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.
