Alvaro!  Yes, you're right.  Compilers translate your source code into a binary which is a set of instructions for a computer to follow.  It takes a High level language (like c++) and converts it to a lower level language (like Assembly language).  Transcompiler refers to the fact that you are translating from a High level language to another High level language.  Something that translates between human languages would do precisely this.
