Why, yes. I speak both languages fluently - although my Jovial is a
little rusty from disuse. Besides, I'm pretty expensive. :-)
I've not heard of a machine translator, but I'm pretty sure that even if
you had one, you wouldn't want to live with the result. Most of the
machine translators I've seen take semi-respectable code as input and
produce fewmets as output. Jovial is sufficiently different from Ada
that there is no good one-for-one translation for many common features.
In which case, I'd opt for a human translator to reengineer the code.
