cross-language

Spanning multiple languages

Cross-language describes something that operates across or between different programming languages or human languages.

In computing, cross-language tools allow code written in one language to interact with code in another: cross-language interoperability, a cross-language debugger.

In linguistics, it refers to research comparing features across languages: cross-language studies of word order.
