| dc.description.abstract | This essay is about transpilation and the future of translation work done by machines. “Transpilation” is a particularly ugly portmanteau word that refers, in web development, to a particularly confusing new concept used in building online JavaScript application. Mashing together “translation” with “compilation,” it refers to the process of translating one human-readable computer programming language into another. While compilation without translation refers to the conversion of human-readable programming languages into the digital codes understandable by computers, the end product of transpilation is another human-readable language. | en |
