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.
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.
The progress of the Node.js project is rapidly increasing day by day, 128,414 words have been translated so far in the Spanish folder of Node.js, which amounts to a total of 12% 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 continued translating the http2.md folder, as shown in the following images:

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.
These are the concepts I learned while working on this contribution for Node.js:
1 . Boolean
A Boolean value is one with two choices: true or false, yes or no, 1 or 0.
2 . Proxy
In computer networks, a proxy server is a server (a computer system or an application) that acts as an intermediary for requests from clients seeking resources from other servers.[1] A client connects to the proxy server, requesting some service, such as a file, connection, web page, or other resource available from a different server and the proxy server evaluates the request as a way to simplify and control its complexity. Proxies were invented to add structure and encapsulation to distributed systems.
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:
