    3.52.2 Description

    008ee0
    54b5a5

    When you create artwork for CentOS distribution you find that some

    54b5a5
    artworks need to be created for different major releases of CentOS
    54b5a5
    distribution and inside each major release they need to be created for
    54b5a5
    different locales. To get an approximate idea of how many files we are
    54b5a5
    talking about, consider the followig approximate statistic:
    54b5a5

    008ee0
      54b5a5
    • Inside CentOS distribution, there are around 30 images to
    • 54b5a5
      rebrand.(2)
      54b5a5
      54b5a5
    • There are near to four major releases of CentOS distribution to
    • 54b5a5
      rebrand in parallel development.(3) 
      54b5a5
      54b5a5
    • Each CentOS distribution in parallel development supports more
    • 54b5a5
      than two hundreds locales.(4)
      008ee0
      38bcd9
      54b5a5

      In order to aliviate maintainance of artwork production for such

      54b5a5
      environment, we divided artwork production in three production lines:
      54b5a5

      54b5a5
        54b5a5
      1. See section trunk/Identity/Themes/Models, to define artworks
      2. 54b5a5
        characteristics (e.g., dimensions, position on the screen, etc.).
        54b5a5
      3. See section trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs, to define artworks visual
      4. 54b5a5
        styles (e.g., the look and feel).
        54b5a5
      5. Translations, to define which major releases and locales
      6. 54b5a5
        artworks are produced for. 
        54b5a5
        54b5a5
        54b5a5

        Inside CentOS Artwork Repository, the artworks' translation production

        54b5a5
        line is stored under <tt>`trunk/Translations'</tt> directory.
        54b5a5

        54b5a5

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

        54b5a5
        entries" to organize artworks' "translation files" and artworks'
        54b5a5
        "translation templates".
        54b5a5

        55c2ff
        008ee0
        54b5a5

        3.52.2.1 Translation Entries

        55c2ff
        54b5a5

        Translation entries exists for each artwork you want to produce.

        54b5a5
        Translation entries can be empty directories, or directories
        54b5a5
        containing translation files and translation templates.  
        54b5a5

        54b5a5

        When translation entries are empty directories, the identity entry is

        54b5a5
        used as reference to create file names and directories layout for
        54b5a5
        rendered files.  In this case, the centos-art script takes
        54b5a5
        one design template and outputs one non-translated file for each
        54b5a5
        design template available.  This configuration is mainly used to
        54b5a5
        produce non-translatable artworks like themes' backgrounds.
        54b5a5

        54b5a5

        When translation entries contain translation files, the translation

        54b5a5
        entry implements the CentOS release schema and is used as reference to
        54b5a5
        create file names and directories layout for translated artworks. In
        54b5a5
        this case, the centos-art script applies one translation
        54b5a5
        file to one design template to create one translated instance which is
        54b5a5
        used to output one translated file. When the translated file is
        54b5a5
        rendered, the centos-art script remove the previous instance
        54b5a5
        and takes the next file in the list of translation files to repate the
        54b5a5
        whole process once again, and so on for all files in the list. This
        54b5a5
        configuration is mainly used to produce translatable artworks like
        54b5a5
        Anaconda's progress slide images.
        54b5a5

        54b5a5

        To find out correspondence between translation entries and identity

        54b5a5
        entries, you need to look the path of both translation entries and
        54b5a5
        identity entries. For example, if you are using the Modern's artisitic
        54b5a5
        motif, the identity entry for Anaconda progress artwork is:
        54b5a5

        54b5a5
        trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/Modern/Distro/Anaconda/Progress
        54b5a5
        54b5a5

        and its translation entry is:

        54b5a5

        54b5a5
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/Anaconda/Progress
        54b5a5
        54b5a5

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

        54b5a5
        directory, also how static values (e.g., Identity, Themes, Distro,
        54b5a5
        etc.) in the identity's entry path remain in translation's entry path,
        54b5a5
        and how variable values like theme names (e.g., Modern) are stript out
        54b5a5
        from translation's entry path. The same convenction can be applied to
        54b5a5
        other identity entries in order to determine their translation
        54b5a5
        entries, or to other translation entries to determine their identity
        54b5a5
        entries.
        54b5a5

        54b5a5
        info

        Note

        Translation entries related to identity entries under

        54b5a5
        <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs'</tt> do not use <tt>`Motifs/'</tt> in the
        54b5a5
        path.  We've done this because <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Models'</tt>
        54b5a5
        structure, the other structure under <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes'</tt>,
        54b5a5
        doesn't require translation paths so far. So in the sake of saving
        54b5a5
        characters space when building translation entries for
        54b5a5
        <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs'</tt> structure, we organize Motifs
        54b5a5
        translation entries under <tt>`trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/'</tt>
        54b5a5
        directly. 
        54b5a5

        54b5a5

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

        54b5a5
        requires translation entries, we need to re-oraganize the current
        54b5a5
        directory structure accordingly.
        54b5a5

        55c2ff
        54b5a5

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

        54b5a5
        identity entries. For example the following identity entries:
        54b5a5

        54b5a5
        trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/Modern/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        54b5a5
        trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/TreeFlower/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        54b5a5
        trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/Mettle/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        54b5a5
        54b5a5

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

        54b5a5
        Anaconda progress translation entry (the one shown in our example
        54b5a5
        above). This way, you can create several identity entries and maintain
        54b5a5
        just one translation entry for all of them.  Once you change the
        54b5a5
        translation files inside the common translation entry, changes inside
        54b5a5
        identity entries will take effect inside the next you render them.
        54b5a5

        54b5a5

        Trying to make things plain and simple: inside CentOS Artwork

        54b5a5
        Repository, graphic designers can concentrate their efforts in
        54b5a5
        artworks look and feel (the identity entries), and translators in
        54b5a5
        artworks translations (the translation entries).

        3.52.2.2 Translation Markers

        54b5a5

        54b5a5
        54b5a5

        54b5a5

        Translation markers are used in "Theme Model Designs" and

        54b5a5
        "Translation Files" as replacement patterns to commit content
        54b5a5
        translation.  When you are rendering content using
        54b5a5
        centos-art script inisde <tt>`trunk/Identity'</tt> structure,
        54b5a5
        artistic motifs and translation files are applied to model designs to
        54b5a5
        produce translated content as result. In order to have the appropriate
        54b5a5
        translation in content rendered, markers defintion in translation
        54b5a5
        files should match markers in model designs exactly. 
        54b5a5

        54b5a5
        54b5a5

        Translation Markers

        54b5a5
        54b5a5

        54b5a5

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

        54b5a5
        we use the following to represent releases of CentOS distribution:
        54b5a5

        54b5a5
        54b5a5
        <samp>`=MINOR_RELEASE='</samp>
        54b5a5

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

        54b5a5
        release is represented by the N letter.
        54b5a5

        54b5a5
        <samp>`=MAJOR_RELEASE='</samp>
        54b5a5

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

        54b5a5
        the major release is represented by the M letter.
        54b5a5

        54b5a5
        <samp>`=RELEASE='</samp>
        54b5a5

        Replace the full release of CentOS distribution. It is

        54b5a5
        <samp>`=MAJOR_RELEASE=.=MINOR_RELEASE='</samp> basically. 
        54b5a5

        54b5a5
        54b5a5
        54b5a5

        Specific translation markers convenctions are described inside

        54b5a5
        specific translation entries. Read translation entries documentation
        54b5a5
        to know more about supported translation markers.
        54b5a5

        54b5a5

        Translation markers standardization creates a common point of

        54b5a5
        reference for translators and graphic designers. To have translation
        54b5a5
        markers well defined makes possible that translators and graphic
        54b5a5
        designers can work together but independently one another.
        54b5a5

        54b5a5
        54b5a5
        54b5a5

        3.52.2.3 Translation Files

        54b5a5
        54b5a5

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

        54b5a5
        replacement commands mainly. As convenction, translation file names
        54b5a5
        end in <samp>`.sed'</samp>. Translation files are used by centos-art
        54b5a5
        script to produce translated artworks for specific major releases of
        54b5a5
        CentOS Distribution. There are common translation files, specific
        54b5a5
        translation, and template translation files.
        54b5a5

        54b5a5

        For example, the Firstboot artwork of CentOS distribution uses the

        54b5a5
        images <tt>`splash-small.png'</tt> and <tt>`firstboot-left.png'</tt> as based
        54b5a5
        to control its visual style. The <tt>`splash-small.png'</tt> image
        54b5a5
        contains, in its graphic design, the release number information of
        54b5a5
        CentOS distribution. So the <tt>`splash-small.png'</tt> is
        54b5a5
        release-specific. In the other hand, the <tt>`firstboot-left.png'</tt>
        54b5a5
        doesn't contain release number information. So the
        54b5a5
        <tt>`firstboot-left.png'</tt> is not release-specific.
        54b5a5

        54b5a5

        If we want to produce Firstboot artwork for different major releases

        54b5a5
        of CentOS distribution, using a monolithic visual identity, all
        54b5a5
        Firstboot images should have the same visual style and, at the same
        54b5a5
        time, the release-specific information in the release-specific images. 
        54b5a5

        54b5a5
        info

        Note

        The monolithic visual identity is implemented using

        54b5a5
        theme models (see section trunk/Identity/Themes/Models) and artistic
        54b5a5
        motifs (see section trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs).
        54b5a5

        54b5a5
        54b5a5

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

        54b5a5
        the initial translation entry to produce Firstboot artworks would look
        54b5a5
        like the following:
        54b5a5

        54b5a5
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/BootUp/Firstboot/
        54b5a5
        |-- Tpl
        54b5a5
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        54b5a5
        `-- firstboot-left.sed
        54b5a5
        54b5a5

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

        54b5a5
        to produce the image <tt>`firstboot-left.png'</tt> only. To produce
        54b5a5
        <tt>`splash-small.png'</tt> images for major releases (e.g., 3, 4, 5, and
        54b5a5
        6) of CentOS distribution we need to produce the release-specific
        54b5a5
        translation files using the centos-art script as following:
        54b5a5

        54b5a5
        centos-art render --entry=/home/centos/artwork/trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/BootUp/Firstboot --filter='3,4,5,6'
        54b5a5
        54b5a5

        The above command produces the following translation entiry:

        54b5a5

        54b5a5
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/BootUp/Firstboot/
        54b5a5
        |-- 3
        54b5a5
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        54b5a5
        |-- 4

        54b5a5
        `-- firstboot-left.sed
        54b5a5
        54b5a5

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

        54b5a5
        artwork images for major releases of CentOS distribution. To add new
        54b5a5
        release-specific translation files, run the translation rendering
        54b5a5
        command with the release number you want to produce translation files
        54b5a5
        for in the <samp>`--filter='release-number''</samp> argument.

        3.52.2.4 Template Translation Files

        54b5a5
        54b5a5

        Template translation files are translation files stored inside

        54b5a5
        translation template directory. Template translation files are used by
        54b5a5
        centos-art script to produce specific translation files
        54b5a5
        only. Template translation files may be empty or contain
        54b5a5
        sed's replacement commands. If template translation files
        54b5a5
        are empty files, the final specifc translation file built from it
        54b5a5
        contains release-specific replacement commands only. For example,
        54b5a5
        see the following translation entry:
        54b5a5

        54b5a5
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/BootUp/Firstboot/
        54b5a5
        |-- 3
        54b5a5
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        54b5a5
        |-- 4
        54b5a5
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        54b5a5
        |-- 5
        54b5a5
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        54b5a5
        |-- 6
        54b5a5
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        54b5a5
        |-- Tpl
        54b5a5
        |   `-- splash-small.sed    <-- template translation file.
        54b5a5
        `-- firstboot-left.sed
        54b5a5
        54b5a5

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

        54b5a5
        translation file and looks like:
        54b5a5

        54b5a5
        # -------------------------------------
        54b5a5
        # $Id: splash-small.sed 94 2010-09-18 10:59:42Z al $
        54b5a5
        # -------------------------------------
        54b5a5
        54b5a5

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

        54b5a5
        but when you render it, the centos-art adds the
        54b5a5
        release-specific replacement commands. In our Firstboot example, after
        54b5a5
        rendering Firstboot translation entry, the <tt>`splash-small.sed'</tt>
        54b5a5
        translation file specific to CentOS 5, looks like the following:
        54b5a5

        54b5a5
        # Warning: Do not modify this file directly. This file is created
        54b5a5
        # automatically using 'centos-art' command line interface.  Any change
        54b5a5
        # you do in this file will be lost the next time you update
        54b5a5
        # translation files using 'centos-art' command line interface. If you
        54b5a5
        # want to improve the content of this translation file, improve its
        54b5a5
        # template file instead and run the 'centos-art' command line
        54b5a5
        # interface later to propagate your changes.
        54b5a5
        # -------------------------------------
        54b5a5
        # $Id: splash-small.sed 94 2010-09-18 10:59:42Z al $
        54b5a5
        # -------------------------------------
        54b5a5
        54b5a5
        # Release number information.
        54b5a5
        s!=RELEASE=!=MAJOR_RELEASE=.=MINOR_RELEASE=!g
        54b5a5
        s!=MINOR_RELEASE=!0!g
        54b5a5
        s!=MAJOR_RELEASE=!5!g
        54b5a5
        54b5a5

        If template translation files are not empty, replacement commands

        54b5a5
        inside template translation files are preserved inside
        54b5a5
        release-specific translation files.  For example, consider the English
        54b5a5
        template translation file of Anaconda progress welcome slide.  The
        54b5a5
        translation template directory structure looks like the following:
        54b5a5

        54b5a5
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        54b5a5
        `-- Tpl
        54b5a5
            `-- en
        54b5a5
                `-- 01-welcome.sed
        54b5a5
        54b5a5

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

        54b5a5
        releases, the translation entry would look like the following:
        54b5a5

        54b5a5
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        54b5a5
        |-- 4
        54b5a5
        |   `-- en
        54b5a5
        |       `-- 01-welcome.sed
        54b5a5
        |-- 5
        54b5a5
        |   `-- en
        54b5a5
        |       `-- 01-welcome.sed
        54b5a5
        `-- Tpl
        54b5a5
            `-- en
        54b5a5
                `-- 01-welcome.sed
        54b5a5
        54b5a5
        info

        Note

        Release-specific translation directories preserve

        54b5a5
        template translation directory structure and file names.
        54b5a5

        54b5a5
        54b5a5

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

        54b5a5
        following:
        54b5a5

        54b5a5
        # ------------------------------------------------------------
        54b5a5

        s!=URL=!http://www.centos.org/!
        54b5a5
        54b5a5

        and, after render the translation entry, specific translation files

        54b5a5
        look like the following:
        54b5a5

        54b5a5
        # Warning: Do not modify this file directly. This file is created
        54b5a5

        s!=MAJOR_RELEASE=!5!g
        54b5a5
        54b5a5

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

        54b5a5
        followed by a separation character (e.g., <samp>`/'</samp>, <samp>`!'</samp>, etc.).
        54b5a5
        These lines have the following format:
        54b5a5

        54b5a5
        s/REGEXP/REPLACEMENT/FLAGS
        54b5a5
        54b5a5

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

        54b5a5
        character within any given s command.  The <samp>`/'</samp>
        54b5a5
        character (or whatever other character is used in its stead) can
        54b5a5
        appear in the REGEXP or REPLACEMENT only if it is preceded by a
        54b5a5
        <samp>`\'</samp> character.
        54b5a5

        54b5a5

        The s command is probably the most important in

        54b5a5
        sed and has a lot of different options.  Its basic concept
        54b5a5
        is simple: the s command attempts to match the pattern space
        54b5a5
        against the supplied REGEXP; if the match is successful, then that
        54b5a5
        portion of the pattern space which was matched is replaced with
        54b5a5
        REPLACEMENT.
        54b5a5

        54b5a5

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

        54b5a5
        define translation markers and REPLACEMENT where you define the
        54b5a5
        translation text you want to have after artworks rendering.  Sometimes
        54b5a5
        we use the FLAG component with the <samp>`g'</samp> command to apply the
        54b5a5
        replacements globally.
        54b5a5

        54b5a5
        Info

        Tip

        More information about how to use sed's

        54b5a5
        replacement commands and flags is available in sed's
        54b5a5
        documentation manual. To read sed's documentation manual type the
        54b5a5
        following command: 
        54b5a5

        info sed
        54b5a5
        54b5a5
        54b5a5

        Inside translation files, you can use translation markers not only

        54b5a5
        inside the REGEXP but in the REPLACEMENT too. In order for this
        54b5a5
        configuration to work, the REPLACEMENT of translation markers needs to
        54b5a5
        be define after its definition. For example, see in the
        54b5a5
        release-specific translation file above, how the
        54b5a5
        <samp>`s!=MAJOR_RELASE=!5!g'</samp> replacement command is defined
        54b5a5
        after <samp>`=MAJOR_RELASE='</samp> translation marker definition in
        54b5a5
        the REPLACEMENT of <samp>`=TITLE='</samp> translation marker replacement
        54b5a5
        command.

        3.52.2.5 Common Translation Files

        54b5a5
        54b5a5

        Common translation files contain common translations or no

        54b5a5
        translation at all for their related artworks.  They are in the root
        54b5a5
        directory of the translation entry. Common translation files create
        54b5a5
        common artworks for all major releases of CentOS Distribution. 
        54b5a5

        54b5a5

        Translation entries, with common translation files inside, look like

        54b5a5
        the following:
        54b5a5

        54b5a5

        3.52.2.6 Specific Translation Files

        54b5a5
        54b5a5

        Specific translation files contain specific translations for their

        54b5a5
        related artworks. Specific translation files are not in the root
        54b5a5
        directory of the translation entry, but inside directories which
        54b5a5
        describe the type of translation they are doing. Specific translation
        54b5a5
        files are produced automatically using the centos-art
        54b5a5
        script.

        3.52.2.7 Translation Rendering

        54b5a5
        54b5a5

        When rendering translations, the centos-art script checks

        54b5a5
        the translation entry to verify that it has a translation template
        54b5a5
        directory inside. The translation template directory (<tt>`Tpl/'</tt>)
        54b5a5
        contains common translation files used to build release-specific
        54b5a5
        translation files. If the translation template directory doesn't exist
        54b5a5
        inside the translation entry the translation rendering fails. In this
        54b5a5
        case the centos-art script outputs a message and quits
        54b5a5
        script execution.

        3.52.2.8 Translation (Pre-)Rendering Configuration Scripts

        54b5a5
        54b5a5

        When the centos-art script finds a translation template

        54b5a5
        directory inside translation entry, it looks for translations
        54b5a5
        pre-rendering configuration scripts for that translation entry.
        54b5a5
        Translation pre-rendering configuration scripts let you extend
        54b5a5
        translation's default functionality (described below). 
        54b5a5

        54b5a5

        Translation pre-rendering configuration scripts are stored under

        54b5a5
        <tt>`trunk/Scripts'</tt> directory, specifically under the appropriate
        54b5a5
        language implementation. If you are using centos-art Bash's
        54b5a5
        implementation, the translation pre-rendering scripts are store in the
        54b5a5
        <tt>`trunk/Scripts/Bash/Config'</tt> location; if you are using
        54b5a5
        centos-art Python's implementation, then translation
        54b5a5
        pre-rendering scripts are stored in the
        54b5a5
        <tt>`trunk/Scripts/Python/Config'</tt> location, and so on for other
        54b5a5
        implementations.
        54b5a5

        54b5a5

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

        54b5a5
        following:
        54b5a5

        54b5a5
        #!/bin/bash
        54b5a5
        #
        54b5a5
        # render_loadConfig.sh -- brief description here.

        Translation pre-rendering scripts are function scripts loaded and

        54b5a5
        executed when rendering a translation entry. Translation pre-rendering
        54b5a5
        scripts are loaded using the translation entry being rendered as
        54b5a5
        reference. For example, suppose you are using the
        54b5a5
        centos-art Bash's implementation, and you are rendering
        54b5a5
        translations for CentOS brands, in this situation the translation
        54b5a5
        entry would be:
        54b5a5

        54b5a5
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Brands
        54b5a5
        54b5a5

        and the entry inside the translation pre-rendering configuration

        54b5a5
        structure would be:
        54b5a5

        54b5a5
        trunk/Scripts/Bash/Config/Identity/Brands
        54b5a5
        54b5a5

        Once the centos-art script detects that translation

        54b5a5
        pre-rendering configuration directory exists, the centos-art
        54b5a5
        script looks for the translation pre-rendering configuration file.  If
        54b5a5
        the translation pre-rendering configuration file exists, it is loaded
        54b5a5
        and executed.  Once the translation pre-rendering configuration file
        54b5a5
        has been executed the translation rendering process is over, and so
        54b5a5
        the script execution.
        54b5a5

        54b5a5
        info

        Note

        Translation pre-rendering configuration files have the

        54b5a5
        following form:
        54b5a5

        render.conf.extension
        54b5a5

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

        54b5a5
        you are using. For example, <samp>`sh'</samp> for Bash's, <samp>`py'</samp> for
        54b5a5
        Python's, <samp>`pl'</samp> for Perl's, and so on for other implementations.
        54b5a5

        54b5a5
        54b5a5

        As we are using Bash implementation to describe the translation

        54b5a5
        pre-rendering configuration example, the translation pre-rendering
        54b5a5
        configuration file that centos-art looks for, inside the
        54b5a5
        above translation pre-rendering configuration directory, is
        54b5a5
        <tt>`render.conf.sh'</tt>.

        3.52.2.9 Translation Rendering Default Functionality

        54b5a5
        54b5a5

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

        54b5a5
        doesn't exist, or it isn't written as function script, the
        54b5a5
        centos-art script ignore translation pre-rendering
        54b5a5
        configuration functionality and passes to render translation using
        54b5a5
        default functionality instead.
        54b5a5

        54b5a5

        The translation rendering default functionality takes template

        54b5a5
        translation directory structure, duplicates it for each release number
        54b5a5
        specified in the <samp>`--filter='release-number''</samp> argument and
        54b5a5
        produces release-specific directories. As part of template translation
        54b5a5
        duplication process take place, the centos-art script adds
        54b5a5
        release-specific replacement commands to each specific translation
        54b5a5
        file inside release-specific directories. As result, specific
        54b5a5
        translation files, inside release-specific directories, contain
        54b5a5
        template translation replacement commands plus,
        54b5a5
        release-specific replacement commands.
        54b5a5

        54b5a5
        info

        Note

        Release-specific replacement commands are standardized

        54b5a5
        inside centos-art script using predifined release
        54b5a5
        translation markers. Release translation markers are described in the
        54b5a5
        translation marker section
        54b5a5
        (see Translation Markers).

        3.52.3 Usage

        54b5a5
        54b5a5
        54b5a5
        <samp>`centos-art render --entry='path/to/dir''</samp>
        54b5a5
        54b5a5

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

        54b5a5
        <samp>`trunk/Translations'</samp>, this command orverwrites available
        54b5a5
        translation files using translation templates.
        54b5a5

        54b5a5
        54b5a5
        <samp>`centos-art render --entry='path/to/dir' --filter='pattern''</samp>
        54b5a5
        54b5a5

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

        54b5a5
        <tt>`trunk/Translations'</tt>, this command renders release-specific
        54b5a5
        translation files as you specify in the <samp>`--filter='pattern''</samp>
        54b5a5
        argument. In this case, <samp>`pattern'</samp> not a regular expression but an
        54b5a5
        number (e.g., <samp>`5'</samp>) or a list of numbers separated by commas
        54b5a5
        (e.g., <samp>`3,4,5,6'</samp>) that specify the major release of CentOS
        54b5a5
        distribution you want to render translations for.
