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.

Contribution Specifications

Node.js is currently being translated into 33 languages. I´m contributing to making this project accessible to the Spanish speaking community online.

Translation Overview

The terminology of the text translated is mostly related to computer science and programming.

In this part of my contribution for Node.js, I continued translating the 2 folders I started working on previous contributions: http2.md and async_hooks.md, as shown in the following images:

I translated 250 words approximately on async_hooks.md and around 800 words on the http2.md folder.

These are the concepts and words I've learned so far while working on Node.js:

Callback, Addon, Compile, Array, POSIX, Hook, Instance, API, Resource, Promise, Embedder, Exception, Stream, String, Method, Class.

Learning about these concepts has allowed me to further understand the terminology of programming and computer science, and it has also helped me greatly in this part of my contribution, as there weren't many words I needed to look up and investigate this time as I already have a good understanding of the project's meaning.

Regardless, these are some of the new concepts I learned on my fifth contribution for Node.js:

1 . Handler:

A handler is basically a message queue. You post a message to it, and it will eventually process it by calling its run method and passing the message to it. Since these run calls will always occur in the order of messages received on the same thread, it allows you to serialize events.

2 . Recursion:

Recursion is a basic programming technique you can use in Java, in which a method calls itself to solve some problem. A method that uses this technique is recursive. Many programming problems can be solved only by recursion, and some problems that can be solved by other techniques are better solved by recursion.

Languages

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

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 8 months, translating sworn statements and legal documents from English to Spanish and viceversa.

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

1 . Verdaccio

2 . OroCRM

3 . BiglyBT

4 . The Curious Expedition.

5 . Node.js
