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.

Working on the same project for the eighteenthtime now is quite helpful since you get the hang of many sentence structures used in some massive project’s packages. Many technical terms contained in the strings have a broad spectrum of usage, in many other contexts. So the actual task of finding the right french equivalent was kind of a challenge throughout the contribution. Overall, by respecting the context and the help of thorough research, the task is softened difficulty wise.

As expressed in the previous section, a few terms needed more research to ensure the maximum fidelity towards the original texts. Some examples are as follows :

Gradle:

Gradle is an open-source build automation system that builds upon the concepts of Apache Ant and Apache Maven. Gradle was designed for multi-project builds, which can grow to be quite large. It supports incremental builds by intelligently determining which parts of the build tree are up to date; any task dependent only on those parts does not need to be re-executed.

Cloud:

Cloud computing is the on-demand availability of computer system resources, especially data storage and computing power, without direct active management by the user. The term is generally used to describe data centers available to many users over the Internet.
