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.

In easier to understand words: Node-js is a free platform whose goal is to provide its users the possibility to create lightweight and cost efficient web servers, how does Node.js do this?

Node.js handles web server connections in a way so they don´t take up as much space in a server, and thus, the owner of a project would not need to invest as much money in multiple servers to store so much information in Gigabytes.

Being an Open Source Project, Node.js possesses immense value for providing so much while at the same time being totally free.

Contribution Specifications

705,413 words have been translated so far in the Spanish translation folder of Node.js, which amounts to a total of 67% done in regards to the completion of the translation of this big project.

Translation Overview

In this contribution, I finished translating the second http2.md folder of Node.js, as well as the second and third https.md folder.

http2.md is a lengthy folder that contains over 10,000 words, and both https.md folders are small folders with no more than 500 words each.

In this contribution, I translated an approximate amount of 1050 words:
550 on http2.md and a total of 500 words on both https.md folders.

"HTTP/2" stands for "Hypertext Transfer Protocol, version 2", which refers to the network protocol used by the World Wide Web, created with the goal of updating the HTTP/1.1 protocol.

HTTP 2.0 doesn't modify the application semantics of HTTP. All of the basic concepts, such as the HTTP methods, status code, URI, and header fields stay unmodified; however, HTTP 2.0 introduces countless updates such as the usage of a single connection, header compression and the ‘server push’ service.

One of the relevant changes introduced by HTTP 2.0 is the removal of redundant information, whose objective is to avoid sending repetitive data during the same connection; thus resulting in decreased consumed resources, achieving less amounts of latency.

According to W3Techs, as of March 2019, 33.9% of the top 10 million websites supported HTTP/2.

"HTTPS" stands for "Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure", which is the application protocol based on the HTTP protocol.

Being an extension of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol, it is regarded as the safe version of HTTP. It was designed for safe Hypertext Data transfer.

The principal motivation for HTTPS is authentication of the accessed website and protection of the privacy and integrity of the exchanged data while in transit. It protects against man-in-the-middle attacks. The bidirectional encryption of communications between a client and server protects against eavesdropping and tampering of the communication.

As of April 2018, 33.2% of Alexa top 1,000,000 websites use HTTPS as default, 57.1% of the Internet's 137,971 most popular websites have a secure implementation of HTTPS.

This is my seventh and last translation contribution on the http2.md folder.

In my last contribution I found and translated sentences that used the words instance, and Proxy Object in them. Because of this, I found it necessary to briefly explain the meaning of each of those words to better understand the content that I worked on, and to also make these concepts easily understandable to the reader.

This time, the concepts that showed the most relevance were Case-insensitive and Offset.

These are some examples of strings that show these words:

1 . CASE-INSENSITIVE

2 . OFFSET

Those are the new words I found on http2.md.

Moving on to the http2.md folders I didn't find any new concepts. Most of the content found in these subfolders is short and straightforward.

Both http2.md folders give information about their https.Agent and https.Server classes and their subvalues.

These are the meanings of the concepts I learned about while working on this contribution:

Offset:

In computer science, an offset within an array or other data structure object is an integer indicating the distance (displacement) between the beginning of the object and a given element or point

In most other CPU's the memory map is one continuous block, so references to variables are absolute/exact memory locations (addresses)

Intel introduced what is called Segmented Addressing modes where there is a Base Address, held in the appropriately named Segment register (CS, DS..etc), everything else is defined as an OFFSET ( ADDRESS = SEGMENT ADDRESS + OFFSET ADDRESS).

Reference for this concept:

Case-insensitive:

This concept is rather simple to explain but it took me a while to pinpoint its meaning in Spanish.

At first I didn't really know what "case" referred to in this context, but after I analyzed the sentences a little bit more I realized that it referred to uppercase and lowercase letters.

Thus, case-insensitive is an adjective which means that something does not discriminate between uppercase or lowercase letters.

Languages

The project's source language is English and it is being translated into Spanish.

Also, Node.js is currently being translated into other 32 languages. I´m contributing to making this project accessible to the Spanish speaking community online.

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 one year and five months, translating sworn statements and legal documents from English to Spanish and viceversa.

Open Source Projects I've worked on and contributed to as a translator:

1 . Verdaccio

2 . OroCRM

3 . BiglyBT

4 . The Curious Expedition

5 . Node.js
