Hello, here I am after a while to post the 29th Node.js translation report and again it is about the 9th version of the change log file. I started this project two months ago with a lot of motivation because contributing in open source projects is a way to make those project's scopes bigger. My way to contribute is translating Node.js into Spanish, and I must say that it is not only me, there is an entire team working on it and this team is supported by Utopian+DaVinci alliance.
I will keep working hard in this project because I have learned a lot from it and I want this knowledge to have a bigger scope. I must say that during these two months my expertise has been improved each time that I receive a feedback from language moderators and that's also important to me.

Project Details
Node.js is an open-source, cross-platform JavaScript run-time environment that executes JavaScript code outside of a browser. It lets developers use JavaScript to write Command Line tools and for server-side scripting to produce dynamic web page content before the page is sent to the user's web browser. Consequently, Node.js represents a "JavaScript everywhere" paradigm,[6] unifying web application development around a single programming language, rather than different languages for server side and client side scripts.
It looks difficult to understand at first, but let me explain it with the next example.
Imagine that you have been developing a new android app that uses the APIs from Google Maps and Twitter. When testing the app, you realize that both APIs are written in different languages and you must change one of them to make it work, but that's a lot of work and goes against the reasons to use an API. Node.js is the solution to problems like this because it allows the union between different programming languages without affecting its performance.
I decided to translate this project because I'm an engineering student and innovation is my passion; I love creating solutions to problems like this. Also, I like sharing information and a way to do it is translating the content of a big project like this so people around the world can access to it and share it too.
Contribution Specifications
- Translation Overview
There are a lot of modules in Node.js; in the previous post I talked about async_hooks, but this time I'm going to talk about Console module.
The console module "provides a simple debugging console that is similar to the JavaScript console mechanism provided by web browsers. The module exports two specific components: A Console class with methods such as console.log(), console.error() and console.warn() that can be used to write to any Node.js stream, and A global console instance configured to write to process.stdout and process.stderr. The global console can be used without calling require('console')."
Every program must be debugged because it is a way to solve some issues that can affect their performance and that's the reason why the Console module exists. Of course, it is a debugging console customized for Node.js and it is specified in the previous paragraph.
In addition, there is also a module class explained in the official Node.js web site.
The Console class can be used to create a simple logger with configurable output streams and can be accessed using either require('console').Console or console.Console (or their destructured counterparts)
- Languages
The original language of this change log is English and it was translated into Spanish, which is my native language. I have experience translating in projects like Loopring wallet and Yapbam. These projects make me grow and learn a lot about open source projects.
