    Computer languages can be classified into three categories: machine language, assembly language, and high-level languages. Machine language uses binary and is directly understood by CPUs, while assembly language is a low-level language used for operating systems and applications. High-level languages were developed to be more portable and user-friendly. Translators such as compilers and interpreters convert programs between languages, with compilers converting entire programs at once and interpreters converting incrementally. Assemblers translate assembly language to machine code.

    Few Basic Concept

    { by SZABIST-ZABTech
    TYPES OF COMPUTER LANGUAGE
     Code or syntax, used to write programs or
    specific applications, defines computer language.
    It is used to communicate with computers.
     Broadly computer language can be classified into
    three categories:-
     assembly language,
     machine language,
     high-level language.
     Machine language is a code or object code
    consisting of binary digits 0 and 1.
     A computer system can easily understand and
    interpret these binary digits.
     Since a central processing unit (CPU) can
    directly understand and interpret it, machine
    language is considered a native language.

    Machine Language
     The assembly language is low-level for
    microprocessors and many other programmable
    devices.
     The assembly language is also considered a second-
    generation language.
     The first-generation language is machine language.
     The assembly language is mostly famous for writing
    operating systems and desktop applications.

    Assembly Language
     Programmers developed high-level languages in response
    to the issues they faced while writing programs.
     The older language poses portability issues, as code
    written on one machine cannot be easily transferred to
    other machines.
     This led to the development of high-level language.
     The high-level language is easy to understand, and the
    code can be written easily as the programs written are
    user-friendly in a high-level language.

    High-Level Language
    Translator
     A translator is a programming language
    processor that converts a computer program
    from one language to another. 
     It takes a program written in source code and
    converts it into machine code.
     It translates a high-level language program into
    a machine language program that the central
    processing unit (CPU) can understand. 
     It also detects errors in the program.

    Purpose of Translator
     A compiler is a translator used to convert high-
    level programming language to low-level
    programming language. 
     It converts the whole program in one session
    and reports errors detected after the
    conversion. 

    Compiler
     Just like a compiler, is a translator used to
    convert high-level programming language to
    low-level programming language. 
     It converts the program one at a time and
    reports errors detected at once while doing the
    conversion.

    Interpreter
     Assembly language is difficult to understand as
    it is a low-level programming language. 
     An assembler translates a low-level language,
    an assembly language to an even lower-level
    language, which is the machine code.
