Programming languages are the way to describe process of computing for different devices. Modern world highly depends on programming languages because almost every software on every device in the world written on one of programming languages. But before executing program it should be represented in a form that will be understood by the device. Such representation program components are called translators.

Tdf4j (translator description framework for java) is a framework for java programing language which can help to write own translator. The process of translating languages includes two main phases: lexical and syntax analysis. This framework provides classes for generating both lexical and syntax analyzers.
