A computer program which examines a computer program written in some source language and carries out the actions required by that program more or less directly, without translating it into some other language. May well be slower than a compiled program, especially if there is a lot of calculation.[ edit] J to R
a language translator that converts higher-level programs into machine language by translating and executing one statement at a time; the translated code is not retained.
A software program that reads source code from a programming language every time it is run, to interpret the instruction it contains. The alternative is to use a compiler, which translates source code into a binary form only once and which is executed thereafter instead.

A program that executes high level source code without translating it into object code first.
The process of changing a message from one language to another, making appropriate grammatical and cultural adjustments to maintain message equivalence, in order to convey the message from one person to another through an intermediary, the interpreter.
(IEEE) A computer program that translates and executes each statement or construct of a computer program before translating and executing the next. The interpreter must be resident in the computer each time a program [source code file] written in an interpreted language is executed. Contrast with assembler, compiler.
A program that reads source code and interprets it line by line. It does not create an executable file.
A program that reads, translates and executes a user's program, such as one written in the BASIC language, one line at a time. A compiler, on the other hand, reads and translates the entire user's program before executing it.

A program which executes source code written in a high level language (C, Pascal, Ada). An interpreter does not produce object code or an executable file. It may generate intermediate code and execute that. Interpreters are desirable because they can offer debugging techniques superior to compilers. They have the source code readily available in memory. The translation time is less because they usually don't do much optimization on the code.

programming: A program like HyperCard or BASIC that takes a program written in a high-level language and translates it "on the fly" to machine code that the processor can carry out. Interpreters are very convenient to work with since you can interrupt the process at any point to make changes or debug. However, since the translation takes substantial time, your program runs much more slowly under an interpreter.
An interpreter executes your program without first creating an executable file. It interprets your program into the language of the CPU, on-the-fly. Compilers and interpreters do a lot of the same work. However, since interpreters can't create executable files, the source code must always be available to users. See also Compiler.
A program that transforms statements into machine code a statement at a time. The the Python executable is an interpreter of the Python language.
A person who speaks english and another language fluently. Fluency includes an understanding of non verbal and cultural patterns to effectively communicate in that language. An interpreter enables clients and staff to communicate with each other. See: Rights & Responsibilities; Interview Requirements
A system program that converts and executes each instruction of a high-level language program into machine code as it runs, before going onto the next instruction.
When a program of BASIC statements is running, the BASIC interpreter converts each line, one at a time, into machine instructions for execution on the CPU. The interpreter performs the conversion from BASIC language statements which make sense to a human into machine instructions which are used by the hardware.
A person who facilitates communication between hearing and deaf or hard of hearing persons through interpretation into a signed language, or transliteration of a language into a visual and/or phonemic code by an oral interpreter, a signed language interpreter or cued speech interpreter.
A program that turns a source file into a computer program by interpreting each line one at a time. An interpreted language runs programs more slowly than a compiled language does, but it is easier to debug.
A computer program that translates a high-level instruction to machine language, line by line, and then executes it before considering the next instruction.
A program that can interpret the code of a program not written in the native machine code of the computer. Due to the fact that it has to perform a translation, the run time of the foreign code can take longer than if the code was compiled into native machine code. Examples of languages that produce generic code that are computer independent are:- Pascal, BASIC etc. See also Program, Compiler, Pascal and BASIC.
The module that decodes and executes Java bytecode.

Program that translates and executes one 3GL program code statement at a time, by reading a code statement, converting it to one or more machine language instructions, then executing the instructions before moving to the next code statement in the program. 15.18
In computer science the term interpreter is sometimes used instead of the term emulator. It can also refer to a program that performs compilation as well as emulation. Interpreters that compile source code usually do so when the code is first encountered during program execution, rather than in a separate phase prior to execution.
