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

276,022 words have been translated so far in the Spanish folder of Node.js, which amounts to a total of 26% done in regards to the completion of the translation of this big project (1,000,000+ words!)

Node.js has motivated me as a translator ever since I started working on it.

A project of such importance challenges me to become better as a translator and pushes me to further work on my discipline to research every concept I do not understand to provide quality contributions.

Translation Overview

In this contribution I started translating the second addons.md subfolder of Node.js. I primarily focused on the shorter and less complicated terminology and text for the first part of the work done in this subfolder. In my next contribution, I plan to continue translating this subfolder, focusing on the sentences that have more concepts specific to computer programming with complicated meanings.

For further details of the work done in this contribution and examples of what I translated please continue reading:

Words translated on this contribution, on addons.md

These are the concepts I learned while working on this contribution for Node.js:

1 . Library

Libraries are a collection of files and routines (modules) stored in object format for programs to use.

This is an example of a sentence I translated with this concept in this contribution:

English:

"Node.js includes a number of other statically linked libraries including
OpenSSL."

Spanish:

"Node.js incluye otras bibliotecas vinculadas estáticamente, entre las que se encuentra OpenSSL."

References for this concept:

2 . V8 API

V8 is Google's open source JavaScript engine.

These are some examples of sentences I translated with this concept in this contribution:

English:

It is important to understand that the V8 API can, and has, changed dramatically from one V8 release to the next (and one major Node.js release to the next).

Spanish:

Es importante entender que la API V8 puede, y lo ha hecho, cambiar drásticamente desde un lanzamiento de V8 al siguiente (y de un lanzamiento mayor de Node.js al siguiente).

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 10 months, 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:

1 . Verdaccio

2 . OroCRM

3 . BiglyBT

4 . The Curious Expedition

5 . Node.js
