Project Details
Node.js, by definition, is an open-source, cross-platform JavaScript run-time environment that executes JavaScript code outside the browser. This means that now it is possible to execute a program written in JS outside a web browser such as Google Chrome, Safari, etc. This creates an extension to what the language can do, besides just creating interactive websites. With the help of the V8 JavaScript runtime engine, it can now take the code and convert it into a faster machine code, e. g., Node.js eliminates the waiting and continues to take care of the next task.
From my personal perspective, Node.js represents an advantage for coders to write code, since it still has all the capabilities and functionalities JavaScript offers, but now in a more extended way. Also, thanks to all the time I have been contributing with this project, I have realized the huge amount of time and effort that the Node.js team has taken in order to make it as good as it is and also to improve it with every single upgrade.
You can take a look at their Crowdin project here.
Contribution Specifications
- Translation Overview
This is the 52nd translation I have made for the Node.js project, and on this contribution I continued translating the UTIL.MD folder and I started with a new one called RELEASES.MD. Here's a brief description of the last one:
-- RELEASES.MD: This folder describes the release process to follow in relation to its technical aspects. It defines, step by step, all the important details one has to know to release an, for example, update. It goes from who are the individuals that have the power to do so, to the syntax to use once a release is done.
Since this folder is basically a tutorial for individuals in order to learn how to correctly launch a release, there are no very "weird" or technical words being used. However, I took the time to find a couple that are pretty interesting.
First one, ICU (You see me?). ICU is an acronym that stands for International Components for Unicode. It is an open-source project that uses C/C++ and Java libraries for Unicode support, software internationalization and software globalization. This project is portable to different operating systems and environments.
ICU provides a huge amount of services, in which there are:
- Unicode text handling, full character properties and character set conversions
- Unicode regular expressions
- Full Unicode sets
- Character, word, and line boundaries
- Language-sensitive collation and searching
- Normalization, upper and lowercase conversion, and script transliterations
- Comprehensive locale data and resource bundle architecture via the Common Locale Data Repository (CLDR)
The other term I found was WHATWG (exactly, WHAT?). Another acronym, this one stands for Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group (Jesus, I got tired writing that). It is a community of people that are interested on making the internet ten times better by evolving HTML and related technologies. It was founded by people from Apple, Mozilla and Opera in 2004. Later on, Google joined in.
So basically it is kind of a blog in which participants can express their opinions and ideas that can improve the HTML code. In there, a forum starts and if the idea seems to work, then it is considered by the Committee, who are the ones in charge to make or not the change in the code.
If you are interested on forming part of this community, you can follow the blog here
