It processes every statement written in a particular programming language and turns them to machine language.
Can a compiler translate a program?
A compiler can translate only those source programs which have been written in the language for which the computer is meant. Each high level programming language requires a separate compiler for the conversion. For Example, a FORTRAN compiler is capable of translating into a FORTRAN program.
