I have a programming question that is specifically about emulators but the applications of which don't end there. I was looking though the source code for ppsspp and I was wondering how exactly you could do something like program the core of an application/game/emulator and then get the code to execute with a different language.
The specific example with ppsspp is the core of the program appeared to be written in c++ but they have folders with java code that allows it to execute on android. How is this done exactly?

Compiled code isn't written in a "language", it's written in actual calculations a processor can execute, at that level, programming languages don't matter.

Where would I go to find out how to take compiled code and use it in another language?

That's literally just emulation.

So when the program the psp emulator for pc do the emulate the pc with android? is that what your saying?

In that case they're just marginally modifying the code so it runs on ARM android instead of x86 Windows/Linux/etc

So is there a term for that. Where would i look to learn how to do that?

Porting to a different architecture.

Thanks a lot.

In the case of ppsspp the Java will be a wrapper for the CPU and GPU emulators written in CPP, the CPP is compiled to different arm versions and distributed with the Java code. when you run it the compiled CPP is executed by the Java.
