Yeah but no one says that when they mean a compiler's preprocessor. A lot of computer tech terms are just used verbatim in german, so even just adapting the spelling from "Preprocessor" to "Präprozessor" is something. (I don't really care though. Programmers should use english if they use english programming languages. I.e. almost always.)

I'd rather go with "Vorübersetzer" though, that conveys the meaning better. ("Bearbeiter" (processor, editor) might describe the preprocessor better, but "Vorbearbeiter" doesn't convey that it runs before a compiler - as opposed to another "Bearbeiter".) "Compiler" also translates either as "Kompilierer" or "Übersetzer", where the latter fits with "Vorübersetzer".
