Project details:

 “ Cordova or Apache Cordova is a framework used for native mobile applications development, it contains different APIs to facilitate the user's experience, but what's a native mobile app in the first place ?Well, it can regarded as a mobile app developed using only one mobile programming language using a very specific source code, for example if we developed a native app that works on Android phones, we should write a different code to have the same app working on iOS phones, if you think about it. That's definitely wasted energy !

 One can say, why we should develop native apps on the first place ? wouldn't be better to use a hybrid applications that work on several systems and cross-platforms ? That's true if you want to develop quickly the app but in terms of performance, native apps are way better, faster, have more features, have better access to the device native functions and offer bigger freedom in the choice of commands. What Cordova offers you is a chance of getting those benefits of the native apps and at the same time not wasting your energy and time on writing new source codes if you desire to extend your app. To achieve this task, Cordova allows their users to develop mobile apps using web programming languages (HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript). In Apache Cordova's official site, the overview states that this project is destined for people which are: ” 

• - A mobile developer and want to extend an application across more than one platform, without having to re-implement it with each platform's language and tool set.
• - A web developer and want to deploy a web app that's packaged for distribution in various app store portals.
• - A mobile developer interested in mixing native application components with a WebView (special browser window) that can access device-level APIs, or if you want to develop a plugin interface between native and WebView components.

Why did I choose this project ?

“ Well for couple of reasons, first and foremost is because I intend to develop my own mobile app in the future, second I wanted a long project to take my time working on it and not having to choose another one for a while and finally because the project is really helpful for many developers.”

The translation was done from english to arabic language

For this part I finished the previous README.md file and I started translating cordova-cli/doc/readme.md. For a starter, I decided to keep using the word CLI for the rest of the translation although it's just an abbreviation of Cordova Command-line-interface, because many folders contain CLI documents so it will be much more easier to go along with the rest of the project. Following the moderator's advice I've decided to create a table that contains some chosen words and their translations in arabic, I included words from the first contribution in order to have a more complete table and have a more consistent translation. In the future, I will add any new words and so on...
