    3.50.2 Description

    55c2ff
    749e81

    When you create artwork for CentOS distribution you find that some

    749e81
    artworks need to be created for different major releases of CentOS
    749e81
    distribution and inside each major release they need to be created for
    749e81
    different locales. To get an approximate idea of how many files we are
    749e81
    talking about, consider the followig approximate statistic:
    749e81

    63f275
      749e81
    • Inside CentOS distribution, there are around 30 images to
    • 749e81
      rebrand.(2)
      749e81
      749e81
    • There are near to four major releases of CentOS distribution to
    • 749e81
      rebrand in parallel development.(3) 
      749e81
      749e81
    • Each CentOS distribution in parallel development supports more
    • 749e81
      than two hundreds locales.(4)
      63f275
      63f275
      749e81

      In order to aliviate maintainance of artwork production for such

      749e81
      environment, we divided artwork production in three production lines:
      749e81

      749e81
        749e81
      1. See section trunk/Identity/Themes/Models, to define artworks
      2. 749e81
        characteristics (e.g., dimensions, position on the screen, etc.).
        749e81
      3. See section trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs, to define artworks visual
      4. 749e81
        styles (e.g., the look and feel).
        749e81
      5. Translations, to define which major releases and locales
      6. 749e81
        artworks are produced for. 
        749e81
        749e81
        749e81

        Inside CentOS Artwork Repository, the artworks' translation production

        749e81
        line is stored under <tt>`trunk/Translations'</tt> directory.
        749e81

        749e81

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

        749e81
        entries" to organize artworks' "translation files" and artworks'
        749e81
        "translation templates".
        749e81

        3.50.2.1 Translation Entries

        c6292c
        749e81

        Translation entries exists for each artwork you want to produce.

        749e81
        Translation entries can be empty directories, or directories
        749e81
        containing translation files and translation templates.  
        749e81

        749e81

        When translation entries are empty directories, the identity entry is

        749e81
        used as reference to create file names and directories layout for
        749e81
        rendered files.  In this case, the centos-art script takes
        749e81
        one design template and outputs one non-translated file for each
        749e81
        design template available.  This configuration is mainly used to
        749e81
        produce non-translatable artworks like themes' backgrounds.
        749e81

        749e81

        When translation entries contain translation files, the translation

        749e81
        entry implements the CentOS release schema and is used as reference to
        749e81
        create file names and directories layout for translated artworks. In
        749e81
        this case, the centos-art script applies one translation
        749e81
        file to one design template to create one translated instance which is
        749e81
        used to output one translated file. When the translated file is
        749e81
        rendered, the centos-art script remove the previous instance
        749e81
        and takes the next file in the list of translation files to repate the
        749e81
        whole process once again, and so on for all files in the list. This
        749e81
        configuration is mainly used to produce translatable artworks like
        749e81
        Anaconda's progress slide images.
        749e81

        749e81

        To find out correspondence between translation entries and identity

        749e81
        entries, you need to look the path of both translation entries and
        749e81
        identity entries. For example, if you are using the Modern's artisitic
        749e81
        motif, the identity entry for Anaconda progress artwork is:
        749e81

        749e81
        trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/Modern/Distro/Anaconda/Progress
        749e81
        749e81

        and its translation entry is:

        749e81

        749e81
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/Anaconda/Progress
        749e81
        749e81

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

        749e81
        directory, also how static values (e.g., Identity, Themes, Distro,
        749e81
        etc.) in the identity's entry path remain in translation's entry path,
        749e81
        and how variable values like theme names (e.g., Modern) are stript out
        749e81
        from translation's entry path. The same convenction can be applied to
        749e81
        other identity entries in order to determine their translation
        749e81
        entries, or to other translation entries to determine their identity
        749e81
        entries.
        749e81

        749e81
        info

        Note

        Translation entries related to identity entries under

        749e81
        <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs'</tt> do not use <tt>`Motifs/'</tt> in the
        749e81
        path.  We've done this because <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Models'</tt>
        749e81
        structure, the other structure under <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes'</tt>,
        749e81
        doesn't require translation paths so far. So in the sake of saving
        749e81
        characters space when building translation entries for
        749e81
        <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs'</tt> structure, we organize Motifs
        749e81
        translation entries under <tt>`trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/'</tt>
        749e81
        directly. 
        749e81

        749e81

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

        749e81
        requires translation entries, we need to re-oraganize the current
        749e81
        directory structure accordingly.
        749e81

        c6292c
        749e81

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

        749e81
        identity entries. For example the following identity entries:
        749e81

        749e81
        trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/Modern/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        749e81
        trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/TreeFlower/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        749e81
        trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/Mettle/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        749e81
        749e81

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

        749e81
        Anaconda progress translation entry (the one shown in our example
        749e81
        above). This way, you can create several identity entries and maintain
        749e81
        just one translation entry for all of them.  Once you change the
        749e81
        translation files inside the common translation entry, changes inside
        749e81
        identity entries will take effect inside the next you render them.
        749e81

        749e81

        Trying to make things plain and simple: inside CentOS Artwork

        749e81
        Repository, graphic designers can concentrate their efforts in
        749e81
        artworks look and feel (the identity entries), and translators in
        749e81
        artworks translations (the translation entries).

        3.50.2.2 Translation Markers

        749e81

        749e81
        749e81

        749e81

        Translation markers are used in "Theme Model Designs" and

        749e81
        "Translation Files" as replacement patterns to commit content
        749e81
        translation.  When you are rendering content using
        749e81
        centos-art script inisde <tt>`trunk/Identity'</tt> structure,
        749e81
        artistic motifs and translation files are applied to model designs to
        749e81
        produce translated content as result. In order to have the appropriate
        749e81
        translation in content rendered, markers defintion in translation
        749e81
        files should match markers in model designs exactly. 
        749e81

        749e81

        749e81

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

        749e81
        we use the following to represent releases of CentOS distribution:
        749e81

        749e81
        749e81
        <samp>`=MINOR_RELEASE='</samp>
        749e81

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

        749e81
        release is represented by the N letter.
        749e81

        749e81
        <samp>`=MAJOR_RELEASE='</samp>
        749e81

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

        749e81
        the major release is represented by the M letter.
        749e81

        749e81
        <samp>`=RELEASE='</samp>
        749e81

        Replace the full release of CentOS distribution. It is

        749e81
        <samp>`=MAJOR_RELEASE=.=MINOR_RELEASE='</samp> basically. 
        749e81

        749e81
        749e81
        749e81

        Specific translation markers convenctions are described inside

        749e81
        specific translation entries. Read translation entries documentation
        749e81
        to know more about supported translation markers.
        749e81

        749e81

        Translation markers standardization creates a common point of

        749e81
        reference for translators and graphic designers. To have translation
        749e81
        markers well defined makes possible that translators and graphic
        749e81
        designers can work together but independently one another.
        749e81

        3.50.2.3 Translation Files

        749e81
        749e81

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

        749e81
        replacement commands mainly. As convenction, translation file names
        749e81
        end in <samp>`.sed'</samp>. Translation files are used by centos-art
        749e81
        script to produce translated artworks for specific major releases of
        749e81
        CentOS Distribution. There are common translation files, specific
        749e81
        translation, and template translation files.
        749e81

        749e81

        For example, the Firstboot artwork of CentOS distribution uses the

        749e81
        images <tt>`splash-small.png'</tt> and <tt>`firstboot-left.png'</tt> as based
        749e81
        to control its visual style. The <tt>`splash-small.png'</tt> image
        749e81
        contains, in its graphic design, the release number information of
        749e81
        CentOS distribution. So the <tt>`splash-small.png'</tt> is
        749e81
        release-specific. In the other hand, the <tt>`firstboot-left.png'</tt>
        749e81
        doesn't contain release number information. So the
        749e81
        <tt>`firstboot-left.png'</tt> is not release-specific.
        749e81

        749e81

        If we want to produce Firstboot artwork for different major releases

        749e81
        of CentOS distribution, using a monolithic visual identity, all
        749e81
        Firstboot images should have the same visual style and, at the same
        749e81
        time, the release-specific information in the release-specific images. 
        749e81

        749e81
        info

        Note

        The monolithic visual identity is implemented using

        749e81
        theme models (see section trunk/Identity/Themes/Models) and artistic
        749e81
        motifs (see section trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs).
        749e81

        749e81
        749e81

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

        749e81
        the initial translation entry to produce Firstboot artworks would look
        749e81
        like the following:
        749e81

        749e81
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/BootUp/Firstboot/
        749e81
        |-- Tpl
        749e81
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        749e81
        `-- firstboot-left.sed
        749e81
        749e81

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

        749e81
        to produce the image <tt>`firstboot-left.png'</tt> only. To produce
        749e81
        <tt>`splash-small.png'</tt> images for major releases (e.g., 3, 4, 5, and
        749e81
        6) of CentOS distribution we need to produce the release-specific
        749e81
        translation files using the centos-art script as following:
        749e81

        749e81
        centos-art render --entry=/home/centos/artwork/trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/BootUp/Firstboot --filter='3,4,5,6'
        749e81
        749e81

        The above command produces the following translation entiry:

        749e81

        749e81
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/BootUp/Firstboot/
        749e81
        |-- 3
        749e81
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        749e81

        749e81
        `-- firstboot-left.sed
        749e81
        749e81

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

        749e81
        artwork images for major releases of CentOS distribution. To add new
        749e81
        release-specific translation files, run the translation rendering
        749e81
        command with the release number you want to produce translation files
        749e81
        for in the <samp>`--filter='release-number''</samp> argument.

        3.50.2.4 Template Translation Files

        749e81
        749e81

        Template translation files are translation files stored inside

        749e81
        translation template directory. Template translation files are used by
        749e81
        centos-art script to produce specific translation files
        749e81
        only. Template translation files may be empty or contain
        749e81
        sed's replacement commands. If template translation files
        749e81
        are empty files, the final specifc translation file built from it
        749e81
        contains release-specific replacement commands only. For example,
        749e81
        see the following translation entry:
        749e81

        749e81
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/BootUp/Firstboot/
        749e81
        |-- 3
        749e81
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        749e81
        |-- 4
        749e81
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        749e81
        |-- 5
        749e81
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        749e81
        |-- 6
        749e81
        |   `-- splash-small.sed
        749e81
        |-- Tpl
        749e81
        |   `-- splash-small.sed    <-- template translation file.
        749e81
        `-- firstboot-left.sed
        749e81
        749e81

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

        749e81
        translation file and looks like:
        749e81

        749e81
        # -------------------------------------
        749e81
        # $Id: splash-small.sed 94 2010-09-18 10:59:42Z al $
        749e81
        # -------------------------------------
        749e81
        749e81

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

        749e81
        but when you render it, the centos-art adds the
        749e81
        release-specific replacement commands. In our Firstboot example, after
        749e81
        rendering Firstboot translation entry, the <tt>`splash-small.sed'</tt>
        749e81
        translation file specific to CentOS 5, looks like the following:
        749e81

        749e81
        # Warning: Do not modify this file directly. This file is created
        749e81
        # automatically using 'centos-art' command line interface.  Any change
        749e81
        # you do in this file will be lost the next time you update
        749e81
        # translation files using 'centos-art' command line interface. If you
        749e81
        # want to improve the content of this translation file, improve its
        749e81
        # template file instead and run the 'centos-art' command line
        749e81
        # interface later to propagate your changes.
        749e81
        # -------------------------------------
        749e81
        # $Id: splash-small.sed 94 2010-09-18 10:59:42Z al $
        749e81
        # -------------------------------------
        749e81
        749e81
        # Release number information.
        749e81
        s!=RELEASE=!=MAJOR_RELEASE=.=MINOR_RELEASE=!g
        749e81
        s!=MINOR_RELEASE=!0!g
        749e81
        s!=MAJOR_RELEASE=!5!g
        749e81
        749e81

        If template translation files are not empty, replacement commands

        749e81
        inside template translation files are preserved inside
        749e81
        release-specific translation files.  For example, consider the English
        749e81
        template translation file of Anaconda progress welcome slide.  The
        749e81
        translation template directory structure looks like the following:
        749e81

        749e81
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        749e81
        `-- Tpl
        749e81
            `-- en
        749e81
                `-- 01-welcome.sed
        749e81
        749e81

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

        749e81
        releases, the translation entry would look like the following:
        749e81

        749e81
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Themes/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/
        749e81
        |-- 4
        749e81
        |   `-- en
        749e81
        |       `-- 01-welcome.sed
        749e81
        |-- 5
        749e81
        |   `-- en
        749e81
        |       `-- 01-welcome.sed
        749e81
        `-- Tpl
        749e81
            `-- en
        749e81
                `-- 01-welcome.sed
        749e81
        749e81
        info

        Note

        Release-specific translation directories preserve

        749e81
        template translation directory structure and file names.
        749e81

        749e81
        749e81

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

        749e81
        following:
        749e81

        749e81
        # ------------------------------------------------------------
        749e81
        # $Id: 01-welcome.sed 94 2010-09-18 10:59:42Z al $

        s!=URL=!http://www.centos.org/!
        749e81
        749e81

        and, after render the translation entry, specific translation files

        749e81
        look like the following:
        749e81

        749e81
        # Warning: Do not modify this file directly. This file is created
        749e81

        s!=MAJOR_RELEASE=!5!g
        749e81
        749e81

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

        749e81
        followed by a separation character (e.g., <samp>`/'</samp>, <samp>`!'</samp>, etc.).
        749e81
        These lines have the following format:
        749e81

        749e81
        s/REGEXP/REPLACEMENT/FLAGS
        749e81
        749e81

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

        749e81
        character within any given s command.  The <samp>`/'</samp>
        749e81
        character (or whatever other character is used in its stead) can
        749e81
        appear in the REGEXP or REPLACEMENT only if it is preceded by a
        749e81
        <samp>`\'</samp> character.
        749e81

        749e81

        The s command is probably the most important in

        749e81
        sed and has a lot of different options.  Its basic concept
        749e81
        is simple: the s command attempts to match the pattern space
        749e81
        against the supplied REGEXP; if the match is successful, then that
        749e81
        portion of the pattern space which was matched is replaced with
        749e81
        REPLACEMENT.
        749e81

        749e81

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

        749e81
        define translation markers and REPLACEMENT where you define the
        749e81
        translation text you want to have after artworks rendering.  Sometimes
        749e81
        we use the FLAG component with the <samp>`g'</samp> command to apply the
        749e81
        replacements globally.
        749e81

        749e81
        Info

        Tip

        More information about how to use sed's

        749e81
        replacement commands and flags is available in sed's
        749e81
        documentation manual. To read sed's documentation manual type the
        749e81
        following command: 
        749e81

        info sed
        749e81
        749e81
        749e81

        Inside translation files, you can use translation markers not only

        749e81
        inside the REGEXP but in the REPLACEMENT too. In order for this
        749e81
        configuration to work, the REPLACEMENT of translation markers needs to
        749e81
        be define after its definition. For example, see in the
        749e81
        release-specific translation file above, how the
        749e81
        <samp>`s!=MAJOR_RELASE=!5!g'</samp> replacement command is defined
        749e81
        after <samp>`=MAJOR_RELASE='</samp> translation marker definition in
        749e81
        the REPLACEMENT of <samp>`=TITLE='</samp> translation marker replacement
        749e81
        command.

        3.50.2.5 Common Translation Files

        749e81
        749e81

        Common translation files contain common translations or no

        749e81
        translation at all for their related artworks.  They are in the root
        749e81
        directory of the translation entry. Common translation files create
        749e81
        common artworks for all major releases of CentOS Distribution. 
        749e81

        749e81

        Translation entries, with common translation files inside, look like

        749e81
        the following:
        749e81

        749e81

        3.50.2.6 Specific Translation Files

        749e81
        749e81

        Specific translation files contain specific translations for their

        749e81
        related artworks. Specific translation files are not in the root
        749e81
        directory of the translation entry, but inside directories which
        749e81
        describe the type of translation they are doing. Specific translation
        749e81
        files are produced automatically using the centos-art
        749e81
        script.

        3.50.2.7 Translation Rendering

        749e81
        749e81

        When rendering translations, the centos-art script checks

        749e81
        the translation entry to verify that it has a translation template
        749e81
        directory inside. The translation template directory (<tt>`Tpl/'</tt>)
        749e81
        contains common translation files used to build release-specific
        749e81
        translation files. If the translation template directory doesn't exist
        749e81
        inside the translation entry the translation rendering fails. In this
        749e81
        case the centos-art script outputs a message and quits
        749e81
        script execution.

        3.50.2.8 Translation (Pre-)Rendering Configuration Scripts

        749e81
        749e81

        When the centos-art script finds a translation template

        749e81
        directory inside translation entry, it looks for translations
        749e81
        pre-rendering configuration scripts for that translation entry.
        749e81
        Translation pre-rendering configuration scripts let you extend
        749e81
        translation's default functionality (described below). 
        749e81

        749e81

        Translation pre-rendering configuration scripts are stored under

        749e81
        <tt>`trunk/Scripts'</tt> directory, specifically under the appropriate
        749e81
        language implementation. If you are using centos-art Bash's
        749e81
        implementation, the translation pre-rendering scripts are store in the
        749e81
        <tt>`trunk/Scripts/Bash/Config'</tt> location; if you are using
        749e81
        centos-art Python's implementation, then translation
        749e81
        pre-rendering scripts are stored in the
        749e81
        <tt>`trunk/Scripts/Python/Config'</tt> location, and so on for other
        749e81
        implementations.
        749e81

        749e81

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

        749e81
        following:
        749e81

        749e81
        #!/bin/bash
        749e81
        #
        749e81
        # render_loadConfig.sh -- brief description here.

        Translation pre-rendering scripts are function scripts loaded and

        749e81
        executed when rendering a translation entry. Translation pre-rendering
        749e81
        scripts are loaded using the translation entry being rendered as
        749e81
        reference. For example, suppose you are using the
        749e81
        centos-art Bash's implementation, and you are rendering
        749e81
        translations for CentOS brands, in this situation the translation
        749e81
        entry would be:
        749e81

        749e81
        trunk/Translations/Identity/Brands
        749e81
        749e81

        and the entry inside the translation pre-rendering configuration

        749e81
        structure would be:
        749e81

        749e81
        trunk/Scripts/Bash/Config/Identity/Brands
        749e81
        749e81

        Once the centos-art script detects that translation

        749e81
        pre-rendering configuration directory exists, the centos-art
        749e81
        script looks for the translation pre-rendering configuration file.  If
        749e81
        the translation pre-rendering configuration file exists, it is loaded
        749e81
        and executed.  Once the translation pre-rendering configuration file
        749e81
        has been executed the translation rendering process is over, and so
        749e81
        the script execution.
        749e81

        749e81
        info

        Note

        Translation pre-rendering configuration files have the

        749e81
        following form:
        749e81

        render.conf.extension
        749e81

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

        749e81
        you are using. For example, <samp>`sh'</samp> for Bash's, <samp>`py'</samp> for
        749e81
        Python's, <samp>`pl'</samp> for Perl's, and so on for other implementations.
        749e81

        749e81
        749e81

        As we are using Bash implementation to describe the translation

        749e81
        pre-rendering configuration example, the translation pre-rendering
        749e81
        configuration file that centos-art looks for, inside the
        749e81
        above translation pre-rendering configuration directory, is
        749e81
        <tt>`render.conf.sh'</tt>.

        3.50.2.9 Translation Rendering Default Functionality

        749e81
        749e81

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

        749e81
        doesn't exist, or it isn't written as function script, the
        749e81
        centos-art script ignore translation pre-rendering
        749e81
        configuration functionality and passes to render translation using
        749e81
        default functionality instead.
        749e81

        749e81

        The translation rendering default functionality takes template

        749e81
        translation directory structure, duplicates it for each release number
        749e81
        specified in the <samp>`--filter='release-number''</samp> argument and
        749e81
        produces release-specific directories. As part of template translation
        749e81
        duplication process take place, the centos-art script adds
        749e81
        release-specific replacement commands to each specific translation
        749e81
        file inside release-specific directories. As result, specific
        749e81
        translation files, inside release-specific directories, contain
        749e81
        template translation replacement commands plus,
        749e81
        release-specific replacement commands.
        749e81

        749e81
        info

        Note

        Release-specific replacement commands are standardized

        749e81
        inside centos-art script using predifined release
        749e81
        translation markers. Release translation markers are described in the
        749e81
        translation marker section
        749e81
        (see Translation Markers).

        3.50.3 Usage

        749e81
        749e81
        749e81
        <samp>`centos-art render --entry='path/to/dir''</samp>
        749e81
        749e81

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

        749e81
        <samp>`trunk/Translations'</samp>, this command orverwrites available
        749e81
        translation files using translation templates.
        749e81

        749e81
        749e81
        <samp>`centos-art render --entry='path/to/dir' --filter='pattern''</samp>
        749e81
        749e81

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

        749e81
        <tt>`trunk/Translations'</tt>, this command renders release-specific
        749e81
        translation files as you specify in the <samp>`--filter='pattern''</samp>
        749e81
        argument. In this case, <samp>`pattern'</samp> not a regular expression but an
        749e81
        number (e.g., <samp>`5'</samp>) or a list of numbers separated by commas
        749e81
        (e.g., <samp>`3,4,5,6'</samp>) that specify the major release of CentOS
        749e81
        distribution you want to render translations for.
