Cordova on Github
Apache Cordova or what was called previously Apache Callback or PhoneGap. More specifically, It is a framework which is classified as an open source project. It allows users to create several applications for different platforms (As for Android and IOS....).
Applications developed thanks to this tool are hybrid, that is mean that they are not really native, neither based on HTML language or such an equivalent one.
In chronological order, this is my twenty-four contribution to the project Cordova.The package i dealt with contains lines of code to be translated. The beta version actually offers a French translation, but still the commands are rather universal and not that related to the language. They are meant to be this way so that the users wouldn’t have to deal with each language version. The difficulty actually resides in the use of some technical terms that imposed a further research.
My research led me to choose what I saw would fit in the correct context imposed by the project’s specifications. Some examples are as follows :
Callback:
In JavaScript, functions are objects. Because of this, functions can take functions as arguments and can be returned by other functions. Functions that do this are called higher-order functions. Any function that is passed as an argument is called a callback function.
MediaType:
A media type (formerly known as MIME type) is a two-part identifier for file formats and format contents transmitted on the Internet. The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) is the official authority for the standardization and publication of these classifications.
