- This article is about moving software to a different system; see Porting (engine) for engine tuning.
The term is not usually applied to the process of adapting software so that it is capable of running on a computer with less memory, but with the same CPU and operating system, or a rewrite to a different language (i.e., language conversion or translation).
Software developers often claim that the software they write is portable, meaning that little effort is needed to port it to a new environment. The amount of effort actually needed will depend on the extent to which the original environment (the source platform) differs from the new environment (the target platform), the experience of the original authors in knowing which programming language constructs and third party library calls are unlikely to be portable, and the amount of effort invested by the original authors in only using portable constructs (platform specific constructs often provide a cheaper solution).

I'm playing with an Esperanto parser in C. I'm porting bits of it into Prolog. That's a very steep climb! Luckily, it's well written C.

@Ooma finally got my number ported! I feel whole again. :-) The number porting process was slow, but everything else has been excellent.
