What is language translation in programming language?

Answer 1

This is usually the first stage in compilation. The source code is read and checked for syntax and usability then passed to the compile stage to be converted to object (or machine) code that the computer can understand.

Translator translates program written in one programming language into (equivalent) program written in another language. For example, Java to C# translator would translate Java program into (equivalent) C# program. This is similar to as if you would translate some text in English into Spanish or vice versa.

If target language is lower level language like assembly language, machine language, or pseudocode, translator is called compiler. For example, some C++ compiler could compile (translate) program in C++ into machine code.

Answer 2

Programming Language Translators will translate code from one syntax to another.

For Example using a VB.net to C# translator for the following line:

Dim s As String

Translates to:

String s;

Programming tools, is a vague term, programming tools can mean your development Environment for example Visual Studio or Eclipse etc. Programming tools can also mean various tools contained within your IDE such as Step through debugging, Stack Trace/View, Unit testing tools or format selection etc

Answer 3

I think what you are looking for is an English like translation of the programming logic. If this is what you are looking for, then the language translation of a programming language is called Pseudocode. Pseudocode is the practice of breaking down programming logic into English like meanings. However, pseudocode is usually written' before any programming takes place, because this allows us to get an idea of what we are trying to accomplish. When I took my fundamentals of programming design and logic in college, the whole class was focused on just pseudocode and flowcharts. I hope this answers your question.

Language Translators::

Language translators convert programming source code into language that the computer processor understands. Programming source code has various structures and commands, but computer processors only understand machine language. Different types of translations must occur to turn programming source code into machine language, which is made up of bits of binary data. The three major types of language translators are compilers, assemblers, and interpreters.
