# French Translation # Cordova # Part9 # 1012 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.
My ninth contribution to the project Cordova, and compared to the last one, its difficulty is more apparent. More and more terms require further research and very often the only reliable equivalent is the term itself (More details in the next section). Some are even misleading due to their wide range of usage, and in this type of situations, only the context comes in handy in order to take the right decision.
This contribution ’s rather an acronym and a pure coding term that required clarification since the French equivalents are simply keeping the same term because it’s field-related. Those examples are as follows :
API:
In computer programming, an application programming interface (API) is a set of
subroutine definitions, communication protocols, and tools for building software. In general terms, it is a set of clearly defined methods of communication among various components. A good API makes it easier to develop a computer program by providing all the building blocks, which are then put together by the programmer.
Widget:
An application, or a component of an interface, that enables a user to perform a function or access a service.
