For those that do care, it’s not trying to emulate the actual hardware of the xbox one it’s just translating system calls to work on normal Windows PCs. WINE, the inspiration for the name, stands for WINE IS NOT AN EMULATOR so they probably didn’t want to call it one. But you could call it high level emulation if you want.
So is it an emulator? Or does “translation layer” mean something else?
For those who don’t care, it’s an emulator.

So it’s HLE?
Well the E stands for emulation, so no.
