![](https://i.imgur.com/XFVhs9V.png) *Node.js is an Open Source JavaScript runtime built on Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine supported by the Node.js Foundation*

#### - What is Node? Node.js is is an environment in which you can run a program written in JavaScript (known as JS). Essentially, JS was made to run only through web browsers, which means that executing a JS program outside of a browser would normally throw an error. However, NodeJS took Chrome's V8 Runtime Engine for JavaScript and assambled it inside to allow for executing this language outside of a web browser. The V8 Engine basically takes the JS code and converts it into a much faster machine code, which is a simpler low level code that the computer can execute without needing to first interpret it due to its simplicity and linear algorithmich structure. Therefore, Node.js transforms your JS code into assembler-level machine code allowing you to use its capabilities as an scripting language, such as Python. This also allows you to basically take the functionalities available in languages like PHP and Ruby and apply them to JavaScript. ### Contribution Specifications #### - Translation Overwiew

In this part I worked on Stream, which is an interface to work with data streaming on Node due to the existance of a wide variety of streaming objects. They operate exclusively over strings and Buffer objects and are considered to be operated on the "Object Mode". Part of this translation was focused on the diferent types o streams: Writable, Readable, Duplex and Transform. Every one of them accomplish specific functions. As it states, on the first type you can overwrite data, the second one are using to pass data to different sections of your program, Duplex can be both overwritten and read and the Transform type are capable of simultaneously rewriting and reading while modifying data.

Streams are hosted on the internal Buffer, from which you can recover the data, making it possible to limit the storage space of these same Buffers by specifying the maximum number of bytes for common streams and the maximum number of objects for those that are to be worked with on Object Mode. In this section it draw my attention the use of the word *buffering*, since it doesn't have a direct translation on Spanish but we are to use a combination of words that together describe the data storage inside the Buffer. #### - Languages - **Source Language:** English - **Translated Language:** Spanish #### - Word Count Number of words translated on this contribution: 1134 words, including a small number of coding instructions. ### Proof of Authorship The translation was submitted via CrowdIn and you can find all the related information on the following links.
