Windows on ARM also runs x86 apps via translation, but in their marketing materials they call it emulation.
x86 emulation works by compiling blocks of x86 instructions into ARM64 instructions with optimizations to improve performance. A service caches these translated blocks of code to reduce the overhead of instruction translation and allow for optimization when the code runs again.
