I guess I would always ask the target language folk how to translate 
to their language.  The proponents of the to-be-translated-away-from 
language will never see why you would do such a foolish thing as 
leave.  Notice that nobody inquired as to why you wanted to translate.

I might add that it rarely makes economic sense to translate working 
code into a new language, unless the old language can no longer be 
supported, for whatever reason.
