Generally a library will be released in a single language (for example C). If the library tuns out to be useful then many language wrappers for that library will be written. How exactly do they do it?
Kindly someone throw little light on this topic. If it is too language dependent pick language of your choice and explain it.

Wrappers can be individual software components, independent software products, software architectures, classes in object-oriented programming, or frameworks. If you want to use functions or code blocks of another programming language within a program, you can encapsulate them using a wrapper.
Python [Graduated]This it currently the most popular wrapper (followed by the Java Wrapper), and it is currently used across a large number of use-cases, serving custom logic with models trained using Keras, PyTorch, StatsModels, XGBoost, scikit-learn and even custom operating system based proprietary engines.
Wrapper libraries (or library wrappers) consist of a thin layer of code (a "shim") which translates a library's existing interface into a compatible interface. This is done for several reasons: To refine a poorly designed or complicated interface.
A wrapper consists of three separate code libraries; these are the top-level library and the fenced and unfenced libraries. The shared library for the top-level library is provided as part of the wrapper development kit. The remaining two libraries must be built from your wrapper code.
There are a few options that come to mind:
If I wanted to wrap a C library with a managed (.NET) layer, I'd compile the library into a DLL, exposing the APIs I wanted. Then, I'd use P/Invoke to call those APIs from my C# code.
