Node.js Translation to Spanish - 1051 words (Part 27)

This is my 27th Node.js translation report and I'm very excited because this project is advancing very fast and well. A few weeks ago, there were only five translators in this team, but now we are almost fifteen contributors and moderators that work together in the Spanish team. The teamwork we have been applying is excellent and I hope it remains like that.

The team started with this project only translating the 9th version, nonetheless, we almost finished that version and some of the translators have started next version files. I hope our contributions keep going well.

I must say that each report I've made has been a learning experience. That's why I try to make a report different from the one before.

Imagine that you have been developing a new android app that uses the APIs from Google Maps and Twitter. When testing the app, you realize that both APIs are written in different languages and you must change one of them to make it work, but that's a lot of work and goes against the reasons to use an API. Node.js is the solution to problems like this because it allows the union between different programming languages without affecting its performance.

I decided to translate this project because I'm an engineering student and innovation is my passion; I love creating solutions to problems like this. Also, I like sharing information and a way to do it is translating the content of a big project like this so people around the world can access to it and share it too.

This change log file has to many changes among the versions and that's a good sign because it means that Node.js has been improved very carefully. These improvements cover minor changes like extra words or typos, and bigger changes like refactor a function or remove an entire part of the code. Of course, this changes have been studied by the developers and collaborators to make a great job with the project.

The next image shows some of these changes mentioned before.

The original language of this change log is English and it was translated into Spanish, which is my native language. I have experience translating in projects like Loopring wallet and Yapbam. These projects make me grow and learn a lot about open source projects.

Some examples of my translation:

During the translation there is a word that appears a lot of times and its concept is not explicit in the text, that word is "Stream". Stream comes from the pronoun "streaming" that is "a method of transmitting or receiving data (especially video and audio material) over a computer network as a steady, continuous flow, allowing playback to proceed while subsequent data is being received.". In Node.js case is a method used to make processes faster. Nonetheless, during this method some data could be lost and this could be a huge problem because in some cases all the data is needed.

Of course, in Node.js streaming is used when there is no need to have all data. That's why it is now an actual trouble.

You can visit my profile (navx) on Crowdin's website to find proof of authorship. Also, you can visit the Activity tab in the Node.js project and filter my contributions between November 2nd and November 4th, which were the dates of the translation and the corrections respectively.
