### Node.js's Github Repository
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.
In easier to understand words: Node-js is a free platform whose goal is to provide its users the possibility to create lightweight and cost efficient web servers, how does Node.js do this?
Node.js handles web server connections in a way so they don´t take up as much space in a server, and thus, the owner of a project would not need to invest as much money in multiple servers to store so much information in Gigabytes.
Contribution Specifications
235,415 words have been translated so far in the Spanish folder of Node.js, which amounts to a total of 22% done in regards to the completion of the translation of this big project (1,000,000+ words!)
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 started translating the CHANGELOG_V4.md folder, as shown in the following image:
Words translated on this contribution, on CHANGELOG_V4.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, Polling, Timestamp, Truncation, Kernel, Symbolic Link, Unix Epoch Time, Debugging, Stack, Header, Client, HTTP, Peer, Frame, Socket, Routing, Tuple, Boolean, Proxy, Packet, Argument, Protocol, Port, Computing, Parsing, I/O, Cache.
These are the concepts I learned while working on this contribution for Node.js:
1 . Commit
When a change occurs in a database, a commit updates the record of these changes, saving them in the database, an example of this could be a transaction.
The following is an example of a string that had this word in the folder I translated for this contribution:
English:
"Roughly 78% of the commits are documentation and test improvements"
Spanish
"Aproximadamente el 78% de los commits son documentación y mejoras de prueba"
2 . Domain
A domain can be either a Web address that indicates the company or organization that manages said Web page, or, the space on a network that contains all of the shared resources managed by the server.
The following is an example of a string that had this word in the folder I translated for this contribution:
English:
"[<0>610727dea7</0>] - <1>test</1>: clarify role of domains in test (Rich Trott) <2>#4474</2>"
Spanish
"[<0>610727dea7</0>] - <1>prueba</1>: clarifica el rol de los dominios en prueba (Rich Trott) <2>#4474</2>"
Languages
The project's source language is English and it is being translated into Spanish.
Also, Node.js is currently being translated into other 32 languages. I´m contributing to making this project accessible to the Spanish speaking community online.
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 10 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:
