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 77# contribution to Node.js. The information I translated for this contribution consisted mostly in short instructions for changes that were applied to Node.js. Developers from all over the world are constantly reviewing Node.js’s code and figuring out ways to improve it, so every time they decided to proposed a change, it is posted on the GitHub platform and later on it is applied to the software.
With the goal of making this information available to all the people in every language, these instructions, as well as all the other information related to this software, is uploaded to the Crowdin platform so translators can freely collaborate with their translations and make their contributions.
This is a very valuable activity because it allows people that don’t understand English to have free access to this information in their local language.
When it comes to the instructions I translated, as I already mentioned, these are usually very short and straight to the point. They are written by developers and for developers so it is normal to see technical terms and abbreviated words being used.
Below we can see a few examples of the instructions I translated.
English
update openssl config files
Spanish
actualizar los archivos de configuración de openssl
As the software evolves and its internal elements are updated, sometimes it is necessary to also update configuration files to make sure they keep functioning on a proper way, especially if big changes have been previously applied.
English
update new CTC members
Spanish
actualizar los nuevos miembros del CTC
It is always very useful to have the list of collaborators and members updated with the current members. Sometimes new people can be added but it takes a while to actually update the members' list. This is why a developer decided to inform about the need to update the list and add the new CTC members.
English
fix error in custom ESLint rule
Spanish
corregir error en la regla de ESLint personalizada
On this occasion, the error was a typo. It is completely understandable for people to commit typos when writing extensive texts. Luckily, a developer discovered this mistake and proposed the solution.
