Project Details

Node.js is an open-source, cross-platform JavaScript run-time environment that executes JavaScript code outside of a browser... Node.js allows the creation of Web servers and networking tools using JavaScript and a collection of "modules" that handle various core functionality... Node.js represents a "JavaScript everywhere" paradigm, unifying web application development around a single programming language, rather than different languages for server side and client side scripts. | Source

In simple words, this project brings value to the open source community because it facilitates the creation of all sort of applications using JavaScript, and provides a lot of help and versatility to developers, so much so that well-known companies like Netflix, Paypal, and Uber (among many others) use Node for their online services.

Since Node.js is very easy to learn and it provides a lot of benefits for developers, there is a huge community of people involved with it, which is one of the reasons why this project is available to be translated into several languages (in crowdin, one of the best translation platforms in the web, this project is available to be translated into 33 different languages, Spanish being the one corresponding to this contribution), the ultimate goal in translating Node.js is to make it easier for developers from any country to start learning about this project in their own native language.

Contribution Specifications

• Translation Overview

This is my #23 contribution to Node.js, the folder I am working on is the one named CHANGELOG_V6.md and right now it is 35% completed. This folder provides information about every single change in Node.js V6, the strings are written in a very concise way and sometimes there are abbreviations and technical terms, this is why a certain level of understanding about the project and about the context is required in order to do a correct translation. However, a few of those technical terms weren’t translated with the goal of preserving the original meaning of the text.

At the end of some strings, there was the name of the person who proposed that particular change.

Below there are a few examples of the original text and the translated text:

English

reduce buffer size in buffer-creation test

Spanish

reducir tamaño de buffer en prueba de buffer-creation

---

English

avoid additional validation for Buffers

Spanish

evitar validación adicional para Buffers

---

English

added test for indexed properties

Spanish

se añadió prueba para propiedades indexadas

---

When working on this contribution I was able to learn the following concepts:

Base64: is an encoding and decoding technique used to convert binary data to an American Standard for Information Interchange (ASCII) text format, and vice versa. It is used to transfer data over a medium that only supports ASCII formats, such as email messages on Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension (MIME) and Extensible Markup Language (XML) data. | Source

In the previous contributions, I included the definition of these terms: deprecation, I/O - input/output, callback, asynchrony, POSIX, parsing, path, wildcard, wrapper function, stack trace, floating point value, error-first callbacks, transpilation tool, root certificate, little-endian, DNS rebinding, same-origin-policy, keep-alive behavior, stringification, arrow function, salt (cryptography), semver, lint, fixtures modules, newline, backporting, shell command, ES6 Classes , code refactoring, segfault, tarball, benchmark, type-check, deflate, char, aix, spawn, rehash, noop, rebasing, continuous integration, linkify, segfaults, IPC, libuv, toolchain, punycode, and symlink.
