Project Details
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.

Contribution Specifications
- Translation Overview
This is my 61# contribution to Node.js. The Spanish team has been progressing nicely in translating the entire Node.js project to Spanish. At this very moment, the project is 62% completed, which proves the hard work this team has been doing.
Regarding the content I translated for this contribution, it all belongs to the changelogs. A project as complex as Node.js needs to record every change it is applied with the goal of keeping all the information in proper order.
This is the reason why the information in the changelogs is organized using sections for each Node.js’s version. Each section usually has an introductory paragraph where it is informed the number of commits included, and the area to which they are related.
Sometimes there are also notable changes, which are a little bit different than regular commits because these changes are not only more important, but they are also written in a less concise way. All of the information about changes is originally posted by developers in GitHub, and then this information is uploaded to Crowdin to facilitate the translation activities.
The majority of the changes are regular commits with simple instructions, below we can see some examples:
English
skip cpu-intensive tests on slow hosts
Spanish
omitir pruebas que sean intensas para el cpu en hosts lentos
Some tests were overwhelming some of the weaker CPUs, so it was decided that these tests should be skipped in certain cases. Once this change was applied, a developer confirmed this was a good decision by saying:
it's looking good to me (only skipping the test on the Raspberry Pi 1 devices, running fine everywhere else). Source
English
modernize syntax, add strict checks
Spanish
modernizar sintaxis, añadir chequeos estrictos
As technology advances, it becomes necessary to constantly improve the syntax. In the case of Node.js this is almost an ongoing improvement because the software never stops getting updates of all sorts.
English
remove duplicate content from readline doc
Spanish
remover contenido duplicado de documento de readline
Give the popularity of this project, there are a lot of documents that are of great help when using Node.js. Sometimes there are typos or other types of mistakes in these documents, and they need to be fixed. In this case, the mistake was a duplicated sentence that was easily fixed.
