Proposal for the comprehensive localization of Metasploit Framework into Spanish

[hanskord89-crypto]

Dear Metasploit Framework Development Team:

My name is Hansel Arcadio, and I am contacting you to present a proposal aimed at improving Spanish language support in the Metasploit Framework and contributing to the access of the Spanish-speaking community to the open-source cybersecurity ecosystem.

The proposal involves exploring the possibility of incorporating a comprehensive, native Spanish localization within the Metasploit Framework itself, developed and maintained by the project with contributions from the Spanish-speaking community.

I am not referring to creating an external translator that would subsequently modify Metasploit's output. The idea is for the Framework itself to progressively provide Spanish linguistic resources for its interfaces, messages, help, documentation, and other components that can be internationalized.

I also consider it important to develop a coherent technical terminology in Spanish for concepts frequently used in Metasploit and offensive security, such as:

Module → Módulo
Exploit → Exploit / explotacion
Payload → Carga util
Auxiliary → Auxiliar
Scanner → Escáner
Target → Objetivo
Session → Sesión
Listener → Servicio de escucha
Vulnerability → Vulnerabilidad
Command → Comando
Option → Opción
Description → Descripción

The proposal also includes a careful study of how to handle technical elements such as IP addresses, ports, protocols, domains, versions, CVE identifiers, module names, proper names, parameters, and commands, so that the Spanish localization does not affect the accuracy or functionality of the framework.

I believe Metasploit could be a particularly important project for this initiative due to its global use in penetration testing, vulnerability research, and cybersecurity training.

I would like to know if the Metasploit team considers this proposal worthwhile and what the appropriate procedure would be for submitting a formal localization proposal.

I am willing to volunteer my time to contribute to terminology collection, linguistic review, testing, documentation, and feedback from the perspective of a Spanish-speaking user, always adhering to Metasploit's established rules and procedures.

If you believe this proposal should first be discussed through GitHub Discussions, an Issue, or another development channel, I would greatly appreciate it if you could inform me of the corresponding procedure.

Thank you very much for your time and for the work that Rapid7 and the open-source community do to maintain and develop the Metasploit Framework.

Sincerely,

Hansel Arcadio
Spanish-speaking Cybersecurity Community
