An interpreter, or a translator, is a person who translates different languages. For an example, if a Chinese person and an American person can't understand each other, an intepreter can translate for both of them.

An interpreter is a machine-code program that converts high-level source code into low-level machine code one statement at a time. Once a statement has been converted, it is immediately executed before moving on to the next statement.

How does an interpreter translate high-level code to machine code?

A computer does not execute a program in a high level language. A computer executes a program in machine language. The high level language is converted into machine language by a compiler. Alternatively, an interpreter executes on the computer in machine language and the interpreter executes the high level language.
