DO NOT DO IT.  I am at a site that translated PLM to Ada via a software
package thinking it would be cheaper.  What a horrible mess that 100k
system turned out to be.  Every parameter was passed as a
'System_Address. Strings were constructed using Char'Pos.  Arg.  Totally
unmaintainable code, even by the developers.

Save yourself a lot of trouble, rewrite the system in the new language.
