The Microsoft glossary has al-mujammi` for Assembler and al-mu'allif and
mutarjim for Compiler. In actual usage, there is taSniif for "to compile" and
muSannif for Compiler, but mutarjim is also used: e.g., mutarjim jaafaa (Java
Compiler). Assembler is explained as "lughat al-kambyuutir al-asaasiyya".
