In computing, binary translation is a form of binary recompilation in which sequences of instructions (machine code or bytecode) are translated from a source instruction set architecture (ISA) to a target instruction set with respect to the operating system for which the binary was compiled. In some cases, such as instruction set simulation, the target instruction set may be the same as the source instruction set, providing testing and debugging features such as instruction tracing, conditional breakpoints, and hot spot detection and optimization.
The two main types are static and dynamic binary translation. Binary translation is commonly implemented in software using static or dynamic translation techniques.

For example, the instruction repertoire of Series 200 processors is similar enough to those of several other processing systcms, viz., the IBM 1400 series, to allow automated, one-time translation of programs written for these competitive systems to a form suitable for execution on higher-performance Series 200 systems.
