All programming languages are translated to machine code which is then executed by the hardware interpreter. However what translates the code of translators such as compiler code and interpreter code? A compiler translates source code but compiler also written in some language so what translates the compiler code/interpeter code?
Thanks

That's not necessarily true. Barring JIT compilation, interpreters usually don't translate the given language to machine code.

If you write your interpreter or compiler in C (for example), it will be translated to machine code by a C compiler - just like any other C program would. Compilers and interpreters aren't special in that regard.
