Project Details
Node.js is an open-source, cross-platform JavaScript run-time environment that executes JavaScript code outside of a browser... Node.js allows the creation of Web servers and networking tools using JavaScript and a collection of "modules" that handle various core functionality... Node.js represents a "JavaScript everywhere" paradigm, unifying web application development around a single programming language, rather than different languages for server side and client side scripts. | Source
In simple words, this project brings value to the open source community because it facilitates the creation of all sort of applications using JavaScript, and provides a lot of help and versatility to developers, so much so that well-known companies like Netflix, Paypal, and Uber (among many others) use Node for their online services.
Since Node.js is very easy to learn and it provides a lot of benefits for developers, there is a huge community of people involved with it, which is one of the reasons why this project is available to be translated into several languages (in crowdin, one of the best translation platforms in the web, this project is available to be translated into 33 different languages, Spanish is the one corresponding to this contribution), the ultimate goal of translating Node.js is to make it easier for developers from any country to start learning about this project in their own native language.

Contribution Specifications
- Translation Overview
This is my 73# contribution to Node.js. The majority of the content that I translated for this contribution belonged to Node.js’s changelog, which means the strings inside that folder are instructions about changes that were applied to this software with the goal of improving its performance.
Given the fact Node.js is an open source software, it naturally has a global community of developers constantly working with the code and studying it in order to discover bugs or any type of issue that might have a negative impact in the performance.
The instruction I translated were written by developers and for developers, so it is absolutely normal to sometimes see a technical term being used or an abbreviation. In these cases, sometimes it is necessary to research the term in order to properly understand its meaning, other times, by simply visiting the commit from GitHub we can see the context under which the instruction was written and understand the meaning of the abbreviated words.
These strings always follow the same structure, they have the link to the original commit from GitHub, then there is the area related to the instruction (build, test, among others), then there is the instruction itself, followed by the name or username of the person who wrote the instruction, and finally, the link to the merged pull request from GitHub.
Below we can see a few examples of the instructions I translated.
English
improve contributors guide
Spanish
mejorar la guía de los contribuidores
Given the fact Node.js is an extremely popular software, there are always a lot of people willing to contribute with its development and improvement, but in order to keep everything in order, there are certain guidelines and procedures that must be followed. On this occasion, a developer decided the contributors' guide was in need of an improvement, so he decided to post this instruction. Eventually, the guide was indeed improved and everything ended up all right.
English
fix ERR_MODULE_RESOLUTION_LEGACY message
Spanish
corregir el mensaje de ERR_MODULE_RESOLUTION_LEGACY
As the software changes and evolves, the same should be done to any text or message that is used within the software. However, there was a message that wasn’t showing the proper information, which is why a change was proposed to fix this message.
English
make mkdtemp example work on Windows
Spanish
hacer que el ejemplo de mkdtemp funcione en Windows
Windows is the most popular operative system in the planet, it is important that anything that is done with Node.js works perfectly on Windows, otherwise, there will be a lot of users having a potentially bad experience when using this software. This is why a developer proposed that the mkdtemp should work on Windows.
