A program or a group of programs that is helpful to write translator programs ( i. e., compilers, interpreters, assemblers ).
The program translation to a target program, for ex-ample, to FORTRAN or from FORTRAN, ALGOL, etc. The translating process is completed by the machine under the control of a translator program or compiler.
A high-level language requires a translator program within the computer to convert these instructions from high-level language into machine-code.
