    The purpose of an intermediate language is to split language translation into two steps: source language to intermediate language and intermediate language to target language. This article serves to:
    1)  Characterize the semantic issues of concern in developing or evaluating an intermediate language,
    2)  Motivate their usage and the criteria by which they are selected,
    3)   Evaluate four existing intermediate language approaches (FORTRAN, OCODE, ZCODE, and JANUS), and                                                                         *
    4)  Provide a prognosis of the potential for future intermediate languages.
    This is a survey-type article. It generally reads easily and adequately summarizes the current status of intermediate languages.
