<h3 class="subsection"> 3.40.2 Description </h3>
<p>This command looks for <samp>`.sh'</samp> files inside Bash directory and
extracts translatable strings from files, using <code>xgettext</code>
command, in order to create a portable object template
(<tt>`centos-art.sh.pot'</tt>) file for them.
</p>
<p>With the <tt>`centos-art.sh.pot'</tt> file up to date, the
<code>centos-art</code> command removes the temporal list of files sotred
inside <tt>`/tmp'</tt> directory and checks the current language of your
user's session to create a portable object file for it, in the
location <tt>`$CLI_LANG/$CLI_LANG.po'</tt>.
</p>
<p>The <var>CLI_LANG</var> variable discribes the locale language used to
output messages inside <code>centos-art</code> command. The locale
language used inside <code>centos-art</code> command is taken from the
<code>LANG</code> environment variable. The <var>CLI_LANG</var> variable has the
<samp>`LL_CC'</samp> format, where <samp>`LL'</samp> is a language code from the
ISO-639 standard, and <samp>`CC'</samp> a country code from the ISO-3166
standard.
</p>
<p>The <code>LANG</code> environment variable is set when you do log in to your
system. If you are using a graphical session, change language to your
native language and do login. That would set and exoprt the <code>LANG</code>
environment variable to the correct value. On the other side, if you
are using a text session edit your <tt>`~/.bash_profile'</tt> file to set
and export the <code>LANG</code> environment variable to your native locale
as defines the <code>locale -a</code> command output; do logout, and do
login again.
</p>
<p>At this point, the <code>LANG</code> environment variable has the appropriate
value you need, in order to translate <code>centos-art.sh</code> messages
to your native language (the one set in <code>LANG</code> environment
variable).
</p>
<p>With the <tt>`$CLI_LANG/$CLI_LANG.po'</tt> file up to date, the
<code>centos-art</code> opens it for you to update translation strings.
The <code>centos-art</code> command uses the value of <var>EDITOR</var>
environment variable to determine your favorite text editor. If no
value is defined on <var>EDITOR</var>, the <tt>`/usr/bin/vim'</tt> text editor
is used as default.
</p>
<p>When you finish PO file's edition and quit text editor, the
<code>centos-art</code> command creates the related machine object in the
location <tt>`$CLI_LANG/LC_MESSAGES/$TEXTDOMAIN.mo'</tt>.
</p>
<p>At this point, all translations you made in the PO file should be
available to your language when runing <code>centos-art.sh</code> script.
</p>
<p>In order to make the <code>centos-art.sh</code> internationalization, the
<code>centos-art.sh</code> script was modified as described in the
<code>gettext</code> info documentation (<code>info gettext</code>). You
can find such modifications in the following files:
