Project Details

Node.js is an open-source, cross-platform JavaScript run-time environment that executes JavaScript code outside the browser.

Node.js brings event-driven programming to web servers, enabling development of fast web servers in JavaScript. Developers can create highly scalable servers without using threading, by using a simplified model of event-driven programming that uses callbacks to signal the completion of a task. Node.js connects the ease of a scripting language (JavaScript) with the power of Unix network programming.

In easier to understand words: Node-js is a free platform whose goal is to provide its users the possibility to create lightweight and cost efficient web servers, how does Node.js do this?

Node.js handles web server connections in a way so they don´t take up as much space in a server, and thus, the owner of a project would not need to invest as much money in multiple servers# to store so much information in Gigabytes.

Being an Open Source Project, Node.js possesses immense value for providing so much while at the same time being totally free.

Contribution Specifications

453,903 words have been translated so far in the Spanish folder of Node.js, which amounts to a total of 43% done in regards to the completion of the translation of this big project.

Translation Overview

In this contribution I continued translating the second fs.md subfolder of Node.js.

"FS" stands for "file system", which refers to the management process of where data will be stored within a storage disk; such data is usually stored in a hard disk drive.

Some of the other operations managed by file systems are: storage management, file naming, directories/folders, metadata, access rules and privileges.

Some of the translated strings show whether a value is synchronous (sincrónico in Spanish) or asynchronous (asincrónico in Spanish):

Synchronous link(2)

Asynchronous link(2)

Synchronous lchown(2)

A good portion of the translated strings are sentences that give explanations to the user:

ENGLISH (1): Returns the contents of the <0>file</0>..

SPANISH (1): Devuelve los contenidos del <0>file</0>.

ENGLISH (2): Returns the symbolic link's string value.

SPANISH (2): Devuelve el valor de la string del enlace simbólico.

ENGLISH (3): Returns the number of <0>bytesRead</0>.

SPANISH (3): Devuelve el número de <0>bytesRead</0>.

Lastly, two of the strings I translated describe the interaction between callbacks and arguments:

ENGLISH (1): The callback gets two arguments <0>(err, files)</0> where <0>files</0> is an array of
the names of the files in the directory excluding <0>'.'</0> and <0>'..'</0>.

SPANISH (1): El callback obtiene dos argumentos <0>(err, files)</0> donde <0>files</0> es una matriz de los nombres de los archivos en el directorio, excluyendo <0>'.'</0> y <0>'..'</0>.

ENGLISH (2): The listener callback gets two arguments <0>(eventType, filename)</0>.

SPANISH (2): El callback del listener recibe dos argumentos <0>(eventType, filename)</0>.

This time, the new concept I learned about while working on this subfolder was inode:

In programming; the inode, also known as an index node, is a data structure that describes objects in Unix-style file systems and their attributes.

The attributes that the inode describes are times of last change, access and modification.

Inodes also store information about files and directories (folders), such as file ownership, access mode (read, write, execute permissions), and file type.

Languages

The project's source language is English and it is being translated into Spanish.

Also, Node.js is currently being translated into other 32 languages. I´m contributing to making this project accessible to the Spanish speaking community online.

Besides collaborating as a translator for Open Source Projects on Crowdin I also work as a Freelance Translator for a law firm in the US, I've been working for that company for one year, translating sworn statements and legal documents from English to Spanish and viceversa.

Open Source Projects I've worked on and contributed to as a translator:

2 . OroCRM

3 . BiglyBT

4 . The Curious Expedition

5 . Node.js
