Apache Cordova or what was called previously Apache Callback or PhoneGap. More specifically, It is a framework which is classified as an open source project. It allows users to create several applications for different platforms (As for Android and IOS....).

Applications developed thanks to this tool are hybrid, that is mean that they are not really native, neither based on HTML language or such an equivalent one.

This is my sixteenth contribution to the project Cordova.

Due to the context and specifications of this contribution, its difficulty is rather felt through the many technical terms used and are especially field-related. This been said, the sentence structures are not that complex which helped get through with the translation since the context is actually within reach and hence the complete meaning. On the whole, rigorous research is of tremendous importance in order to have the closest equivalents of the mentioned terms.

As expressed in the previous section, a few terms needed more research to ensure the maximum fidelity towards the original texts. Some examples are as follows :

Prompt:

A command prompt is used in a text-based or "command-line" interfaces, such as a Unix terminal or a DOS shell. It is a symbol or series of characters at the beginning of a line that indicates the system is ready to receive input. In other words, it prompts the user for a command.

Finder:

The Finder is somewhat like Windows Explorer, but it's an even more basic tool. You' ll find that you use the Finder all the time. The Finder is the default file manager and graphical user interface shell used on all Macintosh.
