#### 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](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Node.js)

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.js for their online platforms.

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 being the one corresponding to this contribution), the ultimate goal in 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 #22 contribution to Node.js, I am working in the folder named CHANGELOG_V6.md that has all the information about the changes in Node.js V6. Right now, this folder is 33% completed. Most of the strings consist in short phrases with very concise information about a particular change, on some occasions, abbreviations are used in order to make the information as brief as possible and to translate them the translator needs to have a good understanding of the context, besides, it is very common to find technical terms that sometimes are left untranslated, this is done with the goal of preserving the original meaning of the text. Each of the strings with brief information about the changes usually ends with the name of the person who proposed the particular change.  

Below there are a few examples of the original text and the translated text:

English

> replace custom ESLint timers rule 

Spanish

> reemplazar regla de temporizadores de ESLint personalizados 

***

English

> use dynamic port in 3 test-cluster-worker tests

Spanish

> usar puerto dinámico en 3 pruebas de test-cluster-worker

***

English 

> remove uses of common.PORT in test-tls-client tests

Spanish

> remover usos de common.PORT en pruebas de test-tls-client

***

When working on this contribution I was able to learn the following concepts:

> Punycode: is a representation of Unicode with the limited ASCII character subset used for Internet host names. Using Punycode, host names containing Unicode characters are transcoded to a subset of ASCII consisting of letters, digits, and hyphen, which is called the Letter-Digit-Hyphen (LDH) subset… The Punycode syntax is a method of encoding strings containing Unicode characters, such as internationalized domain names (IDNA), into the LDH subset of ASCII favored by DNS. It is specified in IETF Request for Comments 3492. | [Source](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punycode)


> Symlink: is a term for any file that contains a reference to another file or directory in the form of an absolute or relative path and that affects pathname resolution. | [Source](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolic_link)


In the previous contributions, I included the definition of these terms: deprecation, I/O - input/output, callback, asynchrony, POSIX, parsing, path, wildcard, wrapper function, stack trace, floating point value, error-first callbacks, transpilation tool, root certificate, little-endian,  DNS rebinding,  same-origin-policy, keep-alive behavior, stringification, arrow function, salt (cryptography), semver, lint, fixtures modules, newline, backporting, shell command, ES6 Classes , code refactoring, segfault, tarball, benchmark, type-check, deflate, char, aix, spawn, rehash, noop, rebasing, continuous integration, linkify, segfaults, IPC, libuv and toolchain.
