That's not how Wikipedia defines it. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source-to-source_compiler https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source-to-source_compiler > A source-to-source translator converts between programming languages that operate at approximately the same level of abstraction, while a traditional compiler translates from a higher level programming language to a lower level programming language. Like I said, translating a high-level language like Python to a low-level one like C wouldn't be considered transpilation. It would be compilation. Just as translating C code to Asm is considered compilation.
