A '''translator''' or '''programming language processor''' is a computer program that converts the programming instructions written in human convenient form into machine language codes that the computers understand and process. It is a generic term that can refer to a [[compiler]], [[assembler (computing)|assembler]], or [[interpreter (computing)|interpreter]]&mdash;anything that converts code from one computer language into another.<ref name="MCT"/><ref name="Intel_1983_SH"/> These include translations between [[high-level language|high-level]] and human-readable computer languages such as [[C++]] and [[Java (programming language)|Java]], intermediate-level languages such as [[Java bytecode]], [[low-level language]]s such as the [[assembly language]] and [[machine code]], and between similar levels of language on different [[computing platform]]s, as well as from any of these to any other of these.<ref name="MCT"/> TheSoftware termand hardware represent different levels of abstraction in computing. Software is alsotypically usedwritten forin translatorshigh-level betweenprogramming softwarelanguages, implementationswhich are easier for humans to understand and hardware/[[ASIC]]manipulate, while [[microchip]]hardware implementations involve low-level descriptions of physical components and their interconnections.
