    3.52.2 Description

    bc3531
    5fb024

    When you create artwork for CentOS distribution you find that some

    5fb024
    artworks need to be created for different major releases of CentOS
    5fb024
    distribution and inside each major release they need to be created for
    5fb024
    different locales. To get an approximate idea of how many files we are
    5fb024
    talking about, consider the followig approximate statistic:
    5fb024

    5fb024
      5fb024
    • Inside CentOS distribution, there are around 30 images to
    • 5fb024
      rebrand.(2)
      5fb024
      5fb024
    • There are near to four major releases of CentOS distribution to
    • 5fb024
      rebrand in parallel development.(3) 
      5fb024
      5fb024
    • Each CentOS distribution in parallel development supports more
    • 5fb024
      than two hundreds locales.(4)
      5fb024
      5fb024
      5fb024

      In order to aliviate maintainance of artwork production for such

      5fb024
      environment, we divided artwork production in three production lines:
      5fb024

      5fb024
        5fb024
      1. See section trunk/Identity/Themes/Models, to define artworks
      2. 5fb024
        characteristics (e.g., dimensions, position on the screen, etc.).
        5fb024
      3. See section trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs, to define artworks visual
      4. 5fb024
        styles (e.g., the look and feel).
        5fb024
      5. Translations, to define which major releases and locales
      6. 5fb024
        artworks are produced for. 
        5fb024
        5fb024
        5fb024

        Inside CentOS Artwork Repository, the artworks' translation production

        5fb024
        line is stored under <tt>`trunk/Translations'</tt> directory.
        5fb024

        5fb024

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

        5fb024
        entries" to organize artworks' "translation files" and artworks'
        5fb024
        "translation templates".
        bc3531

        bc3531
        5fb024
        5fb024

        3.52.2.1 Translation Entries

        5fb024
        5fb024

        Translation entries exists for each artwork you want to produce.

        5fb024
        Translation entries can be empty directories, or directories
        5fb024
        containing translation files and translation templates.  
        5fb024

        5fb024

        When translation entries are empty directories, the identity entry is

        5fb024
        used as reference to create file names and directories layout for
        5fb024
        rendered files.  In this case, the centos-art script takes
        5fb024
        one design template and outputs one non-translated file for each
        5fb024
        design template available.  This configuration is mainly used to
        5fb024
        produce non-translatable artworks like themes' backgrounds.
        5fb024

        5fb024

        When translation entries contain translation files, the translation

        5fb024
        entry implements the CentOS release schema and is used as reference to
        5fb024
        create file names and directories layout for translated artworks. In
        5fb024
        this case, the centos-art script applies one translation
        5fb024
        file to one design template to create one translated instance which is
        5fb024
        used to output one translated file. When the translated file is
        5fb024
        rendered, the centos-art script remove the previous instance
        5fb024
        and takes the next file in the list of translation files to repate the
        5fb024
        whole process once again, and so on for all files in the list. This
        5fb024
        configuration is mainly used to produce translatable artworks like
        5fb024
        Anaconda's progress slide images.
        5fb024

        5fb024

        To find out correspondence between translation entries and identity

        5fb024
        entries, you need to look the path of both translation entries and
        5fb024
        identity entries. For example, if you are using the Modern's artisitic
        5fb024
        motif, the identity entry for Anaconda progress artwork is:
        5fb024

        5fb024
        trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/Modern/Distro/Anaconda/Progress
        5fb024
        5fb024

        and its translation entry is:

        5fb024

        5fb024
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/Anaconda/Progress
        bc3531
        5fb024

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

        5fb024
        directory, also how static values (e.g., Identity, Themes, Distro,
        5fb024
        etc.) in the identity's entry path remain in translation's entry path,
        5fb024
        and how variable values like theme names (e.g., Modern) are stript out
        5fb024
        from translation's entry path. The same convenction can be applied to
        5fb024
        other identity entries in order to determine their translation
        5fb024
        entries, or to other translation entries to determine their identity
        5fb024
        entries.
        5fb024

        5fb024
        info

        Note

        Translation entries related to identity entries under

        5fb024
        <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs'</tt> do not use <tt>`Motifs/'</tt> in the
        5fb024
        path.  We've done this because <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Models'</tt>
        5fb024
        structure, the other structure under <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes'</tt>,
        5fb024
        doesn't require translation paths so far. So in the sake of saving
        5fb024
        characters space when building translation entries for
        5fb024
        <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs'</tt> structure, we organize Motifs
        5fb024
        translation entries under <tt>`trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/'</tt>
        5fb024
        directly. 
        bc3531

        5fb024

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

        5fb024
        requires translation entries, we need to re-oraganize the current
        5fb024
        directory structure accordingly.
        bc3531

        300762
        5fb024

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

        5fb024
        identity entries. For example the following identity entries:
        5fb024

        5fb024
        trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/Modern/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        5fb024
        trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/TreeFlower/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        5fb024
        trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/Mettle/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        5fb024
        5fb024

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

        5fb024
        Anaconda progress translation entry (the one shown in our example
        5fb024
        above). This way, you can create several identity entries and maintain
        5fb024
        just one translation entry for all of them.  Once you change the
        5fb024
        translation files inside the common translation entry, changes inside
        5fb024
        identity entries will take effect inside the next you render them.
        5fb024

        5fb024

        Trying to make things plain and simple: inside CentOS Artwork

        5fb024
        Repository, graphic designers can concentrate their efforts in
        5fb024
        artworks look and feel (the identity entries), and translators in
        5fb024
        artworks translations (the translation entries).

        3.52.2.2 Translation Markers

        5fb024

        5fb024
        5fb024

        5fb024

        Translation markers are used in "Theme Model Designs" and

        5fb024
        "Translation Files" as replacement patterns to commit content
        5fb024
        translation.  When you are rendering content using
        5fb024
        centos-art script inisde <tt>`trunk/Identity'</tt> structure,
        5fb024
        artistic motifs and translation files are applied to model designs to
        5fb024
        produce translated content as result. In order to have the appropriate
        5fb024
        translation in content rendered, markers defintion in translation
        5fb024
        files should match markers in model designs exactly. 
        5fb024

        5fb024
        5fb024

        Translation Markers

        5fb024
        5fb024

        5fb024

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

        5fb024
        we use the following to represent releases of CentOS distribution:
        bc3531

        bc3531
        5fb024
        <samp>`=MINOR_RELEASE='</samp>
        5fb024

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

        5fb024
        release is represented by the N letter.
        bc3531

        5fb024
        <samp>`=MAJOR_RELEASE='</samp>
        5fb024

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

        5fb024
        the major release is represented by the M letter.
        bc3531

        5fb024
        <samp>`=RELEASE='</samp>
        5fb024

        Replace the full release of CentOS distribution. It is

        5fb024
        <samp>`=MAJOR_RELEASE=.=MINOR_RELEASE='</samp> basically. 
        bc3531

        bc3531
        300762
        5fb024

        Specific translation markers convenctions are described inside

        5fb024
        specific translation entries. Read translation entries documentation
        5fb024
        to know more about supported translation markers.
        5fb024

        5fb024

        Translation markers standardization creates a common point of

        5fb024
        reference for translators and graphic designers. To have translation
        5fb024
        markers well defined makes possible that translators and graphic
        5fb024
        designers can work together but independently one another.
        5fb024

        5fb024
        5fb024
        5fb024

        3.52.2.3 Translation Files

        300762
        5fb024

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

        5fb024
        replacement commands mainly. As convenction, translation file names
        5fb024
        end in <samp>`.sed'</samp>. Translation files are used by centos-art
        5fb024
        script to produce translated artworks for specific major releases of
        5fb024
        CentOS Distribution. There are common translation files, specific
        5fb024
        translation, and template translation files.
        5fb024

        5fb024

        For example, the Firstboot artwork of CentOS distribution uses the

        5fb024
        images <tt>`splash-small.png'</tt> and <tt>`firstboot-left.png'</tt> as based
        5fb024
        to control its visual style. The <tt>`splash-small.png'</tt> image
        5fb024
        contains, in its graphic design, the release number information of
        5fb024
        CentOS distribution. So the <tt>`splash-small.png'</tt> is
        5fb024
        release-specific. In the other hand, the <tt>`firstboot-left.png'</tt>
        5fb024
        doesn't contain release number information. So the
        5fb024
        <tt>`firstboot-left.png'</tt> is not release-specific.
        5fb024

        5fb024

        If we want to produce Firstboot artwork for different major releases

        5fb024
        of CentOS distribution, using a monolithic visual identity, all
        5fb024
        Firstboot images should have the same visual style and, at the same
        5fb024
        time, the release-specific information in the release-specific images. 
        5fb024

        5fb024
        info

        Note

        The monolithic visual identity is implemented using

        5fb024
        theme models (see section trunk/Identity/Themes/Models) and artistic
        5fb024
        motifs (see section trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs).
        5fb024

        300762
        5fb024

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

        5fb024
        the initial translation entry to produce Firstboot artworks would look
        5fb024
        like the following:
        5fb024

        5fb024
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/BootUp/Firstboot/
        5fb024
        |-- Tpl
        5fb024
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        5fb024
        `-- firstboot-left.sed
        5fb024
        5fb024

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

        5fb024
        to produce the image <tt>`firstboot-left.png'</tt> only. To produce
        5fb024
        <tt>`splash-small.png'</tt> images for major releases (e.g., 3, 4, 5, and
        5fb024
        6) of CentOS distribution we need to produce the release-specific
        5fb024
        translation files using the centos-art script as following:
        bc3531

        5fb024
        centos-art render --translation=/home/centos/artwork/trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/BootUp/Firstboot --filter='3,4,5,6'
        bc3531
        5fb024

        The above command produces the following translation entiry:

        5fb024

        5fb024
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/BootUp/Firstboot/
        5fb024
        |-- 3
        5fb024
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        5fb024

        5fb024
        5fb024

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

        5fb024
        artwork images for major releases of CentOS distribution. To add new
        5fb024
        release-specific translation files, run the translation rendering
        5fb024
        command with the release number you want to produce translation files
        5fb024
        for in the <samp>`--filter='release-number''</samp> argument.

        3.52.2.4 Template Translation Files

        300762
        5fb024

        Template translation files are translation files stored inside

        5fb024
        translation template directory. Template translation files are used by
        5fb024
        centos-art script to produce specific translation files
        5fb024
        only. Template translation files may be empty or contain
        5fb024
        sed's replacement commands. If template translation files
        5fb024
        are empty files, the final specifc translation file built from it
        5fb024
        contains release-specific replacement commands only. For example,
        5fb024
        see the following translation entry:
        5fb024

        5fb024
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/BootUp/Firstboot/
        5fb024
        |-- 3
        5fb024
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        5fb024
        |-- 4
        5fb024
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        5fb024
        |-- 5
        5fb024
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        5fb024
        |-- 6
        5fb024
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        5fb024
        |-- Tpl
        5fb024
        |   `-- splash-small.sed    <-- template translation file.
        5fb024
        `-- firstboot-left.sed
        5fb024
        5fb024

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

        5fb024
        translation file and looks like:
        5fb024

        5fb024
        # -------------------------------------
        5fb024
        # $Id: Translations.texi 94 2010-09-18 10:59:42Z al $
        5fb024
        # -------------------------------------
        5fb024
        5fb024

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

        5fb024
        but when you render it, the centos-art adds the
        5fb024
        release-specific replacement commands. In our Firstboot example, after
        5fb024
        rendering Firstboot translation entry, the <tt>`splash-small.sed'</tt>
        5fb024
        translation file specific to CentOS 5, looks like the following:
        5fb024

        5fb024
        # Warning: Do not modify this file directly. This file is created
        5fb024
        # automatically using 'centos-art' command line interface.  Any change
        5fb024
        # you do in this file will be lost the next time you update
        5fb024
        # translation files using 'centos-art' command line interface. If you
        5fb024
        # want to improve the content of this translation file, improve its
        5fb024
        # template file instead and run the 'centos-art' command line
        5fb024
        # interface later to propagate your changes.
        5fb024
        # -------------------------------------
        5fb024
        # $Id: Translations.texi 94 2010-09-18 10:59:42Z al $
        5fb024
        # -------------------------------------
        5fb024
        5fb024
        # Release number information.
        5fb024
        s!=RELEASE=!=MAJOR_RELEASE=.=MINOR_RELEASE=!g
        5fb024
        s!=MINOR_RELEASE=!0!g
        5fb024
        s!=MAJOR_RELEASE=!5!g
        5fb024
        5fb024

        If template translation files are not empty, replacement commands

        5fb024
        inside template translation files are preserved inside
        5fb024
        release-specific translation files.  For example, consider the English
        5fb024
        template translation file of Anaconda progress welcome slide.  The
        5fb024
        translation template directory structure looks like the following:
        5fb024

        5fb024
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        5fb024
        `-- Tpl
        5fb024
            `-- en
        5fb024
                `-- 01-welcome.sed
        5fb024
        5fb024

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

        5fb024
        releases, the translation entry would look like the following:
        5fb024

        5fb024
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        5fb024
        |-- 4
        5fb024
        |   `-- en
        5fb024
        |       `-- 01-welcome.sed
        5fb024
        |-- 5
        5fb024
        |   `-- en
        5fb024
        |       `-- 01-welcome.sed
        5fb024
        `-- Tpl
        5fb024
            `-- en
        5fb024
                `-- 01-welcome.sed
        5fb024
        5fb024
        info

        Note

        Release-specific translation directories preserve

        5fb024
        template translation directory structure and file names.
        5fb024

        5fb024
        5fb024

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

        5fb024
        following:
        5fb024

        5fb024
        # ------------------------------------------------------------
        5fb024
        # $Id: Translations.texi 94 2010-09-18 10:59:42Z al $

        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./
        5fb024
        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./

        s!=URL=!http://www.centos.org/!
        5fb024
        5fb024

        and, after render the translation entry, specific translation files

        5fb024
        look like the following:
        5fb024

        5fb024
        # Warning: Do not modify this file directly. This file is created
        5fb024

        5fb024
        s/=TEXT4=//
        5fb024
        s/=TEXT5=//
        5fb024
        s/=TEXT6=//
        5fb024
        s!=URL=!http://www.centos.org/!
        5fb024

        5fb024
        s!=MINOR_RELEASE=!0!g
        5fb024
        s!=MAJOR_RELEASE=!5!g
        5fb024
        5fb024

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

        5fb024
        followed by a separation character (e.g., <samp>`/'</samp>, <samp>`!'</samp>, etc.).
        5fb024
        These lines have the following format:
        5fb024

        5fb024
        s/REGEXP/REPLACEMENT/FLAGS
        5fb024
        5fb024

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

        5fb024
        character within any given s command.  The <samp>`/'</samp>
        5fb024
        character (or whatever other character is used in its stead) can
        5fb024
        appear in the REGEXP or REPLACEMENT only if it is preceded by a
        5fb024
        <samp>`\'</samp> character.
        5fb024

        5fb024

        The s command is probably the most important in

        5fb024
        sed and has a lot of different options.  Its basic concept
        5fb024
        is simple: the s command attempts to match the pattern space
        5fb024
        against the supplied REGEXP; if the match is successful, then that
        5fb024
        portion of the pattern space which was matched is replaced with
        5fb024
        REPLACEMENT.
        5fb024

        5fb024

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

        5fb024
        define translation markers and REPLACEMENT where you define the
        5fb024
        translation text you want to have after artworks rendering.  Sometimes
        5fb024
        we use the FLAG component with the <samp>`g'</samp> command to apply the
        5fb024
        replacements globally.
        5fb024

        5fb024
        Info

        Tip

        More information about how to use sed's

        5fb024
        replacement commands and flags is available in sed's
        5fb024
        documentation manual. To read sed's documentation manual type the
        5fb024
        following command: 
        5fb024

        info sed
        5fb024
        5fb024
        5fb024

        Inside translation files, you can use translation markers not only

        5fb024
        inside the REGEXP but in the REPLACEMENT too. In order for this
        5fb024
        configuration to work, the REPLACEMENT of translation markers needs to
        5fb024
        be define after its definition. For example, see in the
        5fb024
        release-specific translation file above, how the
        5fb024
        <samp>`s!=MAJOR_RELASE=!5!g'</samp> replacement command is defined
        5fb024
        after <samp>`=MAJOR_RELASE='</samp> translation marker definition in
        5fb024
        the REPLACEMENT of <samp>`=TITLE='</samp> translation marker replacement
        5fb024
        command.

        3.52.2.5 Common Translation Files

        5fb024
        5fb024

        Common translation files contain common translations or no

        5fb024
        translation at all for their related artworks.  They are in the root
        5fb024
        directory of the translation entry. Common translation files create
        5fb024
        common artworks for all major releases of CentOS Distribution. 
        5fb024

        5fb024

        Translation entries, with common translation files inside, look like

        5fb024
        the following:
        5fb024

        5fb024
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/BootUp/Firstboot/

        5fb024
        5fb024
        5fb024
        5fb024

        3.52.2.6 Specific Translation Files

        5fb024
        5fb024

        Specific translation files contain specific translations for their

        5fb024
        related artworks. Specific translation files are not in the root
        5fb024
        directory of the translation entry, but inside directories which
        5fb024
        describe the type of translation they are doing. Specific translation
        5fb024
        files are produced automatically using the centos-art
        5fb024
        script.
        5fb024

        5fb024

        5fb024
        |-- 4
        5fb024
        |   `-- splash-small.sed    <-- CentOS 4 specific translation file.
        5fb024
        |-- 5
        5fb024
        |   `-- splash-small.sed    <-- CentOS 5 specific translation file.
        5fb024
        |-- 6
        5fb024
        |   `-- splash-small.sed    <-- CentOS 6 specific translation file.
        5fb024
        |-- Tpl
        5fb024
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        5fb024
        `-- firstboot-left.sed
        5fb024
        5fb024
        5fb024
        5fb024

        3.52.2.7 Translation Rendering

        5fb024
        5fb024

        When rendering translations, the centos-art script checks

        5fb024
        the translation entry to verify that it has a translation template
        5fb024
        directory inside. The translation template directory (<tt>`Tpl/'</tt>)
        5fb024
        contains common translation files used to build release-specific
        5fb024
        translation files. If the translation template directory doesn't exist
        5fb024
        inside the translation entry the translation rendering fails. In this
        5fb024
        case the centos-art script outputs a message and quits
        5fb024
        script execution.
        5fb024

        5fb024
        5fb024
        5fb024

        3.52.2.8 Translation (Pre-)Rendering Configuration Scripts

        5fb024
        5fb024

        When the centos-art script finds a translation template

        5fb024
        directory inside translation entry, it looks for translations
        5fb024
        pre-rendering configuration scripts for that translation entry.
        5fb024
        Translation pre-rendering configuration scripts let you extend
        5fb024
        translation's default functionality (described below). 
        5fb024

        5fb024

        Translation pre-rendering configuration scripts are stored under

        5fb024
        <tt>`trunk/Scripts'</tt> directory, specifically under the appropriate
        5fb024
        language implementation. If you are using centos-art Bash's
        5fb024
        implementation, the translation pre-rendering scripts are store in the
        5fb024
        <tt>`trunk/Scripts/Bash/Config'</tt> location; if you are using
        5fb024
        centos-art Python's implementation, then translation
        5fb024
        pre-rendering scripts are stored in the
        5fb024
        <tt>`trunk/Scripts/Python/Config'</tt> location, and so on for other
        5fb024
        implementations.
        5fb024

        5fb024

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

        5fb024
        following:
        5fb024

        5fb024
        #!/bin/bash
        5fb024
        #
        5fb024
        # loadConfiguration.sh -- brief description here.

        function loadConfiguration {
        5fb024

        }
        5fb024
        5fb024

        Translation pre-rendering scripts are function scripts loaded and

        5fb024
        executed when rendering a translation entry. Translation pre-rendering
        5fb024
        scripts are loaded using the translation entry being rendered as
        5fb024
        reference. For example, suppose you are using the
        5fb024
        centos-art Bash's implementation, and you are rendering
        5fb024
        translations for CentOS brands, in this situation the translation
        5fb024
        entry would be:
        5fb024

        5fb024
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Brands
        5fb024
        5fb024

        and the entry inside the translation pre-rendering configuration

        5fb024
        structure would be:
        5fb024

        5fb024
        trunk/Scripts/Bash/Config/Identity/Brands
        5fb024
        5fb024

        Once the centos-art script detects that translation

        5fb024
        pre-rendering configuration directory exists, the centos-art
        5fb024
        script looks for the translation pre-rendering configuration file.  If
        5fb024
        the translation pre-rendering configuration file exists, it is loaded
        5fb024
        and executed.  Once the translation pre-rendering configuration file
        5fb024
        has been executed the translation rendering process is over, and so
        5fb024
        the script execution.
        5fb024

        5fb024
        info

        Note

        Translation pre-rendering configuration files have the

        5fb024
        following form:
        5fb024

        render.conf.extension
        5fb024

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

        5fb024
        you are using. For example, <samp>`sh'</samp> for Bash's, <samp>`py'</samp> for
        5fb024
        Python's, <samp>`pl'</samp> for Perl's, and so on for other implementations.
        5fb024

        5fb024
        5fb024

        As we are using Bash implementation to describe the translation

        5fb024
        pre-rendering configuration example, the translation pre-rendering
        5fb024
        configuration file that centos-art looks for, inside the
        5fb024
        above translation pre-rendering configuration directory, is
        5fb024
        <tt>`render.conf.sh'</tt>.

        3.52.2.9 Translation Rendering Default Functionality

        5fb024
        5fb024

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

        5fb024
        doesn't exist, or it isn't written as function script, the
        5fb024
        centos-art script ignore translation pre-rendering
        5fb024
        configuration functionality and passes to render translation using
        5fb024
        default functionality instead.
        5fb024

        5fb024

        The translation rendering default functionality takes template

        5fb024
        translation directory structure, duplicates it for each release number
        5fb024
        specified in the <samp>`--filter='release-number''</samp> argument and
        5fb024
        produces release-specific directories. As part of template translation
        5fb024
        duplication process take place, the centos-art script adds
        5fb024
        release-specific replacement commands to each specific translation
        5fb024
        file inside release-specific directories. As result, specific
        5fb024
        translation files, inside release-specific directories, contain
        5fb024
        template translation replacement commands plus,
        5fb024
        release-specific replacement commands.
        5fb024

        5fb024
        info

        Note

        Release-specific replacement commands are standardized

        5fb024
        inside centos-art script using predifined release
        5fb024
        translation markers. Release translation markers are described in the
        5fb024
        translation marker section
        5fb024
        (see Translation Markers).

        3.52.3 Usage

        5fb024
        5fb024
        5fb024
        <samp>`centos-art render 'path/to/dir''</samp>
        5fb024
        5fb024

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

        5fb024
        <samp>`trunk/Translations'</samp>, this command orverwrites available
        5fb024
        translation files using translation templates.
        5fb024

        5fb024
        5fb024
        <samp>`centos-art render 'path/to/dir' --filter='pattern''</samp>
        5fb024
        5fb024

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

        5fb024
        <tt>`trunk/Translations'</tt>, this command renders release-specific
        5fb024
        translation files as you specify in the <samp>`--filter='pattern''</samp>
        5fb024
        argument. In this case, <samp>`pattern'</samp> not a regular expression but an
        5fb024
        number (e.g., <samp>`5'</samp>) or a list of numbers separated by commas
        5fb024
        (e.g., <samp>`3,4,5,6'</samp>) that specify the major release of CentOS
        5fb024
        distribution you want to render translations for.
