Goals
-----

  * Organize brands' translation files.

Description
-----------

Translation files, inside trunk/Translations/Identity/Brands translation entry, don't use default rendering translation functionality, they use the following translation pre-rendering configuration file instead:

/home/centos/artwork/trunk/Translation/Identity/Brands/render.conf.sh

Inside trunk/Translations/Identity/Brands translation entry, translation files are symbolic links pointing to the common template translation structure, inside the translation template (Tpl/) directory.

Inside trunk/Translations/Identity/Brands translation entry, translation files are created using identity design templates as reference.  The translation pre-rendering script creates a translation structure where the translation template (Tpl/) directory structure applies to each single design template available.

For example, if the brands' translation template (Tpl/) directory has 30 translation files, and there are 20 design templates; the brands' translation pre-rendering script creates a translation structure of symbolic links where the 30 translation files apply the 20 design templates one by one, producing 600 translation symbolic links as result. At this point, when rendering identity, the centos-art script considers translation symbolic links as translation files.

Translation file names, inside brands' translation template (Tpl) directory have special meaning:

Conventional file names
.......................

Convenctional file names look like blue.sed, 2c-a.sed, etc.  Replacement commands inside translation file are applied to design templates and translation file names are used as final image name.  The image dimensions use the same dimensions that design template has.

Numeric file names
..................

Numeric file names look like 300.sed, 200.sed, etc. Replacements commands inside translation files are applied to design templates, and translation file names are used as final image name. The final image is saved using an specific width defined by the number part of the translation file name. The image height is automatically scaled based on the previous width definition to maintain the designing ratio.

For example, if your design template has 400x200 pixels of dimension, and you apply a translation file named `300.sed' to it, the final image you get as result will have 300x100 pixels of dimension.   The same is true if you use higher numbers like `1024.sed', `2048.sed', etc. In these cases you have bigger images proportionally.

As we are using scalable vector graphics to design identity templates, the image size you produce is not limitted in size. You can use one design template produced in 400x200 pixels to produce larger or shorter PNG images using numeric translation files as described above.

Translation markers
...................

Inside trunk/Translations/Identity/Brands/, translation files combine the following translation markers:

#000000

     Specify which color to use when rendering brand images.

          Note As translation files inside trunk/Translations/Identity/Brands are symbolic links that point to template translation files, translation markers are defined inside template translation files.

Usage
-----

To render brands' translation files, use the following command:

centos-art render --translation=/home/centos/artwork/trunk/Translations/Identity/Brands
