# French Translation # Cordova # Part8 # 1009 words #
Cordova on Github
Apache Cordova or what was called previously Apache Callback or PhoneGap. More specifically, It is a framework which is classified as an open source project. It allows users to create several applications for different platforms (As for Android and IOS....).
Applications developed thanks to this tool are hybrid, that is mean that they are not really native, neither based on HTML language or such an equivalent one.
This is my eighth contribution to the project Cordova.
The general difficulty of this contribution may be estimated at medium. This been said, some sentences subject to the contribution required further explicit translation in order to stay right within the context and the general meaning. Overall, the focus on technical terms is still present in order to ensure accuracy and fidelity to the original texts, plus the on-the-side research.
This contribution some terms needed no translation, and sometimes that is the plain solution because of the technicality of the terms. Some examples are as follows :
Shell:
In computing, a shell is a user interface for access to an operating system's services. In general, operating system shells use either a command-line interface (CLI) or graphical user interface (GUI), depending on a computer's role and particular operation. It is named a shell because it is the outermost layer around the operating system kernel.
Jailbreak:
iOS jailbreaking is privilege escalation for the purpose of removing software restrictions imposed by Apple on iOS. It typically does this by using a series of kernel patches. Jailbreaking permits root access to iOS, allowing the installation of software that is unavailable through the official Apple App Store.

Hi @yassinebad
• This is your seventh contribution to the Cordova project.
• Happy to see you active all over again.
• Your presentation contains all the necessary details as per usual, I want just to point out the fact that your word count is slightly higher than 1000, which is not a very recommended thing, try to add more words to your final count so you won't encounter any trouble whenever we verify the count of the duplicated strings.
• As for your translation, I'll leave you some notes on a DM on Discord.
• Looking forward to seeing your next contribution.
