of translation markers needs to
        38bcd9
        be define after its definition. For example, see in the
        38bcd9
        release-specific translation file above, how the
        38bcd9
        <samp>`s!=MAJOR_RELASE=!5!g'</samp> replacement command is defined
        38bcd9
        after <samp>`=MAJOR_RELASE='</samp> translation marker definition in
        38bcd9
        the REPLACEMENT of <samp>`=TITLE='</samp> translation marker replacement
        38bcd9
        command.

        38bcd9

        3.52.2.5 Common Translation Files

        38bcd9
        38bcd9

        Common translation files contain common translations or no

        38bcd9
        translation at all for their related artworks.  They are in the root
        38bcd9
        directory of the translation entry. Common translation files create
        38bcd9
        common artworks for all major releases of CentOS Distribution. 
        38bcd9

        38bcd9

        Translation entries, with common translation files inside, look like

        38bcd9
        the following:
        38bcd9

        38bcd9
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/BootUp/Firstboot/
        38bcd9

        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        38bcd9
        `-- firstboot-left.sed      <-- common translation file.
        38bcd9
        38bcd9
        38bcd9
        38bcd9

        3.52.2.6 Specific Translation Files

        38bcd9
        38bcd9

        Specific translation files contain specific translations for their

        38bcd9
        related artworks. Specific translation files are not in the root
        38bcd9
        directory of the translation entry, but inside directories which
        38bcd9
        describe the type of translation they are doing. Specific translation
        38bcd9
        files are produced automatically using the centos-art
        38bcd9
        script.
        38bcd9

        38bcd9

        38bcd9

        3.52.2.7 Translation Rendering

        38bcd9
        38bcd9

        When rendering translations, the centos-art script checks

        38bcd9
        the translation entry to verify that it has a translation template
        38bcd9
        directory inside. The translation template directory (<tt>`Tpl/'</tt>)
        38bcd9
        contains common translation files used to build release-specific
        38bcd9
        translation files. If the translation template directory doesn't exist
        38bcd9
        inside the translation entry the translation rendering fails. In this
        38bcd9
        case the centos-art script outputs a message and quits
        38bcd9
        script execution.
        38bcd9

        38bcd9
        38bcd9
        38bcd9

        3.52.2.8 Translation (Pre-)Rendering Configuration Scripts

        38bcd9
        38bcd9

        When the centos-art script finds a translation template

        38bcd9
        directory inside translation entry, it looks for translations
        38bcd9
        pre-rendering configuration scripts for that translation entry.
        38bcd9
        Translation pre-rendering configuration scripts let you extend
        38bcd9
        translation's default functionality (described below). 
        38bcd9

        38bcd9

        Translation pre-rendering configuration scripts are stored under

        38bcd9
        <tt>`trunk/Scripts'</tt> directory, specifically under the appropriate
        38bcd9
        language implementation. If you are using centos-art Bash's
        38bcd9
        implementation, the translation pre-rendering scripts are store in the
        38bcd9
        <tt>`trunk/Scripts/Bash/Config'</tt> location; if you are using
        38bcd9
        centos-art Python's implementation, then translation
        38bcd9
        pre-rendering scripts are stored in the
        38bcd9
        <tt>`trunk/Scripts/Python/Config'</tt> location, and so on for other
        38bcd9
        implementations.
        38bcd9

        38bcd9

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

        38bcd9
        following:
        38bcd9

        38bcd9
        #!/bin/bash
        38bcd9
        #
        38bcd9
        # render_loadConfig.sh -- brief description here.

        Translation pre-rendering scripts are function scripts loaded and

        38bcd9
        executed when rendering a translation entry. Translation pre-rendering
        38bcd9
        scripts are loaded using the translation entry being rendered as
        38bcd9
        reference. For example, suppose you are using the
        38bcd9
        centos-art Bash's implementation, and you are rendering
        38bcd9
        translations for CentOS brands, in this situation the translation
        38bcd9
        entry would be:
        38bcd9

        38bcd9
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Brands
        38bcd9
        38bcd9

        and the entry inside the translation pre-rendering configuration

        38bcd9
        structure would be:
        38bcd9

        38bcd9
        trunk/Scripts/Bash/Config/Identity/Brands
        38bcd9
        38bcd9

        Once the centos-art script detects that translation

        38bcd9
        pre-rendering configuration directory exists, the centos-art
        38bcd9
        script looks for the translation pre-rendering configuration file.  If
        38bcd9
        the translation pre-rendering configuration file exists, it is loaded
        38bcd9
        and executed.  Once the translation pre-rendering configuration file
        38bcd9
        has been executed the translation rendering process is over, and so
        38bcd9
        the script execution.
        38bcd9

        38bcd9
        info

        Note

        Translation pre-rendering configuration files have the

        38bcd9
        following form:
        38bcd9

        render.conf.extension
        38bcd9

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

        38bcd9
        you are using. For example, <samp>`sh'</samp> for Bash's, <samp>`py'</samp> for
        38bcd9
        Python's, <samp>`pl'</samp> for Perl's, and so on for other implementations.
        38bcd9

        38bcd9
        38bcd9

        As we are using Bash implementation to describe the translation

        38bcd9
        pre-rendering configuration example, the translation pre-rendering
        38bcd9
        configuration file that centos-art looks for, inside the
        38bcd9
        above translation pre-rendering configuration directory, is
        38bcd9
        <tt>`render.conf.sh'</tt>.

        3.52.2.9 Translation Rendering Default Functionality

        38bcd9
        38bcd9

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

        38bcd9
        doesn't exist, or it isn't written as function script, the
        38bcd9
        centos-art script ignore translation pre-rendering
        38bcd9
        configuration functionality and passes to render translation using
        38bcd9
        default functionality instead.
        38bcd9

        38bcd9

        The translation rendering default functionality takes template

        38bcd9
        translation directory structure, duplicates it for each release number
        38bcd9
        specified in the <samp>`--filter='release-number''</samp> argument and
        38bcd9
        produces release-specific directories. As part of template translation
        38bcd9
        duplication process take place, the centos-art script adds
        38bcd9
        release-specific replacement commands to each specific translation
        38bcd9
        file inside release-specific directories. As result, specific
        38bcd9
        translation files, inside release-specific directories, contain
        38bcd9
        template translation replacement commands plus,
        38bcd9
        release-specific replacement commands.
        38bcd9

        38bcd9
        info

        Note

        Release-specific replacement commands are standardized

        38bcd9
        inside centos-art script using predifined release
        38bcd9
        translation markers. Release translation markers are described in the
        38bcd9
        translation marker section
        38bcd9
        (see Translation Markers).

        3.52.3 Usage

        c9b54d
        38bcd9
        38bcd9
        <samp>`centos-art render 'path/to/dir''</samp>
        38bcd9
        38bcd9

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

        38bcd9
        <samp>`trunk/Translations'</samp>, this command orverwrites available
        38bcd9
        translation files using translation templates.
        38bcd9

        38bcd9
        38bcd9
        <samp>`centos-art render 'path/to/dir' --filter='pattern''</samp>
        38bcd9
        38bcd9

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

        38bcd9
        <tt>`trunk/Translations'</tt>, this command renders release-specific
        38bcd9
        translation files as you specify in the <samp>`--filter='pattern''</samp>
        38bcd9
        argument. In this case, <samp>`pattern'</samp> not a regular expression but an
        38bcd9
        number (e.g., <samp>`5'</samp>) or a list of numbers separated by commas
        38bcd9
        (e.g., <samp>`3,4,5,6'</samp>) that specify the major release of CentOS
        38bcd9
        distribution you want to render translations for.
