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 #43 contribution to Node.js, and I continued to work on the folder named as CHANGELOG_V6.md, which is 90% completed.

The great majority of the strings I translated for this contribution were simple instructions for changes that were applied to Node.js V6. In the following picture, I am showing the first string I translated, there were only 2 strings belonging to the notable changes section, and the rest of the translation were strings belonging to the commit section:

The commits section only has strings that contain all of the information related to changes of this particular version, the changes can range from refactoring tests, adding new information to a certain document, fix some defective elements, removing deprecated components, among many other similar instructions.

Since Node.js is a very common software that is used by big companies, it is not a surprise to see it is constantly being updated and improved, technology is something that advances very fast and there are always new innovations that require changes in order to implement them in the best possible way.

This is why folders like CHANGELOG_V6.md are so extensive, because every single change, even the little ones that might not be too important, must always be registered and documented, this is the reason why changelogs exist, to provide a proper order when it comes to having easy access to all of the information regarding changes that were applied to a particular software.

Below I added a few examples of the strings I translated while working on this contribution:

English

favor strictEqual() in addon test

Spanish

favorecer strictEqual() en prueba de complemento

---

English

check that 2nd handle.close() call is a nop

Spanish

chequear que la segunda llamada de handle.close() sea un nop

---

English

add --preserve-symlinks command line flag

Spanish

añadir bandera de línea de comando de --preserve-symlinks

---

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

Big endian: computers are constantly storing new information in the memory in the form of bytes. A big-endian system is when the most significant value from a sequence of bytes is the first one stored in the memory, on the contrary, on a little-endian system (that I already explained on a past contribution) it is the least significant value the one that is stored first.

Redux: this is an open source JavaScript library that makes it easier for the developer to manage the state of their application and how it will behave when a user is interacting with it.

Nop: this is a very simple library that literally doesn’t do anything, it is used mainly to save memory and optimize how the software works.

A NOP is most commonly used for timing purposes, to force memory alignment, to prevent hazards, to occupy a branch delay slot, to render void an existing instruction such as a jump, or as a place-holder to be replaced by active instructions later on in program development (or to replace removed instructions when reorganizing would be problematic or time-consuming).
