Node.js is an open-source, cross-platform JavaScript run-time environment that executes JavaScript code outside of a browser... Node.js allows the creation of Web servers and networking tools using JavaScript and a collection of "modules" that handle various core functionality... Node.js represents a "JavaScript everywhere" paradigm, unifying web application development around a single programming language, rather than different languages for server side and client side scripts. | Source
In simple words, this project brings value to the open source community because it facilitates the creation of all sort of applications using JavaScript, and provides a lot of help and versatility to developers, so much so that well-known companies like Netflix, Paypal, and Uber (among many others) use Node for their online services.
Since Node.js is very easy to learn and it provides a lot of benefits for developers, there is a huge community of people involved with it, which is one of the reasons why this project is available to be translated into several languages (in crowdin, one of the best translation platforms in the web, this project is available to be translated into 33 different languages, Spanish is the one corresponding to this contribution), the ultimate goal of translating Node.js is to make it easier for developers from any country to start learning about this project in their own native language.
If you want to know more about Node.js feel free to visit its website.
This is my 79# contribution to Node.js. For this contribution continued to translate information from Node.js’s changelog. Inside these folders, we can find all the necessary information people might need that is related to changes that were previously applied to this software. For example, in each string containing an instruction, we will also see information about the area related to the change itself, about the person who proposed the particular change and the corresponding GitHub links where the instruction was originally posted.
This way, any individual who wishes to dig a little bit deeper and learn more about a particular change, can easily do it. In Github, there are usually short discussions for each change that is applied, so in order to clear any potential doubt about an individual change, we can visit the GitHub discussions and see what the developers were saying.
The reason for so many Node.js’s changelogs is because this software is incredibly popular and its open source nature makes it easy for any person with technical knowledge to understand how its internal elements work. This results in a community of developers willing to share their efforts in improving the software.
Below we can see a few examples of the instructions I translated.
English
update root certificates
Spanish
actualizar certificados root
This type of certificate is very important to handle important information in a very secure way. Updating them ensures the software is working with up-to-date information and not outdated or deprecated certificates that could harm the performance of the software.
English
remove unnecessary template class
Spanish
remover la clase de plantilla innecesaria
It is important to remove internal elements that aren’t useful for users or developers because this can increase the efficiency of the software. This time, a developer discovered a template class that wasn’t used “in the template specialization following it”, so the decision was to remove it.
English
add support for abi stable module API
Spanish
añadir soporte para la API del módulo estable de abi
Adding support for APIs is important to make sure Node.js works in an optimal way. This feature was added as a kind of experiment to see how things will go, which is a very wise thing to do because innovation should never be rejected.
