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 is the one corresponding to this contribution), the ultimate goal of 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 78# contribution to Node.js. I have been contributing for several months with Spanish translations for the Node.js project. This collaboration is possible thanks to the Crowdin platform that is designed to facilitate translations activities and make everything easier for both translators and project owners.

As mentioned before, Node.js is an open source project which means all the information related to its development is shared in its own GitHub repository. This includes the information that is added to the Crowdin platform to be translated.

Given the fact the majority of the content I have translated for this contribution comes from the Node.js’s changelog, these strings always include the corresponding GitHub links where these instructions were first posted by the development community, and since this software is extremely popular, there are always new updates and changes that must be properly recorded.

Below we can see a few examples of the instructions I translated.

English

include more fs.stat*() optimizations

Spanish

incluir más optimizaciones de fs.stat*()

It is important to always keep the software with high performance. This requires making changes and updating all sorts of internal elements. This time, a developer realized ‘fs.stat*()’ required some optimizations and informed the community about it.

English

document buffer.buffer property

Spanish

documentar la propiedad de buffer.buffer

In order to provide new developers with all the information they need to work with Node.js, it is important to keep all the documentation updated and very accurate. This change was proposed because a developer realized there was a particular property that wasn’t properly documented, and he indicated that this issue should be fixed.

English

fix V8 build on FreeBSD

Spanish

arreglar compilación de V8 en FreeBSD

Sometimes things can go wrong and mistakes can always happen. A developer discovered that was a V8 build with some technical issues, so he decided to look into it to see what was happening, and once he figured out the solution he shared it with the entire development community.
