Project Details
By definition, Node.js is a Java Runtime Environment (JRE). But it is more than just that. While common JREs serve as machine backups that allow users to smoothly run JavaScript on their browsers and applications, this open-source project functions as an app that manages Java code by itself. It's practical uses for developers are endless. It grants an extraordinarily versatile platform for designing code, programs, websites and other applications. And that isn't all: Node provides a virtual facility for testing the proper work of Java-driven programs and devices –and their planned updates–, helping to find bugs, solve errors, fix code and vastly improving their performance.
I believe all the amazing uses of Node are to be considered by themselves and I declare myself a fan of the project. But, besides, I support it for its working properties as a medium for bringing to reality countless creations that can be as good as Node itself. Imagination (and Java) is the limit! The open translation of Node to thirty-three (33) languages proves the advantages of open-source projects when it comes to diversification of knowledge and worldwide spreading of useful tools.

Contribution Specifications
Translation Overview
For this contribution, I worked on CHANGELOGS_ARCHIVE.md file.
There, I started the translation of Node's changelog summary.
- A changelog is a registry of all the changes made on determined project for each one of its versions. The files created for such purpose list modifications on internal components, substitutions of protocols, updates, deprecations, addition of supported programs, new functions, corrected errors and fixed bugs. To sum up: every single feature that started being applied in each version must be specified and described in this registry. The objective of that is providing a timeline of the development of the project and, by doing so, helping programmers to check any detail they need to understand the way it came to be what it is and make it better in the future.
Note: As you will see in the examples below, the name of the developer who suggested/applied each change is often referred inside parenthesis at the end of its log.

This translation was made from English to Spanish.
I got plenty experience making translations and proofreading this project as an Utopian contributor. I collaborate here as Language Moderator of the Da-Vinci/Utopian Spanish translation team. Besides this project, I have experience translating and proofreading The Curious Expedition, Ancap-ch, Byteball Wiki, OroCrm and BiglyBT
