Node.js's Github Repository

Project Details

Nodo 36.png

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 fs.md folder, as shown in the following images:

In this contribution, I translated an approximate amount of 1025 clean words on fs.md.

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, Recursion, Handler, Listener, Padding, Flag, Integer, Appending.

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

1 . Polling

Polling is the process where the computer or controlling device waits for an external device to check for its readiness or state, often with low-level hardware.

Taken from:

2 . Timestamp

A timestamp is the current time of an event that is recorded by a computer. Through mechanisms such as the Network Time Protocol (NTP).

Taken from:

3 . Truncation

To truncate is to shorten by cutting off. In computer terms, when information is truncated, it is ended abruptly at a certain spot.

Taken from:

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 9 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
