Project details:
“ Cordova or Apache Cordova is a framework used for native mobile applications development, it contains different APIs to facilitate the user's experience, but what's a native mobile app in the first place? Well, it can be regarded as a mobile app developed using only one mobile programming language using the very specific source code, for example, if we developed a native app that works on Android phones, we should write different code to have the same app working on iOS phones if you think about it. That's definitely wasted energy!
One can say, why we should develop native apps in the first place? wouldn't be better to use hybrid applications that work on several systems and cross-platform? That's true if you want to develop quickly the app but in terms of performance, native apps are way better, faster, have more features, have better access to the device native functions and offer bigger freedom in the choice of commands. What Cordova offers you is a chance of getting those benefits of the native apps and at the same time not wasting your energy and time on writing new source codes if you desire to extend your app. To achieve this task, Cordova allows their users to develop mobile apps using web programming languages (HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript). In Apache Cordova's official site, the overview states that this project is destined for people which are: ”
- - A mobile developer and want to extend an application across more than one platform, without having to re-implement it with each platform's language and tool set.
- - A web developer and want to deploy a web app that's packaged for distribution in various app store portals.
- - A mobile developer interested in mixing native application components with a WebView (special browser window) that can access device-level APIs, or if you want to develop a plugin interface between native and WebView components.
Why did I choose this project ?
“ Well for a couple of reasons, first and foremost is because I intend to develop my own mobile app in the future. Second, I wanted a long project to take my time working on it and not having to choose another one for a while and finally because the project is really helpful for many developers.”
Contribution Specifications:
For this contribution, I had two goals in mind:
The first thing is to finish the cordova-plugin-camera/README.md file that I started in the last contribution.
The second thing is to check in the previous translations for errors and misconceptions as the projet is advancing rapidly and making mistakes is easier than ever, but first of all let's take a look at our new glossary after making few adjustments:

Some strings that need special description :
String - Errata is the plural form of erratum which is defined as an error in writing or printing, this is why I chose 'أخطاء مطبعية'.
String - Notice that the word 'تطبيق' is used twice, one for the word 'application' and the other for the word 'implementation', that's why I've added the original meaning between parenthesis.
String - In computer programming, a third-party software component is a reusable software component developed to be either freely distributed or sold by an entity other than the original vendor of the development platform
This could have many meanings and interpretations in the Arabic language, this is why I've decided to keep it simple and stick with 'طرف أخر'.
String - I've added 'هذا الأخير' to avoid repetition.
String - For this string, I came across "code snippets" snippet in programming is a small region of re-usable source code, machine code, or text. So I chose the word أجزاء
String - In this string, I added 'الصورة' at the end to make sure the paragraph is understandable.
String - According to Wikipedia:
In computer security, a "sandbox" is a security mechanism for separating running programs, usually in an effort to prevent system failures or software vulnerabilities from spreading. It is often used to execute untested or untrusted programs or code.
So it's a mode/mechanism used by programmers to check for bugs and test unreleased softwares, as for the adjectif 'sandboxed', it can have many translations but neither one is perfect so my best alternative was 'في وضع الحماية'
Contribution information:
The translation was done from English to Arabic and from 17/02/2019 to 22/02/2019
Total words = 1259
Untranslatable words and repeated strings ≈ 113
Final count ≈ 1146
