Project Details
Node.js is a platform that allows you, the developer, to use JavaScript to develop utilities in your own machine, basically anything that can be done using PHP or Ruby on Rails now can be done using JavaScript in node.js. It is also used to create a web server and web applications.
You can take a look at their Crowdin project here.

Contribution Specifications
Node.js is among the very best of platforms for computing systems, being a project of such a massive importance to the open sourcer community it is being translated into several languages, I am working as a spanish translator and I'm proud to use my services for the greater good.
Translation Overview
Today's contribution is focused completely on the modules.md file, and if you don't know what modules are, here is a definition for you:
Modules are a set of files with a functionality. Node.js is a light weight framework. They include minimum functionalities of Node.js and start when Node.js starts.
Basic terms that must be known in order to understand the translation:
- http includes classes, methods and events to create Node.js http server.
- url includes methods for URL resolution and parsing.
- querystring this module includes methods to deal with query string.
- path it includes methods to deal with file paths.
- fs this module includes classes, methods, and events to work with file I/O.
- util includes utility functions useful for programmers.
- File path: it specifies the location of a file inside the computer.
- Absolute path: the location starts from the root directory and it is independent from the working directory.
- Relative path: the location to the file begins from the working directory.
- Function: It is a section of a program that performs a specific task.(https://www.webopedia.com/TERM/F/function.html)
