"Compilation" meaning the output produced by the computerized programming language translator known as a "compiler". Which should have been obvious from the context.

Sigh. . . a compiler "transforms" from one language representation
to another:

A compiler is a computer program (or set of programs) that
transforms source code written in a computer language (the source
language) into another computer language (the target language, often
having a binary form known as object code).
