Node.js Translation to Spanish - (1206 words) (Part-74)

Repository

Project Details

Node.js is an open-source, cross-platform JavaScript run-time environment that executes JavaScript code outside of a browser.

Node.js came into existence when the original developers of JavaScript extended it from something you could only run in the browser to something you could run on your machine as a standalone application.

In simple words, it's an open source execution environment for developing web applications, which is event-based, it uses the V8 engine to provide an execution environment that compiles and executes JavaScript at a higher speed. It is possible to run Node.js without any restriction on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X.

It should be noted that it is NOT a server language, this means that it executes code, so it could be understood as an interpreter.

Contribution Specifications

Node.js is currently being translated into 33 languages. I'm contributing to translate it into the Spanish language.

So far, we have managed to translate 73% of the project!

Translation Overview

On this occasion I translated the Zlib module.

It provides compression functionality implemented using Gzip and Deflate/Inflate. It can be accessed using const zlib = require('zlib');

To make it easier to understand, its functionality is based on providing a way to zip and unzip files, just like any program that we normally use to compress the size of a file. This is possible through a series of algorithms that allow the data contained in a file to occupy less size without loss of information.

As an example of the work done, I will use part of the section Compressing HTTP requests and responses belonging to this module:

English:

Compressing HTTP requests and responses

The zlib module can be used to implement support for the gzip and deflate content-encoding mechanisms defined by HTTP.

The HTTP [Accept-Encoding][] header is used within an http request to identify the compression encodings accepted by the client. The [Content-Encoding][] header is used to identify the compression encodings actually applied to a message.

Spanish:

Comprimir peticiones y respuestas HTTP

El módulo zlib puede ser usado para implementar soporte para los mecanismos de codificación de contenido gzip y deflate definidos por HTTP.

La cabecera HTTP [Accept-Encoding][] se usa dentro de una solicitud http para identificar las codificaciones de compresión aceptadas por el cliente. La cabecera [Content-Encoding][] se utiliza para identificar las codificaciones de compresión realmente aplicadas a un mensaje.
