Add translated terms to TRANSLATION.md

[carburo]

As more contributions are coming we need different translations to be consistent. I added possible translations to some common terms.

I think string should not be changed, it is a widely used term across the industry.

[alejandronanez]

When you start learning about programming (and I think this applies to any language) you learn primitives, and with primitives comes string, boolean, number...etc.

That said, if someone reads string they would know that we're talking about cadena de texto.

[sergiodxa]

👍 to keep string without translate it

[LuisRevillaM]

I think cadena de caracteres works too.

How can I translate array and keys ?

Array could be translated as arreglo en Spanish, but while there is people who use it (usually un universities) I think array is a commonly used term in Spanish.

Key are llaves, but again is something used as is in Spanish too.

I think keys as in keys of an object, could be propiedades de un objeto. arreglos have índices that are also propiedades when seen as objetos.

[alejandronanez]

This sounds so weird in Spanish 😅

[alejandronanez]

Because of the same reasons as #23 (comment), I think we should leave template literals as is, but really I don't have strong opinions about it though.

[gariasf]

I've seen "string" defined as cadena de texto or cadena de caracteres, but I've never seen it used like that.
Same thing goes for "template literals".

For me those are terms that encapsulate a concept and although they can be translated, the meaning just isn't the same.

[sergiodxa]

I also think we should leave template literals as is, also string.

[LuisRevillaM]

I would incline towards cadena de caracteres for string.

For template literals, I think plantillas de texto does a great job, though it still requires some consensus behind it to fully convey the meaning.

I would let arrow function without translation, it's used that way in a lot of Spanish tutorials and articles.

[sergiodxa]

I know the correct term is biblioteca but the majority of the community use librería as a translation of library and is more commonly used. What do you think?

[alejandronanez]

Agree with this one too, I can say that Librería is way more common than Biblioteca.

[carburo]

I think both librería and biblioteca are of common use. The difference is that while librería is a bad semantic copy, biblioteca is an straightforward translation of the term.

[alejandronanez]

Hey @carburo,

I think we should stick to some universal words in the development world, for example, I think that
arrow function, string and template literals should stay in English. As @sergiodxa mentioned, you can find those terms in a lot of tutorials in Spanish, it's pretty common, so I see no point in changing those. Those changes could confuse people down the road.

This is true. However a lot of academic literature out there treats strings as cadenas de caracteres, which is a very useful way of thinking about strings in spanish, IMO.

Thinking about template literals in terms of plantillas de texto is also very helpful, IMO for the spanish-thinking brain.

Maybe we could address the relationship between the translation and the more common english word, perhaps in the glossary.

[carburo]

I think we probably get attached to some terms because that's what we learned. For example in the university, we always used Spanish terms (arreglos, cadenas (de caracteres), llave, etc.) I removed the most controversial terms from the PR in order to move forward with the style guide as I think it is really important to have a base for making reviews for future contributions. We could later discuss those aspects where we don't have yet a consensus.
