What's wrong with "runs"? The compiler ran my program, or the
interpreter ran the program sounds fine to me. Obviously there is an
implied translation step (since some translation probably has to occur
before the program runs). Do you really need to explicitly state that
some sort of translation took place? If so, how about
"transmongrified?":-)
